* in [[ADungeonIsYou Dungeon Core]] stories, the crystalline core of a living dungeon often has a notable color. This is no different in "Literature/NoNeedForACore"; Mordecai's core half is Purple in color, and he deliberately gives his avatars dark purple hair. Kazue's core half is gold, and while she keeps her original hair color (red) she does tend to add gold themes into her clothing. And the clothes of her husband and wife.

* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': Batman is blue, Robin is red, Batgirl is purple, at least when it's just them. Becomes more of a case by case basis as you add more members of the Bat-Family, mantles are passed down, and code names get updated.
** ''ComicBook/Robin1993'': Tim Drake's initial Robin costume was primarily green and Stephanie's Spoiler was eggplant purple. Tim's narration boxes were given a green drop-shadow or green filled while Stephanie's were purple cursive on light lavender making them green and purple coded respectively. Tim's green association became less consistent after his costume lost its green to make it better match his red and black DCAU costume but by this time Steph was "dead" and he was the sole narrator and protagonist of the book.
** ''Webcomic/LilGotham'' has four Robins active simultaneously, and a chibi art style that makes them all look similar, so they each have a color, which appears on their masks when they're in uniform and accessories such as scarves when they're not. Dick's is blue, Jason's is red, Tim's is black, and Damian's is green. Bruce wears one of the Batsuits that's just gray and black, without blue or yellow highlights, and has gray accessories.
* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck's nephews wear caps colored red, blue and green; however, originally there was no set association between nephew and color. Eventually it was established that red=Huey, blue=Dewey and green=Louie, but occasionally artists will still mix them up. Since the nephews are otherwise identical in appearance and personality, it doesn't actually matter which one is which.
* ''ComicBook/EastOfWest'': Each of the Four Horsemen have a color associated with them, which helps identify them during flashbacks to when they had different bodies. War is red, Conquest is blue, and Famine is yellow. Death was initially black, but [[DiseaseBleach a traumatic experience in the backstory caused him to change to white]], which is his color from the story’s start onwards.
* ''ComicBook/InferiorFive'': Merryman is magenta, Awkwardman is blue, Blimp is green, Dumb Bunny is red, and White Feather is [[NonIndicativeName orange]] and white.
* ''ComicBook/{{Loop}}'': One twin wears blue and holds a blue pillow, and the other twin wears red.
* ''ComicBook/PowerPack'': The Powers siblings wore similar costumes coloured white, magenta, blue and yellow. The costumes don't actually help the readers differentiate, since they don't look alike, but because the kids' powers are [[PowersAsPrograms interchangeable]], the colors sometimes designate who's got which power at present. Whenever [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Franklin Richards]] joined them as Tattletale, though, his costume was always red.
* ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'': In ''Comicbook/Supergirl1982'' #4, the titular heroine fights The Gang, a super-villain team. The Gang's members wear similar armored suits colored red, blue, yellow and green (by the way, this story is older than the ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' franchise).

The Gang's members wear similar armored suits colored red, blue, yellow and green (by the way, this story is older than the ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' franchise).
* The "core four" of ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' were each connected to a color they both wore and sometimes filled the background of their narration boxes; ComicBook/{{Impulse}} was red, ComicBook/{{Superboy}} was blue, ComicBook/{{Robin}} was green, and ComicBook/WonderGirl was black/yellow. In addition Secret was associated with smoky gray and Empress was associated with purple and gold.
* Franchise/{{Batman}}: Batman is blue, Robin is red, Batgirl is purple, at least when it's just them. Becomes more of a case by case basis as you add more members of the Bat-Family, mantles are passed down, and code names get updated.

** Iceman: Cyan
** Angel: Red

* The members of the Greek pantheon who were most prominent in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2011'' were each associated with a color: Artemis, goddess of the moon and hunt, with Silver, Hera, queen of the gods, with peacock green, Apollo, the [[spoiler:new king of the gods]] with purple, Demeter with green, Hermes with light blue and Ares with beige.

* By necessity, characters in ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' are mostly told apart by their colors--as everyone is constantly in armor, and until Halo 3 (season 6) all of the armor looked exactly the same, color was the only possible way to make them look different. Most of the main characters are further divided into ColorCodedArmies, the Reds and Blues, but the Freelancers have a wide variety of colors.

* By necessity, ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'':
** Simulation Troopers are split into Red Army and Blue Army, and soldiers wear armour associated with their army. However, prior to Season 6's introduction of Halo 3 assets, the only way to tell apart the
characters in ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' is by ensuring individuals have different shades, ranging from the purest colour forms of red and blue to shades that are mostly told apart by their colors--as everyone is constantly in armor, nominally associated with the colour (such as brown and until Halo 3 (season 6) all of the armor looked exactly the same, color was the only possible way to make them look different. Most of the main characters are further divided into ColorCodedArmies, pink for the Reds and Blues, but turquoise and yellow for the Blues).
** The
Freelancers have a wide variety of colors.colours, but specific colour combinations are unique to each individual Freelancer, making it easy to tell everyone apart. As twins, North and South Dakota have the most similar armour, but even they have different shades and therefore can be easily told apart. As a result, certain characters are heavily associated with certain colours, such as Tex's black armour, Carolina's cyan armour the Meta's white armour, North's brown armour and Washington's yellow-accented armour (normally black). Even when Carolina later shares Turquoise with Tucker, they wear different helmets, so can still be told apart.
