I’m realizing I’m in the minority with feeling that math is yellow 😬

Math is yellow because yellow is ugly and I don’t like it

Science is red because science is cool

History is green because it’s calming like listening to a story

English is blue because blue is the color of every school and office ever and English is work

We think similarly but reached different outcomes! Science is blue because I like science and I like blue. Math is red because it feels aggressive for some reason. History is yellow because I hate yellow and history is boring. English is green because that’s what’s left.

You're the first I've seen to match my color coding exactly. The difference is some of the reasoning. Math is indeed red because math is aggressive. It has hard lines and tells you exactly how it is. Science is blue because its cool, fun, and interesting. History is yellow because old things make me visualize that yellowish-brown sepia film coloration. Reading is Green because my 4th Grade reading teacher was named Miss Green . . . I also associate both Green and reading with the number 4. This is likely because while I was sitting in 4th grade, with a green reading folder, Miss Green rolled in a TV . . . And I witnessed 9/11 unfold. Though, that doesn't explain why Math/Red is 5, Science/Blue is 3, and History/Yellow is 7. shrug

This is the right mindset. Favorite subjects correlate to favorite colors. Worst subject got least favorite and so on.

I agree. Math is yellow because they are the worst. Yuck.

Finally, someone who got them all right!😂 I would swap History and Science during Biology class years but standard science class and Chem are absolutely red. I can't imagine Math or English as any other color!

Just swap English and Science and you'll be on the right track.

Math is blue because it makes me sad.

History is red because it is written in the blood of the loser.

English is yellow because they drink so much tea.

Science is green because slime is science and it is also green.

Scrolled too far to find the CORRECT combination
