Since transitioning to work, but still keeping a notebook, I use the following. Colours based entirely on what pencils/highlighters I had when I first started taking notes at work.
<span style="color:#323232;">Assigned work Blue
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Ad hoc Orange
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Errors Pink/Red
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Solutions Green
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Actualizing Yellow
</span><span style="color:#323232;">WTF Purple

I once heard that there is a theory that things written on yellow is more memorable. Which is why the default original color for legal pads, post-its, and highlighters is yellow.
So yellow should be what ever you need to memorize more. So it depends on your teacher and how much of the subject matter needs to be memorized. I’d say it should be history as there are a lot of dates and minute details, but I could also understand it being used for any subject that needs memorization like foreign languages, science, and even math.
Blue and green are both calming colors so those should either be reserved for that classes that give you the most stress or the classes that benefit the most from being calm, like creative writing or music.
Red is an exciting color, use it on what ever subject you are most confident i or interested in.
I guess I think the bearded guy (wait…it that a beard or just a long mustache?) Is using my system correctly.
