Pairing (English: Coupling, Japanese: カップリング), referred to as CP, represents the character pairing relationship.

The original meaning refers to the matching of fans with a romantic relationship. It is mainly used in the two-dimensional ACGN fan circle. In recent years, it has also begun to be widely used in other situations such as the three-dimensional.

Since ancient times, red and blue have a CP relationship, which is a summary comment on the CP relationship that often forms between characters with red and blue as the representative colors (such as hair color, clothing color, etc.) in animation works.

Although red and blue CPs have appeared in many previous anime works, this sentence was not carried forward until the pairing of Sakura Kyoko and Miki Sayaka in "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" became popular.

In fact, red and cyan (sky blue) are complementary colors on the hue wheel, and in the negative of a color photo, they are opposite colors. The two colors form a complementary relationship, which is regarded as a homotopic in different time and space in a sense (big mistake). In addition, blue and red symbolize rationality and sensibility respectively in people's eyes, and when rational people and emotional people are combined, their personalities can also form a complementary relationship. That’s why this setting appears in many anime works.

Since the "CP" in this sentence refers to CP in a broad sense, and the red and blue CPs in the lily and rose directions are more common than the red and blue CPs in the ordinary direction, netizens often use the word "CP" in this sentence. Add the sentence "either lily or gay" at the end.
