Basic Trope: In a work characters/objects involved with an element are color-coded by the element.
- Straight Trope: In Tales of Troperia, fire-user Alice wears a red outfit, has a red fire staff, uses red potions, and the fire-based enemies are red.
- Exaggerated: Everything Alice touches turns the exact same shade of red.
- Downplayed: All fire-related characters and objects are red, but not one set shade.
- Justified: Alice belongs to a magical organization that color-codes everything fire red for their convenience.
- Inverted: All elements have the same color.
- Subverted: A baddie shoots fire but is green...
- Double subverted: Until you punch it and it turns red.
- Parodied: Alice carries red food coloring around with her so everything she eats can be red too.
- Zigzagged: Alice's fire outfit is red, but fire shooting baddies are many colors.
- Averted: Nothing is color coded.
- Enforced: The show is merchandise driven; each character has a different element and color to make their action figures stand out.
- Lampshaded: Do you have it in red?
- Invoked: When she discovers she has fire powers, Alice decks herself out in red.
- Exploited: The Five-Man Band sees a bunch of red monsters, and sends out Bob, a water elementalist, in front.
- Defied: Alice wears blue.
- Discussed: Do you just wear red so everybody knows you have fire powers? I mean that just seems so stereotypical.
- Conversed: ???
