* EmeraldPower: The Omnitrix gives off a bright green glow whenever it does anything particularly powerful. Ben (and Gwen) himself has green eyes. His transformations happen in a flash of green light. Some the alien heroes (Stinkfly, Wildvine, and Upchuck) are green themselves. The trope only increased as the story went on. Starting with ''Alien Force'', the Omnitrix itself becomes green, all the alien forms have green eyes, and Ben himself dresses in green. His alien forms do too, starting with ''Omniverse''. It's eventually revealed his favorite color is green (like we didn't guess). He could generally rival Green Lantern at this point.
** Green is also the favorite color of the green-eyed Azmuth, the supergenius creator of the Omnitrix among other inventions.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Vulpimancers have been shown to come in three different colors; light blue, dark pink, and orange.
