In my times I don’t recall such association, so I’m making this up.
It depends a lot of the curriculum, but I’d try something like:
- Literature - purple, due to purple prose. #7F007F.
- Native language, textual comprehension - red; fire, home. #BF0000.
- Any non-native language, including “foreign” ones and government ones - yellow? #BFBF00 fits I guess?
- Maths - black. Mostly because the most important number is zero, so it gets #000000.
- Chemistry - blue because it’s a colour that you barely see in nature, #0000BF. (It reminds me copper sulphate.)
- Biology - green, #00BF00.
- Physics - can I get ultraviolet here? If not, probably grey, #7F7F7F.
- Geography - if not going with an earthy hue I’d not take it seriously, so #3F1F00.
- History - rose to remind you that it’s always seen with rose-coloured glasses, so #FFAFAF.
Philosophy, computer stuff, civic order, similar: no idea.
Sex Ed - #B000B5
From my perspective in Germany:
- Yellow is English
- Blue is math
- Red is German
- Dark green is biology
- Light green is chemistry
- Purple is music
- Pink history
Color? In the USA we don’t have such standard. We had multiple colors for the same subject from teacher to teacher or year to year. Sometimes colors overlapped.
🟥Red - Math
🟦Blue - Reading
🟨Yellow - Writing
🟩Green - Science
This is perfection. Exactly.
Language Arts- dark yellow. Science - bright blue History and Geography- green Math - red Religion - purple Mine is probably different because I was homeschooled, but other people who were homeschooled may agree.
From my American high school subjects in no particular order:
-
English - Navy Blue
-
Science - Green
-
Math - Orange
-
History - Burgundy
-
Spanish - Red
-
Band - Brown
-
Gym - Yellow
-
Art - Salmon
-
Latin - White
-
Computer Science - Gray
-
Study Hall - Whatever color you see when you close your eyes, because that’s mostly what I did.
-
English - Blue with yellow sticker
Spanish - Purple with pink sticker
Math - Green with orange sticker
History - Orange with green sticker
Bio/Chem/Physics - yellow with pink sticker
Elective - Red with green or yellow sticker
I left high school literally 20 years ago, and I still remember the colors!
I used to have them all color-coded so I could keep my notebooks organized. I do not remember the colors and I threw those out ages ago.
Currently for me it’s like this:
- physics: blue
- chemistry: reddish-brown
- maths: yellow
- english: also blue fsr
🔴 Math 🟢 Language Arts 🔵 History 🟡 Science 🟣 Art
imo 🔴 Language Arts 🟢 History 🔵 Math 🟡 Art 🟣 Science
Red for English/language arts Blue for math Green for science Yellow for geography/social sciences/ history
