Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': The coloring for a character inexplicably changes.

* '''Enforced''': The marketing team found that the red shirt design looked better on toys, and went with it even though it's not the same as on the show.

* '''Played for Laughs''': Spencer's shirt changing color is a RunningGag, and an inside joke the fans look for.
* '''Played for Drama''': Spencer's shirt changing color is done to represent his lack of identity, and how he feels like he's becoming disassociated with his real self.
