* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', Finn and Susan Strong are the only humanoid characters with anything resembling a realistic skin tone. The Ice King is blue, Marceline is grey, Princess Bubblegum is bright pink, and all the other humanoid characters (such as the bikini girls from "Shhh") have blatantly unrealistic skin colors.
* ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'': In addition to the blue Genie from the original film, the female genie Eden is green.
* ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'' featured people in black-and-white with oddly toned clip-art faces. Everyone had grey skin, and their hair and clothing would be in color.
* Dr. Gangreen has green skin in the ''Film/AttackOfTheKillerTomatoes'' animated series.
* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'': The series has most of the characters' skins as individually multicolored, with the main characters, the Greens, being yellow like ''The Simpsons''. Recurring character Gloria is meant to be Japanese-American but has bluish-purple skin, while Cricket's BlackAndNerdy friend Remy stands out as having normal African-American skin color. Virtually all other characters have varying shades of blue, purple, pink, orange, and green skin.
* [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] in ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' featuring both normal flesh-colored humans, and pastel-colored ones, like Mung Daal who is blue, and Endive who is orange ([[AmbiguouslyHuman that is, assuming they ARE human]]).
* It's quite common for humans in ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' to have green or grey skin.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCrampTwins''. Lucian has "normal" flesh-toned skin, but his brother Wayne is ''purple''-skinned. Must be fraternal twins... However, [[MindScrew both their parents have green and yellow skin respectively]].
* On ''WesternAnimation/CreativeGalaxy'', Arty and his family are all green-skinned. Arty's friend Juju is a light purple while his friend Jackson is a light blue and his friend Annie is pink.
* ''Cupido'' is set in a town with white (as in snow-colored), red, blue, and yellow people, who are divided into ghettos by an evil council. The [[ProtagonistTitle titular character]] and his two friends are the only characters with realistic skin colors.
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': Many ghosts have blue, gray, green, purple, or white skin colors/tones.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TheDickTracyShow'', Pruneface has purple skin and Oodles has light blue skin. Joe Jitsu, belying his Oriental lineage, is plain white as are villains Mumbles, Sketch Paree and Itchy.
* WesternAnimation/{{Doug}} and his family are just about the only "flesh tone" people aside from Mr. Bone, Roger's cronies, and Mayor White -- indeed, the most common skin tone in the ''Doug'' universe seems to be ''purple''. For instance, Roger is green, Chalky is yellow, and Bebe and Mr. Dink are purple. Interestingly, Doug's crush, Patty Mayonnaise, is a dark-skinned blond. Since Skeeter is blue (more like a dark teal, really), the prevalence of the TokenBlackFriend trope causes many to assume that blue is the equivalent of black in that world. This is explained by the creator in a bonus feature from TheMovie's VHS release. When first drawing the main cast (as a child!) he often lacked flesh tone, and therefore substituted other common colors for other characters' skins.
-->'''Judy:''' ''[talking about Roger]'' [[LampshadeHanging Is he the blue one?]]\\
'''Doug:''' That's Skeeter!
* Ed in ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' has yellow skin, making him the only kid to have abnormal human skin color. This is quite possibly due to his poor hygiene since his sister Sarah has normal human skin color.
* Frida Suarez in ''WesternAnimation/ElTigre'' has bright yellow skin despite most other human characters having ordinary, well, human-colored skin or various range.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', Francis the bully is gray. This is justified during an episode where Timmy wishes he wasn't born; in the alternate universe Jorgen shows him, Francis isn't a bully and is shown with tanned skin due to him being out in the sun a lot as he turned his violent feelings into football instead of bullying. How does Timmy existing or not factor into this change is never explained.
* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}'', series BigBad Venomous Drool possesses green skin despite most other other Skullbanians having tan to brown skin. [[spoiler:In "The Breaker of Oaths", it's revealed he was born this way, which got him exiled as an infant by his tribe and became his StartOfDarkness.]]
* An episode of ''[[WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids Fat Albert]]'' had the kids watch an episode of ''The Brown Hornet'' that dealt with a conflict between green and orange aliens.
