That dad is correct. History is yellow

Come to think of it, all of my history / social science folders were yellow.

It weird how nature do that.

I feel like the dad is describing exactly how I color tabbed my folders.

Maybe there was some kind of standard back in the day?

No cap, math is red as shit fam

Red as shit. Science is blue and English is green, too, I'm pretty certain this is how I organized my school subjects

history is brown

Automation is red, logistics is green. Factorio decided this years ago.

DSP decided that automation was blue, logistics is red, and white is still white, lol.

Wait I thought yellow was bad, red was better and blue was best

yellow is pretty hard to make. low density structures and blue circuits completely fuck your copper lines unless you prepare

The rest of this is up for debate but science is absolutely green.

Star Trek didn't think so. Their science uniforms are blue.

The Research bubble in Civ is blue and that's really all I need to know I'm right.

Where do you have only one "science" school subject? I always had physics, chemistry and biology separately.

Elementary school was like that for me. Just "Math, Reading, Science, Social Studies." I still don't know how geography fell under the umbrella of social studies.

Probably because geography has had a huge impact on societies and cultures, if I had to guess

Math or history didn't bother you? The last time you had a class called "Science" was probably the same as the last time you had a class called "Math" and a class called "History": elementary or junior high.

They're being used as general subject terms...

That's a very American point of view. I had multiple science classes (Physics, Biology, Chemistry) and a single Math and History class each. (I'm from Germany)

The different math classes that I know of from the US (Trig, Calculus, etc.) are all just taught in Math class according to the school year you're in.

I always had just one math class (the last one was "Math for physicists 3", in the third semester at university) and what would "history" be split into as a school subject?

My high school offered US History, Religion History, World History, European History and 20th Century History. US Govt and Economics, Anthropology and Film History were also taught by the same dept and the credits went towards social studies requirements.

Pretty sure they're talking about the colors of question categories in the board game Trivial Pursuit.

Meanwhile, Coldplay:

"And it was all Yellow"

Starfleet is expanding its number of departments.

It got a little out of hand with the original movies. Despite everyone wearing red jackets, their collars had colors based on their departments. There were seven in total at that time:

  • Red = Trainee
  • Light Green = Medical
  • Dark Green = Security
  • Yellow = Engineering
  • Blue = Special Services
  • Gray = Science
  • White = Command

I feel like this meme is having an aneurysm

Same. From comment section I get people are talking about being school kids but like... Social studies is 3 ring binder, math is spiral notebook with perforations, English is library book and black and white composition notebook, science is a folder that gets replaced monthly after it rips... All loaded into a backpack along with like 5 textbooks wrapped in brown paper

I once heard that there is a theory that things written on yellow is more memorable. Which is why the default original color for legal pads, post-its, and highlighters is yellow.

So yellow should be what ever you need to memorize more. So it depends on your teacher and how much of the subject matter needs to be memorized. I'd say it should be history as there are a lot of dates and minute details, but I could also understand it being used for any subject that needs memorization like foreign languages, science, and even math.

Blue and green are both calming colors so those should either be reserved for that classes that give you the most stress or the classes that benefit the most from being calm, like creative writing or music.

Red is an exciting color, use it on what ever subject you are most confident i or interested in.

I guess I think the bearded guy (wait...it that a beard or just a long mustache?) Is using my system correctly.

You guys had coloured stuff?

"you see, in the past we were so poor, we couldn't afford colors" -- this pearl of wisdom brought to you by your nan who had to walk uphill both ways to school

If there’s two things I know in this world it’s that math is red and science is blue.

Math		Green
Science		Blue
History		Yellow
Writing		Red

Since transitioning to work, but still keeping a notebook, I use the following. Colours based entirely on what pencils/highlighters I had when I first started taking notes at work.

Assigned work		Blue
Ad hoc			Orange
Errors			Pink/Red
Solutions		Green
Actualizing		Yellow
WTF			Purple

Math : Red

Science : Blue

Language Arts : Yellow

History : Green

Green is maths and I will die on this hill

Green is biology, blue is physics or generic science.

History is purple

Literature and language are red or pink

Yellow is an objectively disgusting color which is chosen for the objectively worst subject: math.

English-Purple

Science-Blue

Social studies/history/civics-Green

Math-Red

Homework-Yellow (or one year I had a pinkie pie folder)

Math is red, science is green or purple, writing / literature is blue or yellow, history is yellow or green.

Agreed except Science is blue and Writing is Purple per Civ rules. Also, what the fuck are we talking about?

For me,

  • Math - red
  • Science - blue
  • History/geography - green
  • Language arts - yellow
  • Art - purple

Math is definitely blue, science is definitely green. ELA was yellow, but history/social studies was purple.

Hmm, chemistry red, biology green, physics blue. The rest we'll need to think about. I can probably accept yellow or orange for maths.
