* An {{Elemental Motif|s}} example for ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': House Tyrell, who govern the Reach and are known for their great harvests and association with flowers, have green and gold as their house colors and a rose as their sigil.

* In ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'' Xander, the Green Ranger, has earth- and plant-based powers.

* In ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'', while the earth element is more closely associated with black and grey color schemes, most earth characters in the Mata Nui and Metru Nui story arcs have green eyes. This includes Onua, Whenua, Nuhvok (as well as Nuhvok Va and Nuhvok-Kal), and Tehutti. In ''Mata Nui Online Game'', Onua's earth powers are represented by bright green energy during the battle against Makuta. In the canceled ''[[VideoGame/{{BIONICLE}} BIONICLE: The Legend of Mata Nui]]'', where each Toa's Energy Spheres are color-coded to their elements in the most recent beta build, Onua's Energy Spheres are green.

* ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars]]'': The four (actually five) factions are all named for a colour and a celestial object, one of these being Green Earth (the others being Red/Orange Star, Blue Moon, Yellow Comet and Black Hole).
* In ''VideoGame/DragonProject'', the Earth element is represented as a green leaf, and a majority of Earth-elemented [[OurMonstersAreDifferent Behemoth]]s are green. In fact, all Earth-elemented [[MagicByAnyOtherName Magis]] are colored in various shades of green. Even Earth-elemented [[ShowsDamage attack numbers]] are dark green.
* In the ''Videogame/JadeCocoon'' series, Earth-type {{mons}} have green color schemes and {{Field Power Effect}}s that strengthen earth turn the terrain green.

* ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'' inverts this with the Yellow Element, which covers both earth-based attacks as well as [[YellowLightningBlueLightning lightning-based attacks]].

* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': The Hogwarts houses are a loose FourElementEnsemble. As an {{Elemental Motif|s}}, Hufflepuff corresponds to Earth -- its house colors are yellow and black, representing wheat and soil, and the house is known for its hard workers. (Here's a [[https://www.wizardingworld.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/colours citation]] for that.)

* In ''TabletopGame/TheDarkEye'', Earth is divided between "Stone" and "Soil". The former is associated to the color orange, while the latter is represented by earthen colors (usually green).
* In ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'', earth magic is associated both with Green, the color of nature, and White, the latter usually in the form of yellow sand and dust. However, most earth spells are actually Red and it is officially the "earth color".

* In ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'', the elements are split up into six colors. Yellow is the color of DishingOutDirt spells (and [[ShockAndAwe lightning]]), while green includes [[GreenThumb plant magic]] (and [[BlowYouAway wind]]).

* In 2006 and 2007, some stone-themed ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'' characters were yellow, and Carapar (who didn't have stone powers but fit that role in the color scheme) had golden-brown armor.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro'': Earth Breath and its many variations across all three games are associated with the color green (while yellow is for lightning). More evident in the first two games, where Earth Breath includes power over soil, nature and {{wind|IsGreen}}, while the third game Spyro's attack are more earth/rock related and are a mix of green and brown.

However, in certain works, colors like [[color:yellow:yellow]] or [[green:green]] are used to display [[DishingOutDirt earth-related powers]]. How earth is portrayed as yellow or green can depend on the region the work is from.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': With earth being split into Ground and Rock types, the menu icon of the former is shown in a light muted tan, while the latter is golden brown.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': The three types close to earth (Grass, Ground, and Rock), are color coded into this. The Grass-Type counts as the Green Earth, while Ground and Rock-types are shades of brown. Ground-type being the yellowish brown Yellow Earth, and Rock-type getting a darker brown.

However, in certain works, colors like [[yellow:yellow]] or [[green:green]] are used to display [[DishingOutDirt earth-related powers]]. How earth is portrayed as yellow or green can depend on the region the work is from.

* ''ComicBook/XMenDeadlyGenesis'': Petra can control earth as her mutant power. For her [[spoiler: fatal]] mission to Krakoa, she wore a green outfit that left [[MsFanservice little to the imagination.

* For the first five and a half years of its existence, all stone-themed ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'' sets were brown. In 2006 and 2007, Hewkii, Toa of Stone, was given a yellow-based color scheme (the only other stone character in that time period was the yellow Dekar; Carapar, although fitting the color scheme, had no ElementalPowers). In 2008, Pohatu, Toa of Stone, was orange. 2009 had the Sand Tribe, with a tan color scheme, though they lacked elemental powers. In the early years, one Matoran of Earth (Nuparu) had an orange mask, though the rest of his body was black.

Alternately, green is used as a color for earth because of its association with nature and environmentalism; using green can overlap with GreenThumb and EmeraldPower. In Western works, earth is usually portrayed in green, while air is portrayed in [[TechnicolorWind yellow or white]].

* ''Website/{{Neopets}}'': Earth Faeries are decked out in green dresses, with leaf-like wings and green eyes. The quest-giving Earth Faerie, Illusen, lives in a glade in the lush green kingdom of Meridell, instead of Faerieland with most other faeries.
