Line 41: == Literature == * In ''[[Ethan Frome]]'', the color gray is associated with Ethan's wife Zeena, a cold, apathetic woman, while the color red is associated with Mattie, a lively, younger woman that Ethan falls for. * In ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', all the noble houses [[~~Colour~~Color-Coded for Your Convenience\|throw their heraldic colours around]] every chance they get. The major players at the beginning of the series are the grim, dour, "[[Meaningful Name\|stark]]" Starks whose colours are grey and white, and the rich, opulent Lannisters whose colours are red and gold (which contrast plays into the whole "ice and fire" motif as well). * There's color symbolism throughout ''[[The Great Gatsby]]'', associating white with purity and yellow with corruption, such with the girls with yellow dresses at Gatsby's party. As for his eternal love Daisy, what kind of flower is white on the outside but yellow on the inside? * The author Chuck Palahnuik uses a recurring motif of cornflower blue throughout his novels, for example, the colour of the tie and eyes of the narrator's boss in [[Fight Club]]. * Green is used in ''[[The Go -Between]]'' to symbolise Leo's naivety. * Red is used to symbolize chaos in ''[[The Kane Chronicles]]'', similar to [[Egyptian Mythology]] that it was based off from. == Live-Action TV == * The ''[[CSI]]'' franchise is known for this. The original ''CSI'' has a lot of brown that evokes the desert setting of Las Vegas. ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' has a lot of orange and yellow to evoke the bright, sunny semi-tropics of Miami. ''[[CSI: NY]]'' has blues and grays to evoke the gritty nature of the big city. * In ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' red usually turns up suggesting danger and sexuality, most obviously in the curtains of One Eyed Jacks and the Black Lodge. * Early ''[[Smallville]]'' episodes also liked to use primary colours for anything related to Clark Kent, hinting at his future as Superman. Line 59: However, the PSP remake had a blue motif when using the male main character, and pink when using the female main character. ''[[Persona 4]]'' used a bright yellow motif, indicating how upbeat this game was in comparison to other [[Shin Megami Tensei]] games. ** ''[[Persona 5]]'' is [[Red and Black and Evil All Over]]. It's quite [[Darker and Edgier]] compared to the last game. Line 67 ⟶ 68: [[Category:Motifs]] [[Category:Amazing Technicolor Index]] [[Category:~~Color Motif~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
