Line #1 Sandbox/ColorTropesCleanup


1	Sandbox for the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15985879240A07792700 Color Tropes Cleanup]] thread. Tropes about colors often have the same problems as PersonalAppearanceTropes, namely a tendency to attract {{Administrivia/Zero Context Example}}s and misuse for any appearance of a color in a certain context. See also Sandbox.AppearanceTropesCleanup.

5	[[folder:Tropes with possible issues]]
6	* AllYourColorsCombined: Examples do not mention rainbow power.
7	* BigRedButton: Usually red.
8	* BigRedDevil
9	* BringMyRedJacket: Often just military uniforms that are red.
10	* BlueWithShock: Examples do not adequately explain that characters get frightened.
11	%%* CheeryPink %%Seems pretty well-defined; what's the problem?
12	* ColorFailure: ZCE problem, sometimes confused with DeliberatelyMonochrome.
13	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: [=ZCEs=] are rare, but it looks like it needs splitting by meaning (e.g. BMovie horror, [[MonochromePast flashbacks and historical settings]], color does not exist, etc.).
14	* EmeraldPower: [=ZCEs=], confusion with SupernaturalIsGreen.
15	* FireIsRed: Has lots of off-page examples, despite Administrivia/NoStraightExamplesPlease
16	* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Examples are often "This lady wears/has worn purple."
17	* GreenAndMean: Often used as "X is a villain and is green".
18	* HeavenlyBlue: Some examples simply associate blue with magic, without explaining the connection to good/{{Heaven}}.
19	* InnocentBlueEyes: The "innocence" part of the trope is often poorly explained or simply stated without explanation.
20	* LadyInRed: Often just "This lady wears/has worn red."
21	* OrangeBlueContrast: Chairs usage?
22	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Used for anything pink connected to a girl when there's anything blue connected to a boy
23	* PinkMeansFeminine: Examples are often "This girl wears/has worn pink."
24	* PinkProductPloy
25	* PrimaryColorChampion: Examples do not explain why a character with this color scheme is good or a protagonist. Some examples are shoehorned.
26	* PrincessesPreferPink: Many entries mention characters without mentioning the color pink.
27	* PurpleIsPowerful
28	* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: Examples don't explain connection to black or darkness.
29	* RainbowLite: Possibly used too broadly.
30	* RainbowMotif: Lists rainbow-colored things without explaining the significance.
31	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver
32	* RedAndWhiteComedyPoster: Almost ''every'' item on the page is zero context. Offpage, it's less of a problem, but still a problem nonetheless. It's unclear if this is even truly a trope.
33	* RedArmbandOfLeadership: Often just "X wears a red armband."
34	* RedFilterOfDoom does a decent job for most entries, but there's the occasional ZCE.

37	* RedGreenContrast
38	* RedIsViolent
39	* RedOnesGoFaster: Some examples mention red things that are fast, but not that they are faster than things in other colors.
40	* RedSkyTakeWarning
41	* RoseHairedSweetie: Examples do not mention pink hair
42	* SecondaryColorNemesis: Examples do not explain why a character with this color scheme is evil or an antagonist.

44	* SupernaturalIsGreen: Poorly explained supernatural affiliations, misused for green aliens.
45	* UnnaturallyBlueLighting: ZCE magnet, failing to explain how the lighting carries an eerie atmosphere.
46	* WaterIsBlue: Often used in a Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs manner in wicks, which is why it is Administrivia/NoStraightExamplesPlease.
47	* WindIsGreen
48	* YellowLightningBlueLightning: Not all examples adequately mention electricity or lightning.
49	* YellowPurpleContrast
