Go To

Basic Trope: Someone who has red hair and wears green clothes (or is otherwise associated with the color green).

  • Straight: Alice has red hair, and also wears a lot of green.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Alice has bright red hair, and all of the clothing she owns is green.
    • Every redhead in the work also wears green.
  • Downplayed:
    • Alice only has a fairly prominent green accessory.
    • Alice's hair is more of a brown or orange than red.
    • Alice dyed her hair red.
    • Alice has red hair, and tends to wear greenish-blue clothing.
  • Justified:
    • Alice also has plant-related abilities or is otherwise connected with nature, making it understandable as to why she'd dress in green.
    • Alice thinks the colors red and green go well together since they're complementary colors.
    • Alice is Irish; Ireland is commonly associated with the color green, and she follows the Phenotype Stereotype of Irish people having red hair.
    • Alice is dressing as a leprechaun (or she is a leprechaun).
    • Alice happens to have red hair, and she's wearing green because it's St. Patrick's Day.
  • Inverted:
    • Alice has green hair and wears red clothes.
    • Alice has red hair, and has never once considered wearing green in her life.
  • Subverted: Alice is introduced wearing a green outfit, but this was a case of Early-Installment Weirdness.
  • Double Subverted: However, she later returns to wearing green.
  • Parodied: Alice has red hair and is green.
  • Zig-Zagged: Alice has an Unlimited Wardrobe. Some of the items she wears are green, and some of them aren't. Even more confusingly, Alice's hair isn't always red.
  • Averted: Alice doesn't have red hair, and also doesn't wear green.
  • Enforced: To add for a red/green contrast.
  • Lampshaded: "I think Alice's green outfit really matches her red hair."
  • Invoked: Alice dyes her hair red and then decides to wear green clothing.
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Alice decides not to wear green.
  • Discussed: "Damnit, Alice, do you have to wear green every single day?" "Sue me, I have red hair!"
  • Conversed: "I wonder why fictional redheads almost always wear green." "I don't blame them. If I had red hair, I'd probably wear green too."
  • Implied: Alice has red hair, and some of the clothes in her closet are green.
  • Played for Laughs: A drunked Bob sees redheaded Alice in green and mistakes her for a leprechaun.
