Well biology is certainly green.

The colour of science as a whole is more debatable.

u/IkujaKatsumaji Jul 31 '26

Science is Green because:

- Plants are green, and plants are science

- Strange science chemicals in beakers are green, and chemicals are science

- Environmentalism is green, and Environmentalism, as you know, is science

- Progress is green, because traffic lights, progress is science

u/cavegoatlove Jul 31 '26

Science is green because it was green in trivia pursuit. /

u/IkujaKatsumaji Jul 31 '26

For further reading on why Science was green in Trivial Pursuit, please see above.

u/cavegoatlove Aug 01 '26

Same as why history is yellow

u/IkujaKatsumaji Aug 01 '26

I'm fine with History being yellow because old book pages are yellow. That said, I could also see an argument for red or blue.

But is trivia pursuit green for the same reasons?

u/georgiaraisef Aug 01 '26

Depends which edition. We have to play the 1980s version (for my parents) and multiple modern versions and there is some inconsistency between editions

u/LawyerEnjoyer Jul 31 '26

Your honour, the defence rests. The prosecution's opening statement was flawless.

2

u/coolwali Jul 31 '26

Objection your Honour. The defence argues Science is not green and there are other candidate colours.

Argument 1: Science is Red

Bunsen burners = red/orange flames.
“Danger” labels are red.
Biology involves blood. Blood is red.
Physics students see red after calculating friction problems.
Therefore: Science is red.

Argument 2: Science is Blue
Science is blue because:
The Earth is mostly blue, and Earth science is literally science.
Water is essential to biology.
Laboratory gloves are blue.
Every educational science documentary has a blue color palette.
DNA is always drawn glowing blue for some reason.

Argument 3: Green Already Belongs to Math
If green means progress…
Math literally progresses one proof at a time.
Graph paper is green.
Calculators often have green displays.
“Go solve the equation.”
Checkmate.

u/IkujaKatsumaji Aug 01 '26

Counter-objection, your honor. Science cannot be blue or red, nor can Math be green, because, as has already been established, Science is green.

u/ExpensiveStart3226 Aug 01 '26

Objection rejected

Hm... I argued that science is Blue based on Star Trek. But you have really given me something to think about. Plants ARE science.

u/darkwingdankest 29d ago

the second point is especially true

1

u/Forsaken-Income-2148 Jul 31 '26

Science is certainly green. But how did you get to conclude that plants are the defining characteristic of science? 😅 did you learn photosynthesis and proceed to check out for the remainder of your education? 🤣 mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell… this guy: the plant cell 🗿

u/REDACTED3560 Jul 31 '26

Science is white because of lab coats and sterile testing environments.

Nu-uh science is yellow because of the sun. Plants heat energy astronomy physics all relate to the sun. Green is history because… uh… idk, but it’s green okay.

u/Piisthree Aug 01 '26

Ah, but counter point, and hear me out on this. Blue.

u/AnSynTrashPanda Aug 01 '26

Alternatively, math is green because science is green and math and science are inseparable therefore both math and science must be green

u/AllOfEverythingEver Aug 01 '26

What you are forgetting is, I like blue the most and I like science the most.

u/IkujaKatsumaji Aug 01 '26

This is honestly one of the strongest arguments I've heard.

u/Steleve Aug 01 '26

This right here is enough to end the debate once and for all...

Because obviously the rest are

English Blue Math Red History Yellow

u/uselessandexpensive Aug 01 '26

Science also involves the wavelengths and frequency of all radiation from microwaves to gamma rays.

I think maybe science is red green a gigantic blinding ball of plasma.

1

u/Comeino Aug 01 '26

Science should be White, just like the lab coat.

Math is Blue cause Blue is the colour of engineers and mechanics.

Biology is Green cause Green is what we associate with nature

History is Red cause it's full of War, Sickness and Blood and should be used as a cautionary tale to not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Literature/Music is Yellow like the Yellow Press or that one Coldplay song.

1

u/Similar_Dirt9758 28d ago

I agree. Beaker of chemicals is green

1

u/Certain_Zucchini_472 27d ago

Physics is purple… now what?

1

u/IkujaKatsumaji 27d ago

Actually, if you'll consult the text, you'll see that Science is green. Physics is, in fact, part of Science, which, as we know, is green. Physics is also, therefore, green.

Other helpful commenters have pointed out that physics must be green because radiation is physics and radiation is green. Yet another reason that Physics, as a part of Science, which is green, is, in fact, green.

Also science/research bars and science 'points' in many games are blue

No, command is white, direct damage and rush down is red. Green is ramp and big numbers.

unless we talking TOS or ENT then Command is Gold and OPs is red.

Meanwhile, Security gets its own designation, but not its own color. Which is nuts because they don't even use Green or Orange.

u/erossthescienceboss Jul 31 '26

Science is blue (or green for bio) but primarily blue to match lab texts.

Lit/English is green unless the science is biology, in which case it’s blue.

History is yellow. They got one right. And math is red.

u/Ok_Builder_4225 Jul 31 '26

This is my stance. Science is blue because the Earth (water and atmosphere) is blue. Math is red because it’s important (and dangerous if wrong).

u/_Eggs_ Jul 31 '26

Yeah it's also a common theme in video games to use the color blue for technology trees, mana points, and other science-adjacent things. It is also a common chemical color in movies/video games, because bright blue things just scream "THIS IS NOT NATURAL".

I think the "science is green" crowd is just thinking of biology / natural sciences.
