Alright I have a fun game you name a class( doesn't have to necessarily be in MTG) and think of what color it should be. I'll startNinja- Blue(off of MTG ninjas and historical Shinobi)the black ones are rats.

Introduction to Film - Red, because it is about emotion and such.
Oh is that not the type of class you meant, oh my, ummmm.

Middle Class - Green/white, because they tend to be very ordinary and numerous.
Oh...

Malacostraca- Blue, they have strong ties to the sea and water in general.

Surreal Numbers - Blue, as they are difficult to fathom and make sense to only the most emotionless, robotic people.
But seriously though, being more clear and using your Enter key will go a long way to prevent trolling.

Hold on a sec guys when I meant class I meant like jobs. Like a knight or rogue not actual educational classes. pookypuppy6 you literally paraphrased me. You just proved all my points in your first paragraph. I don't see how you can contradict someone while regurgitating what they just said. Anyway the coward class looks cool, great idea.
Alright next class Paladin: Obviously white but possibly red because they are zealous in their hunt for the undead.

Yeah you sorta set yourself up for being trolled a little bit.
Class: Environmentalist
Color: Green, they're all about the power of nature and destroying industry.

Its all in good fun sir, I decided to go with a different definition of class and then we just all ran with it. It is fun to not only think of a color for a class, but a different definition of what class is with each iteration. One that note:
Coach: White, because the accommodations there treat everyone equally. As if they are of little value overall.

Physician: Bant, because it incorporates kindness and justice, intelligence and a respect for life all at once.

Mine was about an airline class not a profession, just to be clear, although the statement works equally well for the profession. So yeah that too.

@Rejex: I paraphrased you because I was weirded out by your chosen example. So of any possible class and job to exemplify the process of your given challenge...you chose one that already existed in Magc AND had a chosen identity? Just seemed a bit tame to start off with an existing and well-known one. I then decided to take the challenge to heart nonetheless and go to twn with my whole Coward debate.
Here's another one: Drone. Now Drones often apply to artifact constructs with the implication of mindlessness and systematic operation. But could that spread to other colours? I mean, black when you think about it has a race of similar drones: Zombies, made to systematically destroy the living. What about red, that often applies multiple constructs and things like Elementals that serve to guard or wreck stuff?
White or even Selesnya could even be argued to have thousands of drones under their command, as White often stands under a communal banner devoid of individuality and serve as parts of a greater working military machine. That doesnt necessarily mean "drone", but Selesnya push it further as other guilds do actually call them a brainwashing nature cult.

Ninjas ARE represented by shinobi and rats and in those colours already, actually. Kamigawa block put the Ninjutsu mechanic in those colours. Blue ninjas were your shinobi-style nunjas, black was made of rats (Nezumi).
Anyway, a class.....hmmmm.... Coward. Now Coward was seen on Boldwyr Intimidator as it can turn enemy creatures into Cowards. But what colour would Cowards represent? I mean, no one colour atttributes itself to having fear; the closest we get is black which likes inflicting fear upon others.
Maybe black would be the colour for cowards though, as the underlying quest for power and often eternal life and power is perpetrated by fears of mortality or even personal ruin or insignificance, to the point where they would inflict pain upon themselves and do anything necessary to obtain the power to run away from their fears. But then, a coward wouldn't really do all that stuff...cowardice also suggests inaction, which wouldn't point to "power at all costs" mentality.
White is often pacifistic and can be inactive, but we too often see them portrayed as cards that stand up and be honourable or noble. Maybe blue is cowardly; they do indeed have the least direct and "retreat", from-the-shadows style of gameplay and avoids conflict.. But cowardice does not often indicate an overarching grand plan or an intelligent trickster either.
