Chromatic Arrangement: Difference between revisions

** ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' uses the same color scheme for its students.

* The [[Power Trio]] of ''[[BB Senshi Sangokuden]]'': Ryuubi (blue...well, "RX-78 colored", but a lot of blue), Kanu (green), and Chouhi (red).

* ''[[Dragonball Z]]'': during the Buu saga, the saiyans that infiltrated Babidi's ship were noticeably Red (Red/Orange Goku), Blue, (Vegeta), and green (Gohan). And After Gohan's [[Clothing Damage|fight with Dabura]], he was wearing all black.

* All ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' merchandise, including the special edition DVDs, was color-coded by film. Fellowship was green, Two Towers was red, and Return of the King was blue.

* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'': Buzz's voice buttons are in this arrangement.

* The three dresses [[Mulan]] wore in her film are actually colored like this. In order of appearance, her first dress (also her default outfit, barring her training uniform and battle armor) is mostly green ,<ref> Technically, it's a multicolored dress composing of a light green bodice and sleeves (the collar is a darker shade of green), a blue corset, a red sash, and a light yellow skirt</ref>, her second dress (worn by her during her failed visit with the Matchmaker) is mostly pink ,<ref> Technically, it's actually a dress made up of different shades of pink, which composes of a light blue undershirt, a light pink bodice and sleeves, a blue corset, a pink sash, a dark pink overskirt, and a pale pink underskirt</ref>, and her third and last dress (worn by her during the final battle against Shan Yu) is mostly blue .<ref> Technically, it's a dress made up of different shades of blue, which composes of a dark blue bodice and overskirt with red outlines, light blue sleeves, a pale blue underskirt, and a pink sash</ref>.

* The ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' derivative ''[[Dragonlance]]'' fantasy series employs this trope in a rather bizarre (but amusing) manner. The cover art color schemes of trilogies written by primary authors Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis are always red for the first book, blue for the second book, and green for the third. Individual books and series of books written by other authors, set in the same world, are immune to this trope. This made sense in the first trilogy in that Red=Autumn, Blue=Winter, and Green=Spring.

== [[Live -Action TV]] ==

* The Babylon stations themselves in ''[[Babylon 5]]'', with the eponymous B5 blue, Babylon 4 green, and the original Babylon station red. The other two stations were never shown onscreen, so it remains unclear what their colors arewere.

* ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' used this, believe it or not - Science blue, Engineering red, and Command green. Due to color technology of the time, the "green" showed up as the famous "Command gold" on television, and so it has been remembered ever since, but a relic of this can be seen both in Kirk's famous [http://tos.trekcore.com/hd/albums/1x02hd/charliexhd002.jpg wraparound shirt] and in TOS-era [https://web.archive.org/web/20150511030219/http://img2.tfd.com/wiki/7/79/KirkDressUniform.jpg dress uniforms] (a la the episode "[[Star Trek/Recap/S1/E20 Court Martial|Court Martial]]").

** ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' and later series picked this back up (although several flashbacks indicate it as a recent development, with Picard wearing the red uniform of the TOS movies in his own cadet days) but with Red designated for command and Gold for engineering and security.

** ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]'' moved into a more subtle use, with most of the uniform in black and/or grey and the shoulders and neck in color to designate the specialty. Most fans have agreed this looks less silly than the uniforms of TOS or Next Gen, but still keeps the beloved color coding intact.

* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' is another franchise that embraces it. Its pantheon is composed of three goddesses represented by the three colors, and the [[Plot Coupons]] (and often other items) that you have to find are always either only these colors or you have to find these colors first. Din, goddess of power, is red and representative of Ganon, the [[Big Bad]]. Farore, goddess of courage, is green and representative of Link, the [[Heroic Mime|protagonist]]. Nayru, goddess of wisdom, is blue and representative of Zelda, princess of Hyrule and [[Damsel in Distress]]. Originally, green--thegreen—the Triforce of Courage--wasCourage—was not included in the game. It could be argued they originally represented [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] first.

** In ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'' (one), other than randomly assigned team colors, Zerg were purple-brownish, Terrans were silvery chrome, and Protoss were golden.

* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20180523111330/http://www.transstellar.llamaslap.com/ TransStellar]'' does this in its second issue, with Jamen having a red coat and a leading personality, Dari having blue skin and probably the highest IQ in the cast, and Zartes usually wearing green camo-pants and having an obsession with food. This troper, being the author of Transstellar, was surprised, as he did that without being consciously aware of this trope.

* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup -- alwaysButtercup—always in that order. Pink, sky-blue, and neon-green, respectively.

** Their [[Spear Counterpart|Spear Counterparts]]s are blood-red, ocean-blue, and emerald-green.

** Also applies to their [[Distaff Counterpart|Distaff Counterparts]]s Britney (red/pink), Jeanette (blue/purple), and Eleanor (green).

* ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'': Huey (red), Dewey (blue), and Louie (green).

* Speaking of additive color (we were, way back at the beginning), when TV first went to color, red-green-blue [[Vanity Plate|network idents]] popped up ''everywhere''. It helped that there were so many [[NBC|networks]] [[CBS|with]] [[ABCAmerican Broadcasting Company|three]]-[[The BBC|letter]] [[ITV|names]]. Oddly enough, [[PBS|NET]]'s logo was red-yellow-blue (although this is hard to tell from the surviving copies on YouTube).
