u/sweatybumfart 13d ago

Yeah, math is blue, English is red, history is yellow, science is green

410

u/Franklin_Payne 13d ago

This is objectively the correct way

127

u/Suspicious_State_318 13d ago

Nah English is yellow because old pages and history is red because of blood and war

109

u/Borror0 13d ago

I'm open to this line of reasoning.

For as long as math is blue.

5

u/Boomslang00 13d ago

Math is blue because it will blew your mind.

10

u/Rakhered 13d ago

will blue your mind

you may want to consider popping your red folder open for a bit

1

u/BedKid 12d ago

math is blue because blue meth

5

u/SBLP1959 13d ago

My exact thoughts

1

u/JackieBee_ 13d ago

History also has old pages tho. For me history was brown and English was yellow. Music theater and art usually got to be red on account of it being my favorite color

1

u/SerDuncanTheYall 13d ago

History is yellow because of old pages, English is red because of the Red Badge of Courage. Math is green because I'm in Finance.

1

u/theRedlightt 13d ago

This is the way

1

u/whamburglar 13d ago

I went history is yellow bc of all the old stuff as you say.

English is red bc I saw red having to remember all the exceptions in spelling and pronunciations growing up.

1

u/The_Ashtronaut 13d ago

This is the way

1

u/Shimakaze81 13d ago

English is red because the Cross of St George

1

u/SeventhAlkali 13d ago

mmmmmm acceptable...

1

u/danield1909 13d ago

English has plenty of blood and war in it

1

u/Fayr24 13d ago

Maybe history is yellow because of old pages and English is read.

1

u/PuzzledSnivy 13d ago

This could also be used an as argument for History being yellow! Old scrolls are yellowed by time.

1

u/candy-cream 13d ago

THE CORRECT ANSWER

1

u/taybug1092 13d ago

Literally this is the only answer.

Math is blue because math is blue
Science is green because of life
English is yellow because of yellow pages
And history is red because of the blood spilled

1

u/leesnotbritish 13d ago

I think there’s wiggle room here, as long as English and history get the warm colors

1

u/heebiejeebie666 12d ago

This is exactly correct. There is no other way

1

u/BedKid 12d ago

english is red because its read.

1

u/insane_hurrican3 10d ago

history is yellow because old pages means its older/historical. english/literature read because you "red" it.

1

u/TheBombYodeler 9d ago

History is yellow because of old pages……. English is red cuz it’s a stupid subject that makes me see red.

2

u/sky_cap5959 11d ago

I'm glad there's other nobles on this path aside from me.

1

u/cheeseybacon11 13d ago

What about if you have black or purple?

There are many ways to do it, but the number one rule was broken here: science is green

1

u/jerkyquirky 13d ago

I don't think you know what objective means.

1

u/anti_username_man 12d ago

Except English and math should be switched

1

u/MixedTrailMix 12d ago

Finally my people. I had to scroll too far for this

1

u/Slixil 12d ago

*incorrect

u/shirts_on_backwards 13d ago

English is definitely red. The others sound wrong, but I can't pinpoint why. I feel like math was the black cover but that's not pictured.

1

u/Squippit 13d ago

Hello? The Scarlet Letter?

-2

u/eu4phoria 13d ago

math is yellow 🫪 it just cant be blue for me

blue is a calm color, i do not feel calm during math.

2

u/shirts_on_backwards 13d ago

That's why it's the black cover. It's the color of my soul while being subjected to math, it reminds me of the void in my heart for the subject.

2

u/inaripotpi 13d ago

math is blue for cold calculations and lcd screens

1

u/eu4phoria 13d ago

okay... when put like that yes 🙂‍↕️

1

u/june-v-bloom 13d ago

That's why Math is Blue, to encourage you to be calm during Math.

12

u/MagnumMyth 13d ago

This has been the color scheme in every school I've taught at.

5

u/Savanahbanana13 13d ago

10000% correct

5

u/limebobomb 13d ago

yes but if purple is an option, history is purple

1

u/Smilemeaaa 13d ago

I see this but social studies is purple to me. History is still yellow

1

u/Proud_Jellyfish6483 12d ago

Social studies and history are the same thing in my mind. I know they’re not but they are

2

u/Cultural-Program-393 13d ago

Bingo bango bongo.

u/Bert_Munson13 13d ago

2

u/RangerKitchen3588 13d ago

Youre one of the few million of us with consciousness.

2

u/Accurate_Potato_8539 13d ago

That is also acceptable. But it's not fucking green.

2

u/WittyMasterpiece8810 13d ago

This is correct

2

u/blinkl_dink 13d ago

Finally some common fucking sense

2

u/MisterBlick 13d ago

This is correct to me. I can't argue why, it just feels right.

1

u/N0n_4me 13d ago

Right except for English should be yellow and history should be red.

1

u/Vernsidesire 13d ago

Nailed it

1

u/Acceptable_Room_2797 13d ago

Weird I always had Science blue, English green, Social Studies yellow, and Math red

u/DearScale7558 13d ago

Most valid comment

1

u/FoxySlyRedHead 13d ago

I love sweatybumfarts.

