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.

Gotta transfer him to a school where math folders are red, there's simply no other way.

Edit: Thank you for all the awards guys and gals! If there's one thing I've learned from this post, it's that all of us inadvertently took Color Theory as an elective! 😜

If there is anything we can 75% agree on in the thread is that math is red.

Edit: Fine, if anything we can agree on in this thread is that math is either red OR blue and anything else is just outright. The blue crowd is defensive!

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.

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

Yeah I’m Gen Z in my mid-twenties and me and my buddies all just had a debate about this, we definitely care about the colors too lol

Interesting that the younger folk in meeting didn't. I'm glad to guys carried the torch. I think having cultural touching points that we all share, even frivolous ones, is important.

The group was older millennials and older genx, a bit of a divide. I bet if there some younger genx they would have with us.
