History and English are correct. They just swapped math and science.

Math: Blue
Science: Green
History: Orange or Yellow
English: Red

u/ArcturusGrey Aug 01 '26

I can see that, but science is GREEN and nothing else.

u/froginbog Aug 01 '26

This is the issue. English could be red but with science being green, what color would math be? There are no acceptable answers so it has to be red.

Same, blue feels more cold and calculated like math, red more passionate and up for interpretation like language.

Math is green, because you count the money.

Blue is science, because water is key to so many sciences.

Yellow is History, because old pages are yellow.

Red is english, because I hate english with a burning passion.

History is yellow because that’s what it is in Trivial Pursuit.

u/Short-Sound-4190 Aug 01 '26

GASP

TIL this is why I think English should be Purple if it's an option, also that the 2026 edition of Trivial Persuit just released this month after there hasn't been one since 2016!

I might buy one and have a retro board game night...AI is going to destroy trivia games.

u/Archimedes31415926 Aug 01 '26

u/ExplosiveGeek77 Aug 01 '26 edited Aug 01 '26

THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER YES YES YES YES YES

edit: im actually gonna give some context as to why (some of these are very silly lol)
Science: Green because I always thought of acid as being sciencey, and acid is green.
Math: Blue because when I was younger in school, the maths books always had blue covers.
History: Yellow because its like parchment, maps, aged things usually go more yellow. Antique coloring almost.
English: Red, I'm actually not super sold on this colouring myself but since it was the only one left this is what I would give it. However, I would say this because of the english books having red colours and back in the day we would always have red pen telling us what to fix.

Math would be blue if it was dark blue, but since it is light blue it belongs to English. Math would need to be a darker deep color like Red. Yellow is history since it is a lighter color signaling easier subject. And science is green because it is the color of nature.

Disagree. See Science is Green and Math and Science are pretty entertained. So if Science is Green Math has to be a complimentary color. So it had to be blue.

Then History is red because blood and war and 80% of flags worldwide have red on them.

Then Literature is yellow because it's the closest primary color to manila, the color of book pages.
