In many works where elements or tactics have an unequal relationship with one another, the comparisons among them are Color-Coded for Your Convenience. The most frequent setup is Red > Green > Blue > Red. Though, like the page image, Green may swap with Yellow.
Because Elemental Powers often have specific colors associated with them, Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors may also apply.
Video games are where this trope is most common, though it is not unheard of in other media or even real life.

Some of the Fire Emblem games (i.e. Fates, Heroes, and Engage) have the same weapon triangle as most other Fire Emblem games. Unlike most of them, they also color-code Swords red, Axes green, and Lances blue. Fates also adds the other weapon types to the weapon triangle: Spells (red), Bows (green), and Daggers (blue).

Dislyte: There are four elements in the game that an Esper can have that forms a Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanic and they each have their own color. Flow (purple) beats Inferno (orange), which beats Wind (teal), which in turn beats Flow. Shimmer (a gradient of neon purple, blue, and green) takes and receives neutral damage from the other elements.

Spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are color-coded Attack (red), Throw (green), Defense (blue), or Neutral (purple). The first three are strong or weak against each other in the usual red > green > blue > red order. The last one is, appropiately, neutral to everything.

Dinosaur King: Being the More Popular Spin Off of Kouchuu Ouja Mushiking, not only does the Rock-Paper-Scissors style gameplay carry over (Rock (Red) beats Scissors (Yellow) which beats Paper (Blue) which beats Rock), but it also introduces six elemental types (Lightning (Yellow), Wind (Blue-Grey), Grass (Green), Fire (Red), Water (Blue) and Earth (Purple)) for each dinosaur type note (Ceratopsians are Lightning types, Small and Medium Theropods are Wind types, Ornithopods are Grass types, Large Theropods are Fire types, Sauropods and Spinosaurid Theropods are Water types and Thyreophorans are Earth types), with their own strengths and weaknesses (Lightning beats Water, Water beats Fire, Fire beats Wind, Wind beats Grass, Grass beats Earth, Earth beats Lightning).

Dynasty Warriors 8 featured an unusual selection of elements for its weapons. While you could still have fire, ice, etc. for special elemental weapon skills, each weapon had an affinity: Man, Earth, and Heaven. Man, in red, overcomes Heaven, blue, which in turn beats Earth, green. Earth defeats Man, and the cycle continues. Having affinity advantage against enemy officers meant causing more flinching and extra critical damage to them, while having an affinity disadvantage meant taking more damage and having your blocks broken more often.

Honkai Impact 3rd started out with three character types, Biological (yellow-orange) beating Psychic (light purple) beating Mecha (light blue) beating Biological. Two further types were later added, Quantum (dark purple) and Imaginary (gold-tinged silver) which beat their own, were weak against each other, and had no advantage over the other types.

Jump Super Stars has each character and assist koma assigned one of 3 types. Power (red), which beats Intelligence (blue), which beats Gag (yellow). If you're weak to a type, you take more damage from them and deal less yourself. Certain komas, when upgraded, will change their type.

Every Pokémon game starts with the player choosing one of three starter Pokémon, which have this relationship to each other and overlap neatly with Color-Coded Elements and Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Fire (red) beats Grass (green) beats Water (blue) beats Fire. Due to the franchise's popularity, this heuristic may be the Trope Codifier in general.

The game would later add the Light (yellow) and Dark (purple) attributes, which, when paired with the three base attributes, allow for more damage dealt against advantageous attributes with Light or disadvantageous attributes with Dark.

Gundam Breaker Mobile has red-marked Power builds doing more damage to green-marked Technique builds, which do more damage to blue-mark Speed builds. Speed builds do bonus damage to Power builds, and certain Non-Elemental 'balanced' builds neither gain bonuses from nor suffer drawbacks from this system. As many Gunpla parts reward a specific build type, the typeless builds are extremely uncommon.
