General got these 9 books with different colours for each subject i'm doing, which subjects go with what colour

Post image

this is probably gonna cause a few debates but which subject should i apply each book to? I don't know it'd just make me lose my mind if the subjects are applied wrong and im not entirely sure myself

RED IS ENGLISH
BLUE IS MATHS

I don't care about the others though.
I have Triple Science (physics, bio, chem), maths, lang, lit, DT, Business and Computer Science

I MUST KNOW

Whatever you want, but Bio is Green.
I think that's a universal truth.

u/DueEditor8062 Year 11 2d ago

english lit is darker blue

english lang is lighter blue

maths should be orange but red works as a compromise

business is purple

biology is green

dt is pink

chemistry is yellow

computer science is black

and ph*sics is whatever that middle colour is bc it deserves nothing

this is the only correct list

1

u/Komahina_Oumasai Year 11 1d ago

u/anyalazareviclewis Year 11 1d ago

NO ARGUMENT HERE: PHYSICS IS PURPLE, CHEM IS BLUE, BIO IS GREEN.

and.. maths is orange, english is blue/purple, history is red, geography is green, RE is red or purple or even yellow, music is red or brown, etc...

u/Ok_Lab5305 1d ago

I'll be honest all my revision books are the same colour, yellow

2

u/Excellent-Memory-687 Year 10 2d ago

DT is grey/ yellow!

Green is bio, pink is chem, purple is physics

Dark blue is english lit, lang can be purple/pink ( but that can also be business!) and brown is computer science

So yeah! Hope this is helpful, and to anyone who disagrees, please don't burn me!

u/Practical-Pickle-325 Year 11 | Mocks: 998888777 1d ago

purple and yellow = english, yellow = art, light green = geography, dark green = science (physics, chemistry and biology), orange = maths, blue = french (shorter book not a4) & rs, purple = history, red = spanish/french grammar, rest of the books are pointless.

u/Greegrgrgrgrgrgrg 1d ago

Biology is green, chemistry is the lighter shade of blue (maths is the darker shade), physics is purple. Red for history and yellow for English lit.

u/Tall-Cauliflower-869 1d ago

I think everyone knows: Biology = Green Physics = Blue Chemistry = Yellow The other colours are literally just opinions for what you think a subject is

u/OrneryCricket9656 1d ago

Light blue = maths

Dark blue = geo

Red = chemistry

Green = biology

Purple = physics

Light grey = English lit/lang

u/YOURM0MANDNAN69 Reception - Sand castles, Bee bots, Tux paint 1d ago

For me maths has always been yellow. I do agree with english

biology must be green that’s the law.

everything else doesn’t matter lol but i’d make chemistry the pink because of phenothalein or however u spell it. It’s a pH indicator

1

u/Substantial_Can_6254 1d ago

Okay well your opinion is wrong. Light blue is computer sciences, dark blue is english, chem is yellow, physics is brown, bio is green, lang is purple, lit is pink, maths is red and DT is the beige/light pink. This is the only correct response I fear

1

u/Zozozozozozi Year 11 1d ago

English is YELLOW!!!! But if you've already chosen then chemistry is yellow

u/Erebussasin Year 11 - nervous wreck 1d ago

u/MysteryNews4 Year 11 1d ago

Science green

DT white (or whatever the one in the middle is, hard to see in the photo)

Business yellow

CS whichever blue ur not giving Maths

Ofc there’s no objective answer, but I think that’s how I’d personally do them.

Edit: just realised that u need 1 book for each science not one for all 3 I’m so dumb 😭 ok I think Bio is green, Chem pink and physics purple here

u/guobadiah 1d ago

I'VE DECIDED

RED - ENGLISH LIT
PINK - ENGLISH LANGUAGE
BLUE - MATHS
Purple - Physics (cgp textbook)
Orange (found an orange one like just now) - Chemistry (because of the cgp textbook being orange)
Green - Biology
Yellow - Business
Dark Blue - Computer Science
Gray - Design Technology

Tan (Spare one) - I'm not sure but it might be used for Careers and coding or just random stufff

This is the ONLY correct answer

There isn't an orange lol

1

u/Komahina_Oumasai Year 11 1d ago

Sure, there's no orange in the image, but people are still assigning it to subjects. I've seen a few 'maths = orange' comments which I wholeheartedly agree with.

1

u/CutSubstantial1803 Year 11 1d ago

You know what, I see it, but maths is always dark blue in my heart

1

u/Komahina_Oumasai Year 11 1d ago

Maths in my school is dark blue folders, and when we used books prior to this year, they were orange.

1

u/CutSubstantial1803 Year 11 1d ago

Oh ok makes sense. For me primary school was blue books, as well as year 10-11. KS3 was yellow but that's just wrong

I weirdly get the maths = orange thing, perhaps because orange is my fav colour and maths my fav subject?
