| 17 | A superhero and masked hero naming convention where the hero has a color as part of their name. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Generally, this color is incorporated into their powers, their appearance, or their costume in some way. Expect it to be [[LampshadeHanging pointed out]] if it isn't. Most names of this type take the form of Color Noun. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | A SisterTrope to SomethingPerson, where the hero or villain has his power or defining trait as part of his code name. May or may not be ColorCodedForYourConvenience. Wanders into AddedAlliterativeAppeal on occasion. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Different colors tend to signify different things. A few of these characters are from the UsefulNotes/ColdWar era and are colored red because they come from, or represent, a communist nation. Black can indicate a CaptainEthnic or an AntiHero. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | See also ColourfulThemeNaming, AllYourColorsCombined. When combined with AnimalThemeNaming, this is ColorAnimalCodename. |

| 33 | * ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' are of course ''built'' on this. Individual monikers (such as [[Series/PowerRangersZeo Zeo Ranger IV Green]] or [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokai Pink]]) often reference their colors, but even when they are identified by, say an [[AnimalThemedSuperbeing animal]], they collectively are usually identified as [Color] Ranger(s) for the franchise overall. |
| 34 | * While not exactly heroes, the crème de la crème of the Fixers in ''VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina'' are given titles that follow this scheme, and are aptly called Color Fixers or just as Colors. Those currently known are the Red Mist, Purple Tear, Blue Reverberation, [[spoiler: Black Silence and Vermillion Cross]]. It is unknown why this trend was chosen in-universe. |
| 35 | * As it takes a lot of influence from ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', the five heroes of ''Lightning Sentai Blitzenger'' have code names incorporating their colors: [[StockShonenHero Rai]] is Crimson Lightning, [[TeamMom Momoko]] is Azure Lightning, [[InsufferableGenius Kimura]] is Jade Lightning, [[AmericansAreCowboys Ashley]] is Golden Lightning, and [[GyaruGirl Yumi]] is Magenta Lightning, respectively. |

| 626 | * ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' has the Prism Rangers, themselves a parody of ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' and ''Franchise/SuperSentai''. |
| 627 | * The [[Franchise/TouhouProject Yakumos]] have a colour theme doubled with BilingualBonus - namely, Chen means orange, Ran means indigo and Yukari means violet. This gets VERY meaningful - Yukari is the most powerful of the 3, Chen is the weakest, and THAT'S just the game of their introduction. In the 8th game, Yukari is half of the border team, the other half being the predominantly red-wearing Reimu, making the team name very meaningful. |

| 634 | * In the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' stories about Silver Ghost, she gets involved with [=SPECTRUM=], the superhero group of Cincinnati. They have theme naming (Green Witch, Yellow Knight, Azure, etc), which really ticks off Tawny - she'd rather have a name like Lioness. |
