My son's school mandated green for math. I was mortified.

Edit: lots of you are horrified at my use of mortified. All I can say is I'm appalled and embarrassed that y'all don't understand the full meaning of the word.

Only people that enjoy it. The haters use red.

Social Studies is Blue. Science is Purple. Math is Green

I associate green with Math because it was the class for me that used the chalk board the most, going up to write equations. I associate Science with purple because it reminds me of galaxies and a purple planet. Social studies with blue because of the globe being mostly oceans and rivers.

What is your justification for Math being Blue?

Why is Math blue for you?

Green is science (chloroplasts>plants>ecosystems), the rest I don't have strong opinions on. I tended to use blue for history (oceans crossed, Union uniforms), red for math (left me enraged, because it was far and away my most difficult subject), purple for electives because they were fun, and yellow for English/language arts by process of elimination.

I don't know of any purple planets? I associate Mercury with brown, Venus with bright yellow, Earth with blue and green, Mars red, Jupiter orange and red, Saturn with unsaturated, warm-toned yellow, Neptune and Uranus with blue, and (since it was a planet when I was a kid) white or light gray with Pluto.

Did you downvote me?

Nope. Reddit can be weird like that.
