pirate red is a very specific, yet fictional shade of red that Archie believes will give anything painted with that colour supernatural speed. Pirate red is featured predominantly within the world of his pirate adventure series Captain Flubberbeard's Tails of the Red Boat and within that series of short stories, only the lead character, Captain Flubberbeard and his crew know the secret to mixing the exclusive and magical "pirates only" colour. The famous Red Boat featured in the series is painted pirate red and is by far the fastest ship in that world. As described in the first adventure of the series, the more coats of pirate red that are applied to a vehicle, the faster it will be capable of travelling. Even in the real world, Archie firmly believes that anything red in colour is faster than the same item in any other colour. He wears a pirate red collar and is certain that because of that, he is the fastest gentleman puppy alive.
"Everything is faster when it is Pirate Red!!"
