* The trope's title refers to the [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue first generation]] ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games where the player starts out in [[PunnyName Pallet]] Town, and travels to other cities each [[ColorfulThemeNaming named after a distinctive color]]. Provided you had a UsefulNotes/SuperGameBoy accessory for the SNES or a UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor, the color of the town becomes the palette scheme (so Saffron City looks very yellow, Cinnabar Island is red, and so forth). The second generation of games' cities were similarly colored, though they were named after plants rather than colors in English (though most of those plants have colours in their names).

So there's a place. And it only has one color. [[UsefulNotes/PowersOfTwoMinusOne Not sixty four, not thirty two, not four]], just the one color. It's everywhere. And you can't run away from it. Everywhere you go, the people will wear clothes and have hair that reflect this color scheme and no other. They must ''really'' like it.

* The Tamaranians in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' are a race of {{Dark Skinned Redhead}}s who all, with the odd exception of Blackfire, dress in semi-revealing purple and silver clothing. Most of the planet's landscape seems to come in shades of purple and orange as well.

* Bath, in England. Pretty much every building in the city centre (I haven't checked them all) is made from a distinctive golden-beige stone called Bath Stone, or at least made with a similar coloured stone to maintain the effect -- the best example being the new shopping centre, which was only allowed to be built in that colour. The effect from the top of the hill looking down is striking to say the least.

* ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars'' (at least before it got DarkerAndEdgier) used this color scheme to help distinguish between different nations. It still does in Days Of Ruin, but it's not as clear-cut anymore. Red and Yellow both belong to the same nation, with the two colours representing two sides of a civil war, while Black is used for various groups not directly connected to a nation.
* The Happy Happy Village in ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' is covered and continually repainted in blue by the town when it is under the influence of the insane Happy Happy cult, which worships the colour blue. [[ExaggeratedTrope Even the livestock get painted blue]]. When the cult's leader is defeated, the town reverts to its normal colour scheme.
