In most cases i've seen it's like this:
Blue - (insert your country's language)
Red - Math
Green - Science
Yellow - History & Geography
For other subjects it varies from school to school.
I feel like for me it's always...
Green - science
Blue (but less often red) - math
And everything else varies
Yep the language/elective got the more unconventional color, and blue was the socials/history/humanities
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.
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.
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.
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!
🔵 Math 🟢 Science 🔴 Portuguese 🟠 History/Geography
Brazilian here. I've always associated this colors to this subjects. I guess our books were color themed or something.
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.
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.

After a while it all broke down tho