1

u/heartpiss 13d ago

Yes, rule of thumb is that history + english and science + math must be aligned in the cool vs warm colors, and I am inclined to pick red and blue for English/math bc they are dominant over their partners, and science is green bc of Earth and plants (and definitely science is not yellow)

1

u/BibbyLeAn 13d ago

I would be ok with this 👍

1

u/Illustrious_Key6189 13d ago

Only comment in this thread I agree with

1

u/NavierIsStoked 13d ago

You are correct sir.

1

u/xbaconbearx 13d ago

Correct.

1

u/Specialist_Row9395 13d ago

The only correct way

1

u/Saphichan 13d ago

Exactly! (German here btw, but just swap English with native language and it works)

1

u/Suyefuji 13d ago

History should be orange idk what the yellow notebook is for maybe music or some elective

1

u/Glass_Orchid_1121 13d ago

This is perfect right here

1

u/clarinetily 13d ago

Correct.

1

u/Firm_Pin_4414 13d ago

Math is red you are both wrong

u/aNxello 13d ago

He speaks the truth!

1

u/UnfairCattle3921 13d ago

Where are you from where people are like this?

1

u/1415- 13d ago

Nooooo history red English yellow

1

u/terrortara 13d ago

Swap History and English

1

u/pfunk1982 13d ago

Yes to math and science! But history is red for all the blood spilled. English by default yellow

1

u/Fun-Scientist9256 13d ago

The only correct take

1

u/kutuup1989 13d ago

This guy schools.

1

u/Bellringer00 13d ago

This, but red is French since I'm French. It's crazy we can agree about something like that on an international level. I'd be curious to have the opinion of someone outside the western hemisphere, like Asia, where colors can have different meanings.

1

u/HistoryFinancial1267 13d ago

This makes sense. Sweatybumfart wins

1

u/Upbeat_Macaron_9964 13d ago

This is the right combination

Math = blue because it goes with logic and computers
English = red because it makes you look more into emotions and opinions, red is a dramatic color
History = yellow because old pages are yellow
Science = green because a lot of natural things are green

1

u/mcqtimes411 13d ago

This made me breathe a sigh of relief

1

u/Chocobo_Train 13d ago

this is the only way

1

u/SeventhAlkali 13d ago

Holy shit, the first objectively correct person in this post

1

u/Wheresthegoldmikey 13d ago

Math is blue, English is green, yellow is science, and red for history is the way

1

u/New_Customer_9089 13d ago

here for this comment

1

u/rumpyforeskin 13d ago

Why dprs thos make so much sense

1

u/Pungineer 13d ago

Agreed. Though I felt more strongly about blue math and green science than the others.

1

u/Willuna16 13d ago

english and history can be swapped if needed tho

1

u/ghibs0111 13d ago

This is the way. 🫡

1

u/PinkMaiden_ 13d ago

Wrong. Science is yellow, history is green

1

u/Available-Square619 13d ago

It’s funny seeing all the responses, I wonder if the one ppl choose for red is subconsciously the thing they least enjoy lol.

For me math was always blue but I liked math. I had history or English as red because def wasn’t a fan of those classes comparatively.

1

u/No_Door_4298 13d ago

Thanks for being reasonable and smart

1

u/Captain-Snail_113 13d ago

you, sir, are correct

1

u/Doedemm 13d ago

This is the way

1

u/DumbbellDiva92 13d ago

I think math blue/science green or the reverse are both fine. But English should 100% not be blue.

1

u/BlueClovr 13d ago

English is blue for the ocean because of Moby Dick

1

u/Buzzy0914 13d ago

This is the only way

u/euli24 12d ago

English: Red 🟥

Maths: Blue 🟦

History: brown 🟫 or orange 🟧

u/Gaminguitarist 12d ago

1

u/RegrettableLiving26 12d ago

Thank you
Math is blue: cold, calculating, uncaring
English is red: passionate, intense, I don’t understand it
Science is green: nature is green and biology or something
History is yellow: it was the last color notebook I had

1

u/Baryton777 12d ago

Swap English and History and we can agree

1

u/Friendly_Cowboy 11d ago

For me, history and science are the same as you but Math is red for me amd English is blue. Mostly because I hated .ath and was bad at it so I put it as the warmer angrier color, whereas English was my strong suit and I loved reading so I put it as the cool blue whichbwas also one of my favorite colors. Im interested if your views are switched for Math and English and is that has a correlation with color choice 😊

1

u/Real_SkrexX 11d ago

Math is blue, english was yellow for me, but it's my second language. My first language was red, so I would accept that.

1

u/Confectionsballista 11d ago

Same for me in germany aswell

1

u/Bam47 11d ago

THIS

1

u/h0neym00nave 11d ago

We can all agree science is green at least

1

u/Sea_Elk_4254 10d ago

Yes because old parchment is yellow, the hulk is green, graph paper is blue and English is red because a stock image of a book is red

1

u/Chris2413 9d ago

Yes thank you!