* Matt Groening's other show, ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' finally made a joke about how the Simpsons are yellow and they're not, in an episode where Fry gets "Simpsons jaundice".
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'':
** The gargoyles have skin in just about any color. It's genetic, like hair or eye color.
** [[TheFairFolk The Children of Oberon]] who [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm look more human]] usually have normal skintones; they've [[AllMythsAreTrue inspired myths from many cultures]], so we get many races represented. Oberon and Titania themselves, however, are respecitvely light blue and green.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheHollow'': The Weird Guy a thin man with blue skin and dark hair that has been dyed bright orange and yellow resembling flame. He wears a black and white striped shirt, a red jacket, a cyan scarf, dark navy skinny jeans, black formal shoes, and dark red sunglasses.
* ''WesternAnimation/HotRodDogsAndCoolCarCats'': Cats and dogs come in a variety of colors.
* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'': For some unexplained reason, Ratso has green skin.
* In ''WesternAnimation/JeanLucAndDondoozat'', Jean-Luc is dark green, while Dondoozat is orange.
* In ''WesternAnimation/JellyJamm'', everyone on planet Jammbo is this.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
** Drakken, whose blue skin is ''incessantly'' lampshaded, and they [[NoodleIncident constantly imply that there's a horrifically fascinating story]] behind his blue skin. In TheTag of the GrandFinale, he's about to tell said story when the ''series'' [[TheUnreveal cuts out]]. "I remember it was a Tuesday--" *click*.
** And Ron turns blue when he briefly [[NotHimself goes evil]] in the episode "Bad Boy", with Drakken reverting to his original Caucasian tone (since it was Drakken's evil that was inadvertently transferred into Ron). In "Stop Team Go", though, he doesn't change color when zapped by the same device, since it's been modified by Electronique (herself an example of this trope, being light grey) to flip a person's moral polarity, instead of extracting their good and evil sides.
** Shego, as well as her brothers in Team Go, whose skin tones are pale shades of their [[PowerGlows superpower "glows"]] and corresponding costumes (Shego = green; Mego = purple; the Wego twins = red). Except Hego, who (despite having a blue "glow") retains his normal Caucasian skin tone ([[PowerDyesYourHair however, his hair becomes dark blue instead of its usual black when he switches to his superhero identity)]].
* ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'':
** {{Subverted}}. While the original webcomic it was based on utilizes this trope, the animated series has Kipo be the only human to display this, giving her a purple skin-tone that goes unmentioned by other characters. [[spoiler:This was done to foreshadow that she [[BioAugmentation wasn't a normal human.]]]]
** Mandu is also an odd example of this within the show's universe, being a blue pig when every other mutant (sapient or otherwise) has skin or fur colours that are normal for their species.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MakingFiends'', everyone is a single unnatural color, not just the skin, but the hair, eyes, clothes, etc. are all one flat color. Most minor characters in the webisodes were grey or dull in shade, although the TV series makes them all [[AdaptationDyeJob more vivid]]. Lampshaded pretty much every episode as [[VillainProtagonist Vendetta]] always calls [[TooDumbToLive Charlotte]] [[FantasticRacism "Stupid blue girl!"]]
* The babies of the titular trio from ''WesternAnimation/MegaBabies'' who each have an unusual skin color. Meg has pink skin, Buck has blue skin, and Derrick has yellow skin.
* Most of the villains in ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' have different coloured skin, to the point where it's easier to count the ones that don't. [[spoiler: Mayura]] is an odd example because instead of being Akumatized like the other villains, she's actually [[spoiler: using the Peacock Miraculous]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MisterGo'' is completely red, which is pretty weird given that most of the other human characters look fairly normal compared to him.
* On ''WesternAnimation/MovilleMysteries'', pretty much everyone on the show has an unusual skin tone. Among the main cast, Mo himself is blue, while his friends Mimi and Hitch are pink and yellow respectively, and recurring ally BB is grey.
* The Greenskins of the Grassy Ocean in ''WesternAnimation/TheNeverendingStoryTheAnimatedAdventuresOfBastianBalthazarBux'' are humans with, well, green skin.
* ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' featured this in the ''Jelly's Day'' shorts, where the titular character had pastel purple skin and her cousin Hargus has yellowish-green skin.
* In addition to multicolored ghosts, the Pac-Worlders of ''WesternAnimation/PacManAndTheGhostlyAdventures'' come in all sorts of colors. This was true of the 1982 ''WesternAnimation/PacMan'' series as well.
* ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSketch'': Captain Gagtastic had green skin.
* The Gangreen Gang from ''Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls'' are exactly what color you'd expect them to be.
* Some of the background characters in ''WesternAnimation/TheProblemSolverz'' have colorful skin. The town's several mayors have had yellow and red skin, and in one episode, the gang was freaked out by a teacher who was purple.
* The Gross Sisters from ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'' are rather randomly blue, considering all the other characters are realistically colored and the series is '''all''' about [[FiveTokenBand racial diversity]]. Several episodes imply that the "blue skin" is simply the result of the girls being extremely ashy, mostly notably Penny gaining the same skin tone when she joins them. Many dark-skinned black people who have ashy skin can sometimes appear as being a light periwinkle, almost faded greyish-black in the most extreme cases. Considering that ''The Proud Family'' is a cartoon with rather colorful art direction, it could be inferred that this was one of the most blatant exaggerations for ArtisticLicense.
* All the humanoid "sprite" characters in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' have unusually colored skin. [=AndrAIa=] and Ray Tracer are borderline, since they're different shades of bright orange, a color which often results from cheap self-tanner in the real world. Enzo runs into [[FantasticRacism racial prejudice]] at the start of season three. For while Mainframers will happily accept green merchants and scientists, a green guardian is [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything apparently beyond the pale...]] Interestingly, this all suggests a kind of inherent caste system. Guardians are blue, the Matrices and probably other system-based sprites are green or purple, and web-based sprites are orange. Viruses tend to be strange-looking in general. The only character with a vaguely-human skintone is [[spoiler:Hexadecimal,]] and even then [[spoiler:she]] is stark white.
* Muscle Man from ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' has green skin. Like Murdoc, it could just be problems with hygiene.
* Etheria in ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' has a wide variety of skin tones. While most humans and humanlike creatures resemble Earth ethnicities - most of Glimmer's family save Angella are Asian-coded, Mermista is Indian-coded, Bow is black, and so on - there are a few human and humanlike entities with notable other shades: Light Spinner is an elf with dull green skin [[spoiler:which goes grey after her transformation into Shadow Weaver]]; Queen Angella is faintly purple and an immortal WingedHumanoid; Spinnerella is a very faint purple and otherwise appears human; Razz is a dull shade of literal pink; Huntara and some of the moth people in "Flutterina" are vivid purple; and Hordak is blue-grey with white patches - although he, at least, has the justification of being an alien.
* Gerald of ''WesternAnimation/SidTheScienceKid'' is pink, and not just flesh-tones pink, but the type of pink you'd find in your crayon box.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** They're ''yellow'', and the trope applies only to characters that are supposed to be Caucasian or Asian. The show creators said this was so people who were channel-flipping would stop to see if it was something wrong with their TV. The "Caucasian" characters can be called either white or yellow. Meanwhile, Southwest Asians (Arabs and Indo-Aryans) tend to be rendered "white" (which is to say, "yellow") or "Mexican brown". South Asians such as Apu Nahasapeemapetilon and Southeast Asians such as the Thai restaurant owner will be "reddish-brown" (like Native Americans). Chinese characters tend to be "white" ("yellow"), while Japanese characters are depicted either as icy pale (as if they were all wearing geisha or kabuki makeup) or "white" ("yellow"). This is made even more confusing by the fact that the show's two most prominent Latino characters, Dr. Nick Riviera and Bumblebee Man, are yellow and brown, respectively. Dr. Nick and the Bumblebee Man being both Latino and differently colored is TruthInTelevision, there's no such thing as a "[[LatinoIsBrown Latino coloration]]".
