** ''Series/KamenRiderKuuga'' started it. ''Series/KamenRiderBlackRX'' may have begun form-changing in its current form, but ''he'' got ''total'' redesigns. Kuuga gets a rainbow of colors and only a few small design changes.

* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' plays with this. Almost all digimon have a far more drastic transformation when they get stronger. However, it is not uncommon for digimon to have slide evolutions, which tend to be similar in power but with different colors and moralities, usually caused by either a virus or purifying an evil digimon. That being said, there are some digimon who do evolve like this. For instance, [[RockMonster Gotsumon]] will often evolve into Icemon, which in turn, evolves into meteormon, all of them recolors made of different materials. [[WreathedInFlames Meramon]] may evolve into [=BlueMeramon=], a slightly more powerful blue variant.

* Anime/GaoGaiGar turns green whenever it uses [[YinYangBomb Hell And Heaven]] and gold when using [[DropTheHammer Goldion Hammer]]. Mechas affected by '''THE POWER''' shine orange. Gai himself has [[SuperMode Hyper Mode]], which turns all his body armor, as well as his hair, gold.

May be a visual indication of HeroicRROD, SuperMode, or TurnsRed. Compare with VolcanicVeins, TronLines, BattleAura, PowerTattoo, MarkOfTheBeast, MarkedChange and GoldenSuperMode. See also ColourCodedForYourConvenience and ConvenientColorChange.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'''s second season finale, [[spoiler: when girls turn into incarnations of their elements]], it comes with a change of their appearance, including colors.

* Happens in a rather creepy fashion in season 2 of ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'' when [[spoiler:Qilby reveals his true nature and merges with the Eliacube, turning his skin bone white in the process.]]

* Takao Saito's manga ''The Shadowman'' stars a young man who was exposed to a flawed genetic experiment which gave him superhuman physical abilities after a period of time away from direct sunlight. As a side-effect, while powered-up, he has [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation solid black skin]] and [[PowerDyesYourHair stark white hair]].

* Grabbing an [[InvincibilityPowerUp invincibility star]], causes [[SuperMarioBros Mario]] to flash a rainbow of colours until the effect wears off.

** With the two notable exceptions of Tails and Knuckles, who either just glow or gain auras around themselves. In ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'' they would glow between their normal colors and a lighter shade when they went super but this was dropped in ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''.

** Blaze the Cat in ''VideoGame/SonicRush'' not only changes color (going from lavender to pink after becoming Burning Blaze) but even her coat changes color, going from purple to red.

** In ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaViVid'', [[spoiler:Vivio's white jacket turns to its original black color when she changes from her Adult Mode to her Sankt Kaiser Mode.]]

* The Comicbook/IncredibleHulk, of course - when Banner turns into the Hulk, his body changes color to green, or sometimes gray. Jen Walters' ComicBook/SheHulk turns green as well (and has occasionally gone gray), while Rick Jones as A-Bomb turns blue, Hulk's son Skaar turns into a gray shade of green (so he is often gray or green, depending on the colorist), and ComicBook/RedHulk and Red She-Hulk turn...[[CaptainObvious red]].

* [[Franchise/DevilMayCry Dante]] and [[VideoGame/GargoylesQuest Firebrand]] do this as Hypers in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''.
