3!!This Webcomic Includes Examples Of:
4* ActionPrologue: The comic [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-1/ opens]] with Violet plummeting through the sky, tossed from an airplane by a rampaging robot.
5* ArtEvolution: The comic [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-1/ started]] drawn on paper and coloured with marker, then switched to digital in [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-28/ Episode 1.]] Also compare the art in the previous link to the art at the beginning of [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-87/ Episode 2.]]
6* CasualDangerDialogue: While avoiding death by giant robot, [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-13/ Violet takes a call from her dad.]]
7* ColourfulThemeNaming: All the named characters so far are named after their color scheme. Some are more blatant than others.
8* FillerStrips: Come up from time to time as the author tries to balance creating a buffer and having a life. Fillers usually depict the day-to-day lives of the author, "Phillr Kitty" (aka Phil, a mildly psycho creature raised by WebOriginal/LOLCats), and the [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] silhouette of an as-yet-unintroduced main character. Once a regular page goes up, fillers are moved to the [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/gallery/ Extras page.]]
9* HaveYouTriedRebooting: [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-47/ Yes, I ''have'' tried turning it off and on again.]]
10* ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-8/ Why Red gave the robot lasers.]]
11* MayorPain: Albus Ivory is an interesting mix of the Evil and Incompetent variants. He enacts crazy plans to take over the city, even though he's already the mayor; these plans are ridiculous, ineffectual, overly complex, easily thwarted, and cause massive damage to the city. And in one case, [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-42/ possibly every city on the coastline.]]
12* MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-8/ "You know how the city's name is 'New Chroma'? He's what happened to the old one."]]
13%%* MundaneFantastic
14* NoodleImplements: Red's [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-9/ plan]] for taking out his rampaging robots involves Tic-Tacs, a vacuum, and Tae Kwon-Do. Though [[AltText Aikido would work just as well. Or a mouse with a spoon.]]
15* QuirkyTown: In New Chroma, the extraordinary is ordinary and the once-in-a-lifetime happens once a day. The populace has become somewhat immune... [[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-26/ those who aren't part of the problem, at least.]]
16%%* ScienceFantasy
17* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: '''[[http://colourwheelcomic.com/comic/page-43/ NOT A BASE]]''' NOTHING INTERESTING THROUGH HERE WHATSOEVER. ("That sign was a ''complete'' waste of money.")
18* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: All over the place.
19** To some people's exasperation:
20-->'''Minion:''' OH COME ON! Seriously? I've got freaking ''horns'' coming out of my head here, and neither of you has a response to that?\
21'''Red:''' You're hiding in a sewer tunnel and ambushing people with trading cards.\
22'''Melanie:''' Horns are no longer exciting at this point.\
23'''Minion:''' You people suck.\