** Also {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in an episode where Abe Simpson is considering marrying Marge's mother. Homer, concerned about he and Marge potentially becoming step-siblings, worries that their children will become freaks with "pink skin, no overbites and five fingers on each hand"...flash to a brief [[UncannyValley unsettling]] (for Homer) image of the Simpson children drawn as "normal" humans.
** Krusty the Clown causes continuity errors with this trope. Depending on the episode, his unusually pale skin is either clown makeup or his natural color. However, that only seemed true in earlier seasons, and now it's implied to be due to Krusty's harsh, self-destructive lifestyle, with all his childhood flashbacks having him have normal skin.
** There were a few times where normal-colored characters appeared, albeit usually in a LawyerFriendlyCameo like the [[ComicBook/ArchieComics Archie gang.]] They did, however, have a legitimate Crossover with ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'', where Jay Sherman was yellow.
** The shorts on ''Series/TheTraceyUllmanShow'' featured background characters who were blue, grey, or orange.
* The Bioborgs, Replicon (who has blue skin) and Lazerette (who has pink skin) in ''WesternAnimation/SkysurferStrikeForce''.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967'' was notorious for the post-season one episodes phasing out Spider-Man's rogues gallery in favor of {{Filler Villain}}s, most of whom inexplicably had green skin.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarComTheUSSpaceForce'': Most of the characters have realistic skin tones, but Emperor Dark’s skin is a light shade of purple, for some reason.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
** The Gems all have skin tones which match their namesake gem; Pearl's is stark white and blushes teal, Garnet's is a deep red, Amethyst's is bright purple, and so on. None of the humans they interact with seem to find this strange, despite their own more natural tones. In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E5HitTheDiamond "Hit the Diamond"]] a group of Rubies appear on Earth, the Crystal Gems try to disguise themselves as humans, and they completely ignore the fact that they have bright blue, purple, red, etc. skin tones. Luckily, the Rubies don't really know what humans look like and they just assume humans can be technicolor.
** Although nowhere near as blatant as gems, some of the humans have slightly exaggerated skin colors. Most noticeably, Onion and his father Yellowtail have pale ''yellow'' skin.
** [[spoiler:Lars]] ends up getting pink skin like [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife Lion]] after [[spoiler:dying and being resurrected by Steven's healing tears in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E3OffColors "Off Colors]]". It's implied that the same thing happened to Lion before he became magical.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/SummerMemories'': While it's [[MagicRealism not the oddest thing in the show]], the vast majority of the cast has skin tones of various colors. Ronnie's red tone could be chalked up to him regularly tanning ([[WalkingShirtlessScene for obvious reasons]]).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'':
** The alien family from the 1973 series episode "The Balloon People" all had pale blue skin.
** ''Challenge of the Superfriends'' depicted the Flash's enemy Captain Cold has having pale blue skin, which is a jarring contrast from his comic counterpart having a normal skin tone.
* The human cast of ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'' often have colorful skin tones, such as blue, green, yellow, pink, and purple. Like ''Doug'', there are still many Caucasian characters, though. This trope, in combination with FurIsSkin and AmazingTechnicolorWildlife makes Spot the blue dog's PaperThinDisguise as the human student Scott somewhat less ridiculous.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'', the titular [[{{Catfolk}} Cats]] of Third Earth employ the principle of FurIsSkin. Panthro is pale blue-gray with black hair (a phenotype shared by {{flashback}} character Panthera, who, like Panthro, has a black voice artist). When the series reveals that more unconventional HumanoidAliens also populate Third Earth, pink, yellow, and purple-skinned creatures appear, most notably, the lavender-complexioned RubberForeheadAlien the Duelist.
* The theme song of ''WesternAnimation/ToddWorld'' is titled "It's a Colorful World", and it certainly is. The main character, Todd, is blue, two of the other main characters are yellow, and Pickle is green. This certainly extends to the [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife animals]] as well-- Todd's [[CivilizedAnimal talking dog]], Benny, is red, yellow, blue and green in different parts.
* Most characters in ''WesternAnimation/FamiliaTipo'' have yellow skin. The non-white characters are drawn in a more realistic brown color.
