Basic Trope: A character goes monochrome from shock.
- Straight: Alice sees Bob cheating on her with Claire. She turns completely white.
- Exaggerated: Alice turns white because Bob touched her slightly Jump Scare-like, which caused her to get a big surpised.
- Downplayed: Alice turns whiter, though not completely.
- Justified: ???
- Inverted:
- Alice turns completely white when she listens to calming music.
- Alice is normally completely white, but when she sees Bob cheating on her, she turns polychrome.
- Alice, normally completely white, turns polychrome when she listens to calming music.
- Enforced: the colorists don't have the budget to make paled mixes of Alice's regular palette colors, but they already have a decent amount of grays ready.
