Generally, {{color|red| bright}} {{color|blue| colors}} are used to create a jolly atmosphere or to show a character's extrovert personality. However, sometimes they can hide an unexpected threat. And you may notice it only when it's too late. Why? Probably because you were distracted by all those {{color|yellow| vivid}} {{color|coral| colors}}.

{{examples}}
 
== Anime and Manga ==
* The last two episodes of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' are a complete psychological breakdown (and recovery!) which feature the most desaturated, brightest colors in the series at many parts.
Line 32 ⟶ 30:
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic]](1978 TV series)|the original ''Battlestar Galactica'']] the Cylons wear (or are made of) bright shiny armor.
* The Daleks in ''Series/[[Doctor Who]]'' show this trope in their most recent forms.
 
== Literature ==
Line 39 ⟶ 37:
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* The tabletop game ''[[Polaris]]'' is practically built around this trope, as it deals with a perfect civilization under the stars whose destruction is heralded by the appearance of the sun. The dawn's first appearance is described in the gamebook: "Light coming up from the edge of the sky, colors {{color|red| redder}} than stars, new shades that had never been seen, {{color|yellow| yellow}} and {{color|green| green}} and {{color|gold| golden}} through the icicle walls, burning out the stars from the sky, brilliant and impossible and beautiful and alien."
* Followers of Slaanesh (Chaos god of hedonism and excess) in ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' are [[Sense Freak]]s who wear hideously garish clothing and choking perfumes at all times, being so blasé it's the only way they can feel anything. One Chaos [[Space Marine]] Legion devoted to Slaanesh wears {{color|pink| pink}} and black armor for the same reason.
