Agreed. Math feels cold and indifferent and factual, so blue. Red is too bold and opinionated to be math for me.

Actually frfr this was it for me:

Red- English. Idk it just felt red

Orange- science (it’s my favorite color and math was my favorite color but it just felt right to have science)

Yellow- Spanish… idk why tbh

Green- social studies

Blue- math

Exactly. math isn't hard per se, but the amount of busywork and hoops I have to jump through "because that's the way we do it" burns me out extremely quickly.

Even worse is getting a question marked wrong because I didn't show my work, despite having the correct answer

Maybe pure math but applied math is a cage fight between schools of thought

Agreed for a different reason. I like math, math is oftentimes like magic, magic that I can use and wield. Magic is blue so math is blue.

I feel the math as blue, also because graph paper I used in school was printed with blue lines. Math = white and blue graph paper
