Whether you’re still a student or not, I bet a lot of people have very strong opinions on this.
Personally, I think it goes:
English/native language: orange/yellow
Science: green
History/social studies: purple
Math: blue
Foreign language (French): red
I initially picked these colors based on the vibe I got from the teacher, and then as I continued taking classes the colors changed somewhat, but I generally noticed this trend and have kept it like this for the past couple of years.
I haven’t had those subjects in a long time
But I remember my teachers in junior/high-school FIGHTING to have the right colour for their subject Everyone wanted Red.
Honestly, preblindness, I used different colors of two-pocket folder to sort my documents by subject matter(for my last year of community college, I think my categories where something like School records(held things like the results from standardize tests, my schedule for the current semester, my curriculum checklist, any printed transcripts I had), Student Government(I was the Secretary), Major course work, non-major coursework, and personal projects or something like that), but I can’t for the life of me remember the colors I used for what, though I think I had like silver, Black, green, and two shades of blue, so it might have been silver for school records, black for SGA, blues for course work, and green for personal projects… also, at times I had folders with loud, busy designs instead of solid colors, so there wasn’t really any color coding… and if memory serves, I mostly used the left hand pocket for archival and the right hand pocket for in-progress or ready for submission documents… but regardless, it changed every time I got new folders(the silver, black, blues, and green where the colors the school bookstore had for folders with the school’s branding at the time I bought them).
After going blind, my binder started gathering dust and I did everything digital if at all possible… do have a bunch of accumulated paper documents I should really go through and organize, and most of them can probably be fed to the paper shredder(I shred even the unimportant stuff when it comes to trash paper on the principle of security through obscurity and because shredding paper is kind of fun(though, it wish I had an effective way of using all my trash paper for paper crafts), but I don’t have room for a traditional flatbed scanner, have no clue where to start for finding a good portable scanner, not sure what the best way to OCR scanned documents would be, and of my two sighted house mates, one wouldn’t understand the documents well enough to tell me what is or isn’t important and the other wouldn’t have the patience to go through the whole pile in one setting and can’t be trusted to not be insufferable if there’s anything embarrassing among the papers I’m unaware of.
Yeah science being green just seems right. Though when I got to the last years of high school and Science got split into separate subjects, I had Biology as green and Chemistry as red
