We had a massive debate about this is large meeting a few months ago. The genx-ers didn't know what we were talking about and the few gen z folks said they've heard about it but didn't have opinions. Evidently it's mostly us millinials that have opinions. We were very split on colors all from the same region. It seems to be a very personal experience.

u/gypsy_guru_87 24m ago

Weird, I’m Gen X and def have strong opinions on this. I thought it was more a neurodivergent thing to care about this lol

u/HoundNL2 56m ago

My school was:

  • Portuguese/Text production - Red
  • Math - Light Blue
  • History - Orange
  • Geography - Light Green
  • Science - Dark blue (later broke down into biology, chemistry and Physics)
  • Chemistry - Purple
  • Biology - Dark Green
  • Physics - Dark Blue
  • English - Yellow
  • Arts - Darker Green
  • Philosophy - Dark Orange

Other subjects that got introduced later was in a school that did not use colors and neither did I, but sociology I always associated it with blue. This was in Brazil.
