11%%So, our heroes are fighting with TheDragon. The ActionGirl activates her LimitBreak and starts glowing violet. TheSmartGuy unleashes his DangerousForbiddenTechnique and becomes [[HulkingOut all covered in green]]. Their combined attack badly damages TheDragon, but in response, he TurnsRed - literally, as his transformation changes all his colors to red. But fear not! TheHero enters SuperMode with his body turning all gold from awesome power and is ready to unleash it all to deliver the final blow...

13A shapeshifting trope without an actual change in shape, this is when a character's transformation to a new form is indicated by a change in hair and clothing color, which is meant to symbolize the power. Sometimes, character is just [[PowerGlows shining with one-colored aura]] and sometimes, [[ConvenientColorChange all his color temporary changes into that one.]] It's clear indicator for the audience that, that character is now getting stronger. [[RuleOfCool And it looks damn cool]].
14
15It very often overlaps with PowerGlows, especially in SuperRobot shows, but there are cases of one that does not require the another.
16
17May be a visual indication of HeroicRROD, SuperMode, or TurnsRed. Compare with VolcanicVeins, TronLines, BattleAura, PowerTattoo, MarkOfTheBeast, MarkedChange, PowerDyesYourHair and GoldenSuperMode. See also ColourCodedForYourConvenience and ConvenientColorChange. Contrast GrayIsUseless and NoPowerNoColor.

20!!Examples:
21[[foldercontrol]]
22
23[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
24* ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'' turns green whenever it uses [[YinYangBomb Hell And Heaven]] and gold when using [[CarryABigStick 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.
25* ''Manga/{{Heroman}}'' turns red whenever he enters [[UnstoppableRage Rage]] [[SuperMode Mode]]. [[spoiler: So does Joey]].
26* ''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.
27* When [[Anime/{{FLCL}} Canti]] combines with Naota, it turns red. [[spoiler:Naota also turns red after temporarily absorbing Atomsk's powers]].
28* In ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'', powerful warriors turn themselves and their mecha gold when they use their most powerful attacks.
29** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' has the Trans-Am system, which triples the machine's abilities while also turning it bright red.
30* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' uses it too, a few times.
31* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'':
32** Performing [[FusionDance Unison]] changes the color of a mage's hair, eyes, and [[InstantArmor Barrier Jacket/Knight Clothing]].
33** When Subaru synchronizes her {{Power Fist}}s in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' (by slamming them against each other, no less), allowing her to use [[DualWielding both at the same time]], the right gauntlet (originally her sister's) turns from white purple to her native black and blue.
34** 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.]]
35* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
36** When Luffy uses Gear 2nd, his skin color becomes pink, due to all the blood being pumped rapidly through his body.
37** [[spoiler:Gear 5 turns Luffy's clothes and hair pure white]].
38* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'''s eponymous character has [[RuleOfThree three]] (so far, anyway). His eyes are blue in the normal mode, turn red in SuperMode No. 1, and Orange in SuperMode No. 2. [[spoiler: His whole body turns [[GoldenSuperMode gold]] and black in SuperMode No. 3]].
39** Justified when Lee and Guy open their Gates. The third gate turns their skin red due to the increased blood flow; the seventh gate causes them to generate a green aura as their sweat immediately evaporates from their skin; and the eighth gate turns the aura red from their ''[[HeroicRROD blood literally boiling in their veins]]'', with their body eventually turning black as it cooks itself.
40* In ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'', Evas that undergo pseudo-evolution due to consuming an Angel turn into a glowing, white EnergyBeing. Additionally, Unit 01's eyes and neon lights (both green) turn red, its mouth emits a red glow and its skin a yellowish glow when it's on the verge of reaching pseudo-evolved state; [[spoiler:Unit 13 just straight skipped to the EnergyBeing phase]]. In any case, an Eva undergoing these changes is a major MassOhCrap - even to those who haven't seen the original series. [[LightIsNotGood And as it turns out]], [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt for good reason]].
41** In the third movie, [[spoiler:Eva Mark.09 turns dark gray-brown with a hint of red when it reverts to its Adams' Vessel state and grows a new head with ten glowing red eyes instead of the mechanical-looking [[CyberCyclops Unit 00 lookalike]] it had]].
42* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
43** Kai-O-Ken turns the user's body flush with red, with a red aura, and Super Saiyan at the very least turns the fighter's hair gold with a gold aura.
44** ''Anime/DragonBallZSuperAndroid13'': After absorbing the components of Androids #14 and #15, Android #13's skin turns blue with grey areas on his shoulders, stomach, chest, and back. [[PowerDyesYourHair His hair also changes from white to orange]].
45** ''Anime/DragonBallZBojackUnbound'': The eponymous villain has teal-blue skin and orange hair in his base form. His SuperMode turns his skin green and his hair red.
46** ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'': Frieza's "[[GoldenSuperMode Golden Frieza]]" form is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
47* On ''Anime/YuGiOh'', the blue [[PhysicalGod Obelisk the Tormentor]] glows red when his controller sacrifices two other monsters to power him up.
48* In ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', [[spoiler:Yusei turns gold when he uses Over Top Clear Mind]].
49* Kaito Tenjo from ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'' engages in Photon Mode whenever he duels, turning all his clothes completely white.
50* In ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', Toguro turns dark purple when he uses 100% of his power.
51* In ''Manga/SaintSeiya'', after the Asgard arc, the Bronze Saints experience this with their Cloths turning an awesome shade of Gold (most of the time with a ThemeMusicPowerUp) when they properly use their full powers. A TakingUpTheMantle for TheAtoner Gold Saints.
52* Various ''Anime/PrettyCure'' girls get to change colors from time to time with their Super Modes. The second ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureMaxHeart'' movie had the girls turn gold, the ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5GoGo'' movie had Shining Dream's form be a subdued pink and the Super Silhouette forms in ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'' are extremely subdued in color to the point where it's almost completely white.
53* 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 ink-black skin]] and [[PowerDyesYourHair stark white hair]]. He dons a slightly outlandish costume, as well, which may be gilding the lily a bit.
54* ''Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'':
55** The [[SiblingTeam Autobot Brothers]] undergo this whenever they "supercharge". Prowl goes from white to blue, X-Brawn goes from green to white and Side Burn goes from blue to red.
56** Megatron's body is purple. When he is reborn as the more powerful Galvatron, [[LightIsNotGood it turns white.]]
57* In ''Anime/YohaneTheParhelionSunshineInTheMirror'', [[spoiler:Ruby can become an EquippableAlly by fusing with her sister Dia's CoolBike. Upon doing so, Dia's suit and her bike transform from a dark red to a brilliant glowing crimson red, and the black highlights light up with glowing green TronLines]].
58[[/folder]]
59
60[[folder:Comic Books]]
61* ''Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk'': When Bruce 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 red.
62* ''ComicBook/NewMutants'': When ComicBook/{{Sunspot}} uses his mutant power to absorb sunlight, his entire body turns pitch black and is surrounded with a yellow glow. This is explained as him draining the 'ambient light' from his skin.
63* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'':
64** Like in the games, Sonic's fur turns gold when he transforms into Super Sonic.
65** Knuckles' fur turns green after he evolves into Chaos Knuckles.
66** Before becoming Scourge, [[EvilDoppelganger Evil-Sonic]] had blue fur just like Sonic. After exposure to the Master Emerald, his fur turned green and he gained a boost in strength and stamina. He also had a super state of his own, which turns his fur [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]].
67[[/folder]]
68
69[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
70* ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog22022'': [[spoiler:When Eggman absorbs the power of the Master Emerald, his red and black coat change to black and green.]]
71[[/folder]]
72
73[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
74* The ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' has this trope in spades.
75** Whenever Series/UltramanTaro uses his Storium Beam, he raises his arms into the air and briefly goes through all the colours of the rainbow while drawing in energy.
76--->'''"STORIUM KOHSEN!"''' ''[[UnsoundEffect VOOOOOORP]]'' [cue the beam]
77** Series/UltramanTiga changes colour when he changes type. It should be noted that Tiga's Multi Type bears a variety of colours. If he changes to his Power Type, he turns red, while in Sky Type his colours are predominantly purple. If he assumes his Glitter Type, which is his strongest form, he becomes gold.
78** Series/UltramanDyna continues this theme. His Miracle Type state involves him assuming a white and sky blue colour, while his Strong Type features a more red-based colour scheme.