* ''WesternAnimation/JorelsBrother'': Granny Juju and Samantha has light green skin (the former is likely a reference to her TrademarkFavoriteFood, avocados, while the latter is supposed to make her look like an ogre), and Granny Gigi has pink skin.
* ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'': In addition to the blue Genie from the original film, the female genie Eden is green.
* ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'' featured people in black-and-white with oddly toned clip-art faces. Everyone had grey skin, and their hair and clothing would be in color.
* Dr. Gangreen has green skin in the ''Film/AttackOfTheKillerTomatoes'' animated series.
* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'': The series has most of the characters' skins as individually multicolored, with the main characters, the Greens, being yellow like ''The Simpsons''. Recurring character Gloria is meant to be Japanese-American but has bluish-purple skin, while Cricket's BlackAndNerdy friend Remy stands out as having normal African-American skin color. Virtually all other characters have varying shades of blue, purple, pink, orange, and green skin.
* [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] in ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' featuring both normal flesh-colored humans, and pastel-colored ones, like Mung Daal who is blue, and Endive who is orange ([[AmbiguouslyHuman that is, assuming they ARE human]]).
* It's quite common for humans in ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' to have green or grey skin.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCrampTwins''. Lucian has "normal" flesh-toned skin, but his brother Wayne is ''purple''-skinned. Must be fraternal twins... However, [[MindScrew both their parents have green and yellow skin respectively]].
* On ''WesternAnimation/CreativeGalaxy'', Arty and his family are all green-skinned. Arty's friend Juju is a light purple while his friend Jackson is a light blue and his friend Annie is pink.
* ''Cupido'' is set in a town with white (as in snow-colored), red, blue, and yellow people, who are divided into ghettos by an evil council. The [[ProtagonistTitle titular character]] and his two friends are the only characters with realistic skin colors.
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': Many ghosts have blue, gray, green, purple, or white skin colors/tones.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TheDickTracyShow'', Pruneface has purple skin and Oodles has light blue skin. Joe Jitsu, belying his Oriental lineage, is plain white as are villains Mumbles, Sketch Paree and Itchy.
* WesternAnimation/{{Doug}} and his family are just about the only "flesh tone" people aside from Mr. Bone, Roger's cronies, and Mayor White -- indeed, the most common skin tone in the ''Doug'' universe seems to be ''purple''. For instance, Roger is green, Chalky is yellow, and Bebe and Mr. Dink are purple. Interestingly, Doug's crush, Patty Mayonnaise, is a dark-skinned blond. Since Skeeter is blue (more like a dark teal, really), the prevalence of the TokenBlackFriend trope causes many to assume that blue is the equivalent of black in that world. This is explained by the creator in a bonus feature from TheMovie's VHS release. When first drawing the main cast (as a child!) he often lacked flesh tone, and therefore substituted other common colors for other characters' skins.
-->'''Judy:''' ''[talking about Roger]'' [[LampshadeHanging Is he the blue one?]]\\
'''Doug:''' That's Skeeter!
* Ed in ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' has yellow skin, making him the only kid to have abnormal human skin color. This is quite possibly due to his poor hygiene since his sister Sarah has normal human skin color.
* Frida Suarez in ''WesternAnimation/ElTigre'' has bright yellow skin despite most other human characters having ordinary, well, human-colored skin or various range.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', Francis the bully is gray. This is justified during an episode where Timmy wishes he wasn't born; in the alternate universe Jorgen shows him, Francis isn't a bully and is shown with tanned skin due to him being out in the sun a lot as he turned his violent feelings into football instead of bullying. How does Timmy existing or not factor into this change is never explained.
* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}'', series BigBad Venomous Drool possesses green skin despite most other other Skullbanians having tan to brown skin. [[spoiler:In "The Breaker of Oaths", it's revealed he was born this way, which got him exiled as an infant by his tribe and became his StartOfDarkness.]]
* An episode of ''[[WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids Fat Albert]]'' had the kids watch an episode of ''The Brown Hornet'' that dealt with a conflict between green and orange aliens.
* Matt Groening's other show, ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' finally made a joke about how the Simpsons are yellow and they're not, in an episode where Fry gets "Simpsons jaundice".
