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. |
35 | * RedheadInGreen |
36 | * RedIsHeroic: Examples do not explain why they are heroes or why red is significant. |
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. |
43 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Just people with green eyes and red hair, or outright [=ZCEs=]. |
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 |
50 | [[/folder]] |

55 | * GoodColorsEvilColors (per [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1559182913085289900&page=1 TRS]]): Cleanup, trim description, and [[Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease ban Real Life examples]]. |