79** ''Series/UltramanCosmos'' takes this a step further by assigning different emotions to Cosmos's Forms. When Cosmos is in his default blue Luna Form, he tries to end fights peacefully and spare his opponents. When he has no choice or is fighting a blatantly-evil foe, he literally TurnsRed and assumes his Corona Form. In this form, he's far more willing to dish out some damage.
80* Very common with modern Franchise/{{Kamen Rider}}s, which tend to be [[SwissArmyHero Swiss-Army Heroes]] with different forms that are ColorCodedForYourConvenience. A SuperMode can further set itself apart by being in a color that none of the lesser forms use, sometimes recoloring the ''entire'' suit including the parts that usually stay the same. (And just to keep the list relatively short, we're only listing upgrades, not all alternate forms.)
81** ''Series/KamenRiderStronger'' was the first Kamen Rider to get a SuperMode, and this involved part of his chestplate and the horns on his helmet turning silver.
82** ''Series/KamenRiderKuuga'' started the tradition of being a SwissArmyHero with different-colored forms.[[note]]''Series/KamenRiderBlackRX'' may have begun form-changing in its current form, but ''he'' got ''total'' redesigns.[[/note]] His strongest forms, Amazing Mighty Kuuga and Ultimate Kuuga, lose the colors of the prior forms and are instead black.
83** Series/KamenRiderAgito usually sports silver-and-gold armor, but Burning Agito is red and Shining Agito is primarily white.
84** In ''Series/KamenRider555'', the red-and-black Kamen Rider Faiz goes all-black with white accents for Accel Form and all-red with black accents for Blaster Form.
85** Series/KamenRiderBlade's armor is blue and silver, but his Jack Form starts turning the silver parts gold and his King Form completely overhauls the color scheme to black and gold, with only some blue accents. In the same series, Chalice goes from primarily black to primarily red in his Wild form. When Garren and Leangle finally get their own King Forms around 20 years later (Garren in ''Series/KamenRiderOutsiders'', Leangle in an anniversary stage show), they follow Blade's lead and also switch their [color]-and-silver schemes (red for Garren and green for Leangle) for black-and-gold with colored accents.
86** Series/KamenRiderHibiki's Hibiki Kurenai ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Crimson Hibiki"]]) form is just his normal form, but going from purple to red.
87** Series/KamenRiderKiva is primarily a mix of red, black, and silver; but his Emperor Form switches it up to be mainly red and gold.
88** Series/KamenRiderDecade's normal armor is pink, black, and white, but his Complete Form changes the color balance to be mainly black and silver with just a little pink trim.
89** In ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'':
90*** Downplayed by Double himself. He has a half-and-half suit, with each half able to be swapped for different colors and powers. His [=FangJoker=] form uses a new white Fang half to go with the existing black Joker half -- only half the suit may have a new color, but the striking black-and-white color scheme achieves the same effect.
91*** Kamen Rider Accel starts out as red, then gets a SuperMode that turns him blue (after briefly turning yellow as part of a traffic-light motif). In the post-series movie, he gets another upgrade that's [[GoldenSuperMode gold]] / yellow.
92** While Series/KamenRiderOOO's suit is mainly black with colored designs on it regardless of form, the undersuit for his [=PuToTyra=] SuperMode is white instead, and an alternate SuperMode introduced in a movie (Super [=TaToBa=]) reverses the colors so that it has black trim on a colored suit.
93** Series/KamenRiderFourze normally has a white suit in his Base States form, with his more powerful forms in silver for Magnet States and blue in Cosmic States.
94** Series/KamenRiderWizard's base "Style" forms are black with colored gems. Dragon Styles reverse this, featuring the colors more prominently than the black. Infinity Style and later Infinity Dragon Style turn him silver, and Infinity Dragon Gold Mode turns him gold.
95** Series/KamenRiderGaim's SuperMode, Kiwami Arms, changes his suit from blue-and-orange to white.
96** Series/KamenRiderGhost is mainly black with orange accents by default. An upgrade to that form, Toucon Boost, turns him mostly red. His next major upgrade, Grateful, returns to the black-with-colored-accents scheme, but his late-series Mugen SuperMode is white.
97** Series/KamenRiderExAid goes from pink (Action Gamer) to mint green and orange (Double Action Gamer) to gold (Muteki Gamer).