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'':
** The gargoyles have skin in just about any color. It's genetic, like hair or eye color.
** [[TheFairFolk The Children of Oberon]] who [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm look more human]] usually have normal skintones; they've [[AllMythsAreTrue inspired myths from many cultures]], so we get many races represented. Oberon and Titania themselves, however, are respecitvely light blue and green.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheHollow'': The Weird Guy a thin man with blue skin and dark hair that has been dyed bright orange and yellow resembling flame. He wears a black and white striped shirt, a red jacket, a cyan scarf, dark navy skinny jeans, black formal shoes, and dark red sunglasses.
* ''WesternAnimation/HotRodDogsAndCoolCarCats'': Cats and dogs come in a variety of colors.
* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'': For some unexplained reason, Ratso has green skin.
* In ''WesternAnimation/JeanLucAndDondoozat'', Jean-Luc is dark green, while Dondoozat is orange.
* In ''WesternAnimation/JellyJamm'', everyone on planet Jammbo is this.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
** Drakken, whose blue skin is ''incessantly'' lampshaded, and they [[NoodleIncident constantly imply that there's a horrifically fascinating story]] behind his blue skin. In TheTag of the GrandFinale, he's about to tell said story when the ''series'' [[TheUnreveal cuts out]]. "I remember it was a Tuesday--" *click*.
** And Ron turns blue when he briefly [[NotHimself goes evil]] in the episode "Bad Boy", with Drakken reverting to his original Caucasian tone (since it was Drakken's evil that was inadvertently transferred into Ron). In "Stop Team Go", though, he doesn't change color when zapped by the same device, since it's been modified by Electronique (herself an example of this trope, being light grey) to flip a person's moral polarity, instead of extracting their good and evil sides.
** Shego, as well as her brothers in Team Go, whose skin tones are pale shades of their [[PowerGlows superpower "glows"]] and corresponding costumes (Shego = green; Mego = purple; the Wego twins = red). Except Hego, who (despite having a blue "glow") retains his normal Caucasian skin tone ([[PowerDyesYourHair however, his hair becomes dark blue instead of its usual black when he switches to his superhero identity)]].
* ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'':
** {{Subverted}}. While the original webcomic it was based on utilizes this trope, the animated series has Kipo be the only human to display this, giving her a purple skin-tone that goes unmentioned by other characters. [[spoiler:This was done to foreshadow that she [[BioAugmentation wasn't a normal human.]]]]
** Mandu is also an odd example of this within the show's universe, being a blue pig when every other mutant (sapient or otherwise) has skin or fur colours that are normal for their species.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MakingFiends'', everyone is a single unnatural color, not just the skin, but the hair, eyes, clothes, etc. are all one flat color. Most minor characters in the webisodes were grey or dull in shade, although the TV series makes them all [[AdaptationDyeJob more vivid]]. Lampshaded pretty much every episode as [[VillainProtagonist Vendetta]] always calls [[TooDumbToLive Charlotte]] [[FantasticRacism "Stupid blue girl!"]]
* The babies of the titular trio from ''WesternAnimation/MegaBabies'' who each have an unusual skin color. Meg has pink skin, Buck has blue skin, and Derrick has yellow skin.
* Most of the villains in ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' have different coloured skin, to the point where it's easier to count the ones that don't. [[spoiler: Mayura]] is an odd example because instead of being Akumatized like the other villains, she's actually [[spoiler: using the Peacock Miraculous]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MisterGo'' is completely red, which is pretty weird given that most of the other human characters look fairly normal compared to him.
* On ''WesternAnimation/MovilleMysteries'', pretty much everyone on the show has an unusual skin tone. Among the main cast, Mo himself is blue, while his friends Mimi and Hitch are pink and yellow respectively, and recurring ally BB is grey.
* The Greenskins of the Grassy Ocean in ''WesternAnimation/TheNeverendingStoryTheAnimatedAdventuresOfBastianBalthazarBux'' are humans with, well, green skin.
* ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' featured this in the ''Jelly's Day'' shorts, where the titular character had pastel purple skin and her cousin Hargus has yellowish-green skin.
