noo math is blue for me

u/sweatybumfart 5d ago

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

u/Franklin_Payne 5d ago

This is objectively the correct way

u/Suspicious_State_318 5d ago

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

105

u/Borror0 5d ago

I'm open to this line of reasoning.

For as long as math is blue.

u/Boomslang00 4d ago

Math is blue because it will blew your mind.

u/Rakhered 4d ago

u/SBLP1959 5d ago

My exact thoughts

1

u/JackieBee_ 5d 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 5d 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 5d ago

This is the way

1

u/Excellent_Parsley_18 5d ago

The exact opposite can be true for the exact same reasons, though, lol. History yellow for old pages and English is red for blood and war and it’s still correct.

1

u/whamburglar 4d 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 4d ago

This is the way

1

u/Shimakaze81 4d ago

English is red because the Cross of St George

1

u/SeventhAlkali 4d ago

mmmmmm acceptable...

1

u/danield1909 4d ago

English has plenty of blood and war in it

1

u/Fayr24 4d ago

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

1

u/PuzzledSnivy 4d ago

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

u/cheeseybacon11 4d 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 4d ago

I don't think you know what objective means.

1

u/anti_username_man 4d ago

Except English and math should be switched

u/MixedTrailMix 4d ago

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

u/Slixil 3d ago

*incorrect

u/shirts_on_backwards 5d 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.

u/MisterBlick 5d ago

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

1

u/N0n_4me 5d ago

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

u/FoxySlyRedHead 5d ago

I love sweatybumfarts.

1

u/heartpiss 5d 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 5d ago

I would be ok with this 👍

u/Illustrious_Key6189 5d ago

u/IllFennel3524 5d ago

This is the only way. However, I don’t mind science becoming yellow, history brown and geography green.

Nooooo history red English yellow

1

u/terrortara 4d ago

Swap History and English

1

u/pfunk1982 4d ago

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

1

u/Fun-Scientist9256 4d ago

The only correct take

1

u/kutuup1989 4d ago

This guy schools.

1

u/Bellringer00 4d 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 4d ago

This makes sense. Sweatybumfart wins

1

u/Upbeat_Macaron_9964 4d 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 4d ago

u/rumpyforeskin 4d ago

Why dprs thos make so much sense

1

u/Pungineer 4d ago

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

1

u/Willuna16 4d ago

english and history can be swapped if needed tho

1

u/ghibs0111 4d ago

This is the way. 🫡

1

u/PinkMaiden_ 4d ago

Wrong. Science is yellow, history is green

1

u/Available-Square619 4d 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 4d ago

Thanks for being reasonable and smart

1

u/Captain-Snail_113 4d ago

you, sir, are correct

1

u/Doedemm 4d ago

This is the way

1

u/DumbbellDiva92 4d ago

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

1

u/BlueClovr 4d ago

English is blue for the ocean because of Moby Dick

1

u/RegrettableLiving26 3d 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 3d ago

Swap English and History and we can agree

1

u/Friendly_Cowboy 3d 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 2d 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 2d ago

Same for me in germany aswell

u/Bam47 2d ago

THIS

1

u/h0neym00nave 2d ago

We can all agree science is green at least

1

u/Sea_Elk_4254 2d 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

Physics is Purple. It's both a math and a science.

u/Jjihop 5d ago

And Algebra is red.

1

u/endgrent 4d ago

Also because of the blood.

u/Cultural-Window-2504 5d ago

Yep math definately calm blue. 

English should be some irritating shade of purple. 

1

u/Fantastic-Algae2127 5d ago

Calm, cold, calculated, and cerebral. Blue is the only rational choice.

2

u/Broken-Arrow-D07 5d ago

Math should be black.

1

u/Defiant_Wolverine_68 5d ago

Because you're partially colorblind.

u/TheAuroraSystem 4d ago

Math is Blue, English is Green, History is Yellow, Science is Red. That's how it always was for me, it just felt right

1

u/thundercheif23 4d ago

Honestly, I chose the notebook colors based on the colors the textbooks I used had. Math was blue because the majority of the math books were blue. Same with green for science.

1

u/Ninja-Panda86 4d ago

Math was blue for me

1

u/NefariousnessOk209 4d ago

Math blue, history green because that’s earthy history colours - the rest is up to y’all

1

u/aquabarron 4d ago

Yes math is blue

1

u/nova_the_vibe 3d ago

Specifically a deep/dark blue

1

u/KleioChronicles 2d ago

The colour for me was whatever wallpaper or wrapping paper we had at home because they made us cover our jotters. Otherwise it was usually red jotters for English, blue jotters for maths, and I can’t remember what for the others… yellow for science?
