My health potions are green and poisons are red

except the ones made from potatoes and cheese, those are just soup

Looking at you, “Dragon Age” Veilguard.

If you don’t think soup is addicting, you haven’t had soup.

Daggerfall!

How about this food is poison and snake bites heal?

Electricity is yellow.
Blue would be water.What game would actually use blue?
Crackly blue is water? I’d even think ice before water.

I hate dragons. Controversial take but like just come up with some other mystical creatures! have some fun with it! if rather interact with a pink unicorn plushie than fight another dragon

Similarly to how paprika chips come in blue bags and salted chips come in red bags. Anything else is heresy. Unless you live right across the border, where it’s exactly the opposite.

My health potions are red, also, pulp free is not an option. >:)

Still heals HP. Definitely a health soup.

Blue-white lightning icons/symbols are quite common, I would think.
Slay the Spire comes to mind:
Then again, there are some yellow ones, too:
-
I used yellow for health to avoid red/green colourblind issues

It’s true.
Rules are meant to be broken - apart from when they aren’t.
You can change any aspect of the world any way you like, but only if doing that is critical to your universe and story.
Messing up without reason conventions that are well established is a dick move, unless the whole point of your work is to screw with people.
Also you need to consistently break conventions once you do it or you really screw with people and make a shitty world.

Big glowy green area? Could be a healing aura, could be poison. Good luck!
Purple: Magic??
Green: Life/death??
Red: Life/fire??
Blue: Magic/cold??
Honestly the only colour I don’t feel uncertain about is orange, that’s always bad.
Also on the topic of health potions, a great piece of advice I once heard was that if your players are in a foreign land, remove health potions. Give them health biscuits and watch them reconcile with God.

The pulp is from fruit, right? The pulp is from fruit, right!?

Nethack (and derivatives) is pretty much the only game I know of where the health potions may or may not be red.
And I guess Dark Souls… It’s more of an orange than a red. But maybe that’s just the color of the flask. Idk what the substance inside looks like.

Bright red barrel of aircraft grade fuel.
Shoot it.
Spawns a leak.
//FPS players mind’s implode//
Toss a lighted match into the growing puddle.
Match goes out.

Why should your fantasy game be limited by something like “health”. Whether you die should be based on vibes.

And yellow means, uh, holy light, or something.
I ain’t played no Overwatch, but I all but guarantee that’s what it is.Idk, he’s a Brazilian roller-blading sports-loving DJ…
I think most likely scenario is he was green and yellow based on the Brazilian flag, green means “go”, and there was only one other color left for “heal”, so it’s yellow.

FFXIV the stack markers are close to orange… and long time ago it had Bard having a fire circle that damaged enemies but not allies, yet the tanks thought it was bad and would drag enemies out of it. Probably why they removed that one.
