To me, this is 1000% building on the idea of debating the colors of school subjects. I've added a bit of explanation to the text about it. I used my own color associations & reasons (science = green, history = red) as an example, and I'm sure people will disagree with me. Leave your color/subject associations in a reply to this comment, could be a fun little debate! (also, English = blue) Zman350x (talk) 23:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

SocStud is yellow, Math is red, Science is green?, ELA is gray, French is blue, and orange is my least favorite subject out of the rest. I have gotten into many arguments with my friends. 172.70.230.157 00:10, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Science = Green (green flask bubbling) Social Studies = Blue (blue and green globe, green is taking) Math = Red (math is reliable, red is a strong color so i associate it with reliability) English = Yellow (all other colors are taken) Also electrons are blue Iffy (talk) 23:53, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
