Basic Trope: A location that is bright and/or full of color.
- Straight: The heroes journey through a rainbow-sand desert.
- Exaggerated: Everywhere has eye-jarringly bright colors, with hues and tones of all kinds.
- Downplayed: A forest has every leaf unrealistically green (or orange/red/yellow in fall), but everything else looks normal.
- Justified: The brightly colored area is tropical ecosystem with high bio-diversity.
- Inverted: The characters are multi-colored, but the environment is gray.
- Subverted: A character goes through a rainbow portal, into... a grey world.
- Double Subverted: ...except only that one spot was grey; everywhere else is still brilliantly colored.
- Parodied: Characters regularly go blind from looking at the scenery.
- Zig Zagged: Alice goes through a technicolor portal, into a brightly colored world. But she realizes she's wearing colored goggles! When she takes them off, everything seems dull... for a few moments, until her eyes adjust, and she realized that everything is still more colorfull than real life. Then she gets chased a few hundred feet by an Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever, and realizes that only that one spot is technicolor. But she liked the colors so much that she decides to get out a paint bucket and start painting the rest of the world!
- Averted:
- The environments have very few colors.
- Real Is Brown.
- Enforced:
- "This show is for kids. Make it colorful!"
- The creators, executives, artists, or what have you want to give the setting a fun and out-going feel to it.
- Lampshaded: "This place looks just like my crayon box."
- Invoked: The world is colorless, but the heroes grab some paint and start painting everything.
- Exploited: "Oh, there's an enemy! I can tell because it's brown!"
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
