Hot take, math is blue, English is yellow, science is green, and history is red

u/Pass_The_Salt_ Aug 01 '26

Lukewarm take. This is how it should be

1

u/Suspicious_State_318 Aug 01 '26

No! History is red because of blood and war and English is yellow because that’s the color of pages in most novels

1

u/FVCarterPrivateEye Aug 01 '26

History is red for me because my highschool history classes were in the red hallways

Math is green, science is yellow, and English is blue for the same reason

1

u/Tasty-Longpig Aug 01 '26

This is the actual answer. Especially for me in the UK, most schools use colour to coordinate lesson areas. For me personally, Maths was blue, green was english lit/lang, red was science and yellow was history.

The only objective truth is that Maths should always be blue. No other colour ever felt right, I had to go and buy blue notebooks just to do anything in it

Ice cold, below freezing, next coming of the ice age take. This is the correct answer

u/gmiller89 Aug 01 '26

Not a hot take. Immediately thought the same

u/doxie_love Aug 01 '26

Yes! MATH IS BLUE!

1

u/LevelPrestigious4858 Aug 01 '26

What colour is economics

1

u/SwingExpensive9909 29d ago

I guess purple cuz it's about math and numbers changing over time. math is blue and history is red. Blue+red is purple

1

u/SwingExpensive9909 29d ago

I would probably choose indigo

1

u/LevelPrestigious4858 29d ago

Ridiculous. It’s green because money

1

u/N0n_4me Aug 01 '26

Finally someone who knows the truth.

1

u/Short-Sound-4190 Aug 01 '26

Yes but I will conceed that English can also be purple, especially in a Shakespeare year, and History can be red or yellow if English is purple.

1

u/Lights-and-Sound Aug 01 '26

Exactly! How can no one understand this simple concept!

1

u/skip_over Aug 01 '26

History is black, spanish is red

1

u/Kilngr Aug 01 '26

This is the correct one.

1

u/SnooAvocados3138 Aug 01 '26

100% accurate statement. We gotta have something in common. B- blood? Taurus? You got one big toe that’s waaaay bigger than the other???

1

u/Thewolfmansbruhther Aug 01 '26

This is the answer.

1

u/whiskeytango55 Aug 01 '26

I think English and history can be interchanged safely

1

u/Blitzmint Aug 01 '26

This is the way.

u/GrowlyBear2 Aug 01 '26

I was just about to say the same thing.

1

u/bad_napper Aug 01 '26

1

u/skyshroudace Aug 01 '26

This is absolutely the right combo

1

u/nullJaeger Aug 01 '26

1

u/pearllypie3 Aug 01 '26

I'm team this answer

1

u/fph03n1x Aug 01 '26

I genuinely dont care about any iterations, as long as math is blue and science is green

1

u/PorkyJones72 Aug 01 '26

Perfection

1

u/ThellysLateralus Aug 01 '26

I agree with science and English but math and history are reversed. But history can't be lite blue. It must be regular blue. Hypno toad has spoken.

1

u/ANakedCowboy Aug 01 '26

This is right, I dont know why, but it is

1

u/PsychologicalYam153 Aug 01 '26

u/QueenofDaleks Aug 01 '26

This is the way.

u/GEN0S667 Aug 01 '26

history is not red history is yellow

1

u/UnableMetal8106 Aug 01 '26

English is not yellow

1

u/Cfox1B Aug 01 '26

Science: Earth=Green History: Bloodshed=Red Math: Sadness= Blue English: Don't really understand why but Yellow just feels right.

1

u/fuck-ya-mudda Aug 01 '26

Science green and history red are factual but Math is black and English is yellow or a fun/funky design 🤣

1

u/1000000Peaches4Me Aug 01 '26

Im definitely a yellow english minded guy, I was a bit surprised by the top comments

1

u/Tljunior20 Aug 01 '26

Swap maths and history and you’re good

1

u/pfunk1982 Aug 01 '26

This is the only correct answer

1

u/Traditional_Map2192 Aug 01 '26

Would only change Math to purple myself, but blue is also fine.

1

u/DaScamp Aug 01 '26

u/Grizzly25707 Aug 01 '26

Swap English and history and you got it.

1

u/AJP11B Aug 01 '26

Yeah you get it.

1

u/TY-97Z Aug 01 '26

The only correct answer I've seen, though I used a white binder instead of yellow, but if I had to use yellow that would be the case

1

u/happy_goosey Aug 01 '26

YES. Thank you!

1

u/LingonberryDry4313 Aug 01 '26

The only sensible person here

1

u/Hereseangoes Aug 01 '26

This is the way. There are a lot of English is red folks out there, but after reading The Yellow Wallpaper in English class, English has to be yellow. 

1

u/TDoW12 Aug 01 '26

You are correct.

1

u/Rick-D-99 Aug 01 '26

This is 100% correct.

1

u/BlueClovr Aug 01 '26

English and math need to switch colors

1

u/ThortheAssGuardian Aug 01 '26

Half right. Math is green, science is blue.

u/stevealanbrown Aug 02 '26

This is the coldest of takes because it’s the RIGHT ANSWER

1

u/AnaBHami Aug 02 '26

Agreed. If these were the only subjects I taught, this would be my system. I colour code all my subject books (grade 5/6 teacher). Math=blue, Health=red, English=yellow, Science=green, Social Studies (history)=orange.

1

u/Anumerical Aug 02 '26

Math is physics which is the sky. Math = blue. Science is biology like grass. Science = green. English is a weird amalgamation of languages. Just like how yellow doesn't exist in nature. English = yellow. History is bloody. History = Red.

1

u/FilmBadger Aug 02 '26

This is the way

u/_Virgin_Vixen_ Aug 02 '26
