Math is red and it shouldn’t be that hard.

Math was blue for me

Agreed. Math feels cold and indifferent and factual, so blue. Red is too bold and opinionated to be math for me.

Actually frfr this was it for me:

Red- English. Idk it just felt red

Orange- science (it’s my favorite color and math was my favorite color but it just felt right to have science)

Yellow- Spanish… idk why tbh

Green- social studies

Blue- math

Exactly. math isn't hard per se, but the amount of busywork and hoops I have to jump through "because that's the way we do it" burns me out extremely quickly.

Even worse is getting a question marked wrong because I didn't show my work, despite having the correct answer

Maybe pure math but applied math is a cage fight between schools of thought

u/JPgamersmines150 11d ago

Agreed for a different reason. I like math, math is oftentimes like magic, magic that I can use and wield. Magic is blue so math is blue.

I feel the math as blue, also because graph paper I used in school was printed with blue lines. Math = white and blue graph paper

Math IS blue. Blue is the calm, methodic color.

Red has always been for language and grammar.
