Go To


1	'''Basic Trope''': An object colored red will appear to move more quickly than normal.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob's racecar is red. It regularly outruns other racecars that are not also red.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Even though every other car in the race is red, Bob's racecar is ''candy'' apple red, so he still wins.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Bob manages to beat [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]] with an identical-model racecar by a few milliseconds because his is red.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** The red paintjob is new. Bob's racecar was always the fastest.
7	** The race takes place in a simulation where paint job customisation affects stats. Red reduces air resistance and therefore increases speed.
8	** You don't need as thick a coating to get full red as for getting full green, blue or whatever, which means less weight to hold the engine back. [[note]]Even if it only increases speed by 0.1%.[[/note]]
9	** [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 DA RED WUNZ GO FASTA CUZ DEY IZ RED, N' RED FINGS GO FASTA, YA GITZ!!]]
10	* '''Inverted''': Bob's car is red, and [[TheAllegedCar the slowest]].
11	* '''Subverted''': Bob's red racecar is the second fasted car on the track, after the blue one.
12	* '''Double Subverted''': But the other red cars are the fastest.
13	* '''Parodied''': Bob's racecar is not only red, but is covered with flame decals and leaves flame trails and a visible Redshift where it drives.
14	* '''Zig Zagged''': The red paint's speed-enhancing powers randomly turn on and off at the start of each race.
15	* '''Averted''': Bob's racecar is the fastest one on the track. It's also green.
16	* '''Enforced''': The rules say that the fastest car in the race must always be painted red.
17	* '''Lampshaded''': "That red car looks like it goes the fastest."
18	* '''Invoked''': Before the big race, Bob changes the color scheme of his car and paints it red.
19	* '''Exploited''': Every racer paints their car red in order to go faster.
20	* '''Defied''':
21	** The only person who doesn't paint their car red wins because now they stand out from the crowd.
22	** Bob's red racecar consistently breaks down.
23	** Bob's sense of honour prevents him from abusing red paint to beat his opponents.
24	* '''Discussed''': "We should really paint Bob's car red for the big race; everyone knows the red ones go faster."
25	* '''Conversed''':
26	** "That doesn't make sense, how can something like a paint job make things go faster?
27	** [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 SHUT IT YA GIT!!]]
28	* '''Deconstructed''': Every racer paints their car red in order to go faster.
29	* '''Reconstructed''': In response, the racetracks are constructed with many more corners than before. Only skilled drivers can take advantage of the speed boost of red paint without totaling their car.