* In addition to multicolored ghosts, the Pac-Worlders of ''WesternAnimation/PacManAndTheGhostlyAdventures'' come in all sorts of colors. This was true of the 1982 ''WesternAnimation/PacMan'' series as well.
* ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSketch'': Captain Gagtastic had green skin.
* The Gangreen Gang from ''Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls'' are exactly what color you'd expect them to be.
* Some of the background characters in ''WesternAnimation/TheProblemSolverz'' have colorful skin. The town's several mayors have had yellow and red skin, and in one episode, the gang was freaked out by a teacher who was purple.
* The Gross Sisters from ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'' are rather randomly blue, considering all the other characters are realistically colored and the series is '''all''' about [[FiveTokenBand racial diversity]]. Several episodes imply that the "blue skin" is simply the result of the girls being extremely ashy, mostly notably Penny gaining the same skin tone when she joins them. Many dark-skinned black people who have ashy skin can sometimes appear as being a light periwinkle, almost faded greyish-black in the most extreme cases. Considering that ''The Proud Family'' is a cartoon with rather colorful art direction, it could be inferred that this was one of the most blatant exaggerations for ArtisticLicense.
* All the humanoid "sprite" characters in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' have unusually colored skin. [=AndrAIa=] and Ray Tracer are borderline, since they're different shades of bright orange, a color which often results from cheap self-tanner in the real world. Enzo runs into [[FantasticRacism racial prejudice]] at the start of season three. For while Mainframers will happily accept green merchants and scientists, a green guardian is [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything apparently beyond the pale...]] Interestingly, this all suggests a kind of inherent caste system. Guardians are blue, the Matrices and probably other system-based sprites are green or purple, and web-based sprites are orange. Viruses tend to be strange-looking in general. The only character with a vaguely-human skintone is [[spoiler:Hexadecimal,]] and even then [[spoiler:she]] is stark white.
* Muscle Man from ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' has green skin. Like Murdoc, it could just be problems with hygiene.
* Etheria in ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' has a wide variety of skin tones. While most humans and humanlike creatures resemble Earth ethnicities - most of Glimmer's family save Angella are Asian-coded, Mermista is Indian-coded, Bow is black, and so on - there are a few human and humanlike entities with notable other shades: Light Spinner is an elf with dull green skin [[spoiler:which goes grey after her transformation into Shadow Weaver]]; Queen Angella is faintly purple and an immortal WingedHumanoid; Spinnerella is a very faint purple and otherwise appears human; Razz is a dull shade of literal pink; Huntara and some of the moth people in "Flutterina" are vivid purple; and Hordak is blue-grey with white patches - although he, at least, has the justification of being an alien.
* Gerald of ''WesternAnimation/SidTheScienceKid'' is pink, and not just flesh-tones pink, but the type of pink you'd find in your crayon box.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** They're ''yellow'', and the trope applies only to characters that are supposed to be Caucasian or Asian. The show creators said this was so people who were channel-flipping would stop to see if it was something wrong with their TV. The "Caucasian" characters can be called either white or yellow. Meanwhile, Southwest Asians (Arabs and Indo-Aryans) tend to be rendered "white" (which is to say, "yellow") or "Mexican brown". South Asians such as Apu Nahasapeemapetilon and Southeast Asians such as the Thai restaurant owner will be "reddish-brown" (like Native Americans). Chinese characters tend to be "white" ("yellow"), while Japanese characters are depicted either as icy pale (as if they were all wearing geisha or kabuki makeup) or "white" ("yellow"). This is made even more confusing by the fact that the show's two most prominent Latino characters, Dr. Nick Riviera and Bumblebee Man, are yellow and brown, respectively. Dr. Nick and the Bumblebee Man being both Latino and differently colored is TruthInTelevision, there's no such thing as a "[[LatinoIsBrown Latino coloration]]".
** Also {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in an episode where Abe Simpson is considering marrying Marge's mother. Homer, concerned about he and Marge potentially becoming step-siblings, worries that their children will become freaks with "pink skin, no overbites and five fingers on each hand"...flash to a brief [[UncannyValley unsettling]] (for Homer) image of the Simpson children drawn as "normal" humans.
** Krusty the Clown causes continuity errors with this trope. Depending on the episode, his unusually pale skin is either clown makeup or his natural color. However, that only seemed true in earlier seasons, and now it's implied to be due to Krusty's harsh, self-destructive lifestyle, with all his childhood flashbacks having him have normal skin.
** There were a few times where normal-colored characters appeared, albeit usually in a LawyerFriendlyCameo like the [[ComicBook/ArchieComics Archie gang.]] They did, however, have a legitimate Crossover with ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'', where Jay Sherman was yellow.
** The shorts on ''Series/TheTraceyUllmanShow'' featured background characters who were blue, grey, or orange.
* The Bioborgs, Replicon (who has blue skin) and Lazerette (who has pink skin) in ''WesternAnimation/SkysurferStrikeForce''.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967'' was notorious for the post-season one episodes phasing out Spider-Man's rogues gallery in favor of {{Filler Villain}}s, most of whom inexplicably had green skin.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarComTheUSSpaceForce'': Most of the characters have realistic skin tones, but Emperor Dark’s skin is a light shade of purple, for some reason.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
** The Gems all have skin tones which match their namesake gem; Pearl's is stark white and blushes teal, Garnet's is a deep red, Amethyst's is bright purple, and so on. None of the humans they interact with seem to find this strange, despite their own more natural tones. In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E5HitTheDiamond "Hit the Diamond"]] a group of Rubies appear on Earth, the Crystal Gems try to disguise themselves as humans, and they completely ignore the fact that they have bright blue, purple, red, etc. skin tones. Luckily, the Rubies don't really know what humans look like and they just assume humans can be technicolor.
** Although nowhere near as blatant as gems, some of the humans have slightly exaggerated skin colors. Most noticeably, Onion and his father Yellowtail have pale ''yellow'' skin.
** [[spoiler:Lars]] ends up getting pink skin like [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife Lion]] after [[spoiler:dying and being resurrected by Steven's healing tears in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E3OffColors "Off Colors]]". It's implied that the same thing happened to Lion before he became magical.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/SummerMemories'': While it's [[MagicRealism not the oddest thing in the show]], the vast majority of the cast has skin tones of various colors. Ronnie's red tone could be chalked up to him regularly tanning ([[WalkingShirtlessScene for obvious reasons]]).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'':
** The alien family from the 1973 series episode "The Balloon People" all had pale blue skin.
** ''Challenge of the Superfriends'' depicted the Flash's enemy Captain Cold has having pale blue skin, which is a jarring contrast from his comic counterpart having a normal skin tone.
* The human cast of ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'' often have colorful skin tones, such as blue, green, yellow, pink, and purple. Like ''Doug'', there are still many Caucasian characters, though. This trope, in combination with FurIsSkin and AmazingTechnicolorWildlife makes Spot the blue dog's PaperThinDisguise as the human student Scott somewhat less ridiculous.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'', the titular [[{{Catfolk}} Cats]] of Third Earth employ the principle of FurIsSkin. Panthro is pale blue-gray with black hair (a phenotype shared by {{flashback}} character Panthera, who, like Panthro, has a black voice artist). When the series reveals that more unconventional HumanoidAliens also populate Third Earth, pink, yellow, and purple-skinned creatures appear, most notably, the lavender-complexioned RubberForeheadAlien the Duelist.
* The theme song of ''WesternAnimation/ToddWorld'' is titled "It's a Colorful World", and it certainly is. The main character, Todd, is blue, two of the other main characters are yellow, and Pickle is green. This certainly extends to the [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife animals]] as well-- Todd's [[CivilizedAnimal talking dog]], Benny, is red, yellow, blue and green in different parts.
* Most characters in ''WesternAnimation/FamiliaTipo'' have yellow skin. The non-white characters are drawn in a more realistic brown color.
* ''WesternAnimation/JorelsBrother'': Granny Juju and Samantha has light green skin (the former is likely a reference to her TrademarkFavoriteFood, avocados, while the latter is supposed to make her look like an ogre), and Granny Gigi has pink skin.