98** Series/KamenRiderBuild generally switches colors depending on the powerset he's using the same way Double does, but usually defaults to one that's red and blue. Using a "Hazard" SuperpoweredEvilSide upgrade drains all color from the suit and turns it pure black. His SuperMode is white, with blue-and-red trim (in the same pattern as the original form).
99** Series/KamenRiderZiO has more than one SuperMode that decks him out in BlingOfWar and covers him in gold.
100** Series/KamenRiderZeroOne's [=MetalCluster=] Hopper diverges from the black-and-yellow color scheme that most of his forms have by being pure silver with only a few yellow accents.
101** Series/KamenRiderSaber, rather than getting a completely redesigned suit for his Xross Saber SuperMode, just has his base form suit repainted with a CelestialBody pattern (though this does extend to any and all alternate forms that build off of that base). WordOfGod is that it's a reference to ''Stronger'', who similarly had some color changes instead of a total redesign.
102** The Riders in ''Series/KamenRiderGeats'' generally put variously-colored armor elements over a black undersuit in their different forms, but Geats' SuperMode Geats IX is instead pure white with red accents and only a black patch around the midsection.
103* ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce'': Jake is the only Ranger who changes colors in Super Mega Mode going from black to green. This is due to the fact that his Green Ranger suit is actually from a [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger different Sentai series]] than the [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger one]] the first season of ''Megaforce'' was adapting. Jake himself actually lampshades this and asks why he's got the wrong color, Gosei tries to explain it and states it's a "simple" reason... Before getting interrupted.
104* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' usually averts this trope, as a Red Ranger's SuperMode normally adds decoration to the suit but keeps him red. But there are a few exceptions:
105** ''Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger'' makes Shishi Red's SuperMode (Shishi Red Orion) almost completely white.
106** ''Series/OhsamaSentaiKingOhger'' takes Kuwagata Ohger and turns him almost completely gold for his King form.
107[[/folder]]
108
109[[folder:Video Games]]
110* In ''VideoGame/{{Vindictus}}'', the transformations. No matter what your character looked like before, dark knights have a black with red motif, and paladins have a white with blue one. The exception is certain armor sets, which are modeled after the appearance of the transformations and don't visually change much.
111* Super Sonic and the other SuperMode characters from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', with all hedgehog characters (except for Amy Rose) like Sonic, Shadow, and Silver transforming their fur a golden yellow.
112** 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 when they canonically achieved a super state in ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''. Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel, would obtain the same states as Knuckles and Tails in ''VideoGame/SonicMania''. Knuckles, Tails, and Amy Rose can also retroactively enter similar states in ''Sonic Origins'' and ''Sonic Superstars''.
113** When Blaze the Cat uses the power of the seven Sol Emeralds in ''VideoGame/SonicRush'' and ''VideoGame/SonicRushAdventure'', it not only changes her fur color (going from lavender to pink as Burning Blaze) but even her coat changes colors, going from purple to red.
114** ''VideoGame/SonicSuperstars'' introduces a new super form for [[spoiler:Trip the Sungazer, where she transforms from a smaller orange and red scaled sungazer lizard into a giant golden scaled dragon]].
115* Biotics in the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' saga tend to glow blue when using powers or using amazing Asari biotic acrobatics.
116* In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment'', [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Akito and Gai]]'s mechas turn gold when they use their team-up attack.
117* Grabbing an [[InvincibilityPowerUp invincibility star]], causes [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] to flash a rainbow of colours until the effect wears off.
118** Several other powerups change the color of Mario's shirt and overalls including Fire (red on white), [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii Ice]] (red on light blue), and [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Flying]] (black on red). Luigi swaps out the red in these transformations for green but otherwise the same applies for him.
119* A variation of this: in ''VideoGame/{{Caster}}'', the protagonist appears in a certain colour depending on the currently selected spell.
120* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'', there is a magic ring that reduces damage. It also changes Link's clothes from green to light blue. An even better ring makes them red. Due to a programming quirk (shared palettes), the merchant's and some other character's clothes also change color to match, as will some of the trim on Link's equipment.
121** In ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink,'' the shield spell turns you red. As above, anything that's the same shade of green as your tunic will change with you, even undergoing the very same flicker!
122** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime,'' you get the Zora Tunic that lets you breathe underwater and the Goron Tunic that lets you withstand heat (though ''super''-hot things like standing in lava will just hurt you ''less.'') And again, other things of the same color are subject to the glitch (Aveil's clothes ''and lipstick'' will change with your tunic. Her ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'' appearance and remakes of OOT for more modern systems have her tunic and lipstick as always red.)
123** In ''Majora's Mask'', when Link becomes the Fierce Deity, he doesn't just get a new color scheme, but an elaborate new outfit, with armor, a {{BFS}}, and FacialMarkings. This has been Link's strongest transformation so far.
124* The Trance ability in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX''. Zidane's skin (or fur, [[DontExplainTheJoke since he looks like a monkey]]) changes to pink. Vivi's clothes change to white. Steiner's armor gets green details. Freya's clothes change to purple. Quina's skin color changes to black. Eiko gets white clothing and yellow hair. Scarlet Head Amarant becomes [[{{Pun}} Purple Head Amarant]]. Garnet gets pink skin and yellow hair and clothes. [[BigBad Kuja]]'s purple robes and silver hair both [[TurnsRed turn red]]. Unlike the other examples, [[OneWingedAngel this is not a good thing]]. Unlike other examples, the characters also undergo costume alterations in addition to color alterations, some minor (Vivi's hat straightens out, Steiner gets a faceplate for his helmet, the wings on Eiko's costume grow), some major (Amarant and Zidane lose their clothes entirely, while Freya's outfit upgrades into a full set of plate armor, including, gauntlets, greaves, and a face-concealing helmet).
125* The bosses in ''VideoGame/TheSimpsons'', after enough hits.
126* In ''VideoGame/KidIcarus1986'', Pit changes colors as he levels up.
127* Princess Shroob from ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime'' literally TurnsRed halfway through the battle, increasing the speed and frequency of her attacks.
128* [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]] and [[VideoGame/GargoylesQuest Firebrand]] do this as Hypers in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''.
129* In ''[[VideoGame/BombJack Mighty Bomb Jack]]'', Jack turns blue, orange and green with increasing levels of Mighty Power.
130* As of an update to ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' ''[[UpdatedRerelease Encore]]'', [[SNKBoss Marie]] changes to a [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent backer-submitted]] alternate palette when encountered on [[HarderthanHard Nightmare difficulty]] of Arcade mode or [[spoiler: as Marie 300% in Squigly's joke story mode]].
131* In the video game for ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', (both the Platform/SuperNintendo and Platform/SegaGenesis versions), Cyclopsis will turn gold when he powers up to his second form.
132* In ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII'', Ryuu's ultimate dragon form, the Kaiser, simply turns him gold while pumping up his stats and giving him new powers in addition to the Skills he already knew.
133* Jack Frost, the cute blue-and-white MascotMook of the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' series, can permanently transform into the menacing Black Frost through ThePowerOfHate. You can actually see this happen in ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'', and then recruit him into your party. And if you then take the [[spoiler: Demon Overlord]] ending, you see this made him powerful enough to [[spoiler: ''become your [[TheDragon Dragon]]'']].
134* The block gun you get in ''VideoGame/{{Antichamber}}'' changes color as you upgrade it with new abilities. As the gun gets more powerful, the color goes hotter, culminating in red.
135* ''VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry'': Dante's [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] form turns his hair white and his black coat red.
136* ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure'': Kirby's pink skin becomes a beige-peach color when he obtains a copy ability; obtaining Ice and Freeze, meanwhile, turn his skin light blue. The only other change to his appearance is that his sprite becomes ''slightly'' wider, but it's difficult to notice.
137[[/folder]]
138
139[[folder:Web Comics]]
140* In a reference to ''Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk'', Thog the half-orc from ''WebComic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' normally pale green skin turns a deeper emerald shade when entering his barbarian rage and his pants randomly turn purple (regardless of their original color).
141* In ''Webcomic/CogaNito'', [[spoiler: Eric goes from RedIsHeroic to BlueIsHeroic when he uses the Heart to power up.]]
142[[/folder]]
143
144[[folder:Web Videos]]
145* When WebVideo/TheIrateGamer powers up using his sword, his shirt changes from blue to red.
146* In ''WebAnimation/NoEvil'', taking up the Red Tezcatlipoca, which gives fiery powers, burns the spirit's fur or feathers: Xipetotec's feathers go from glossy to a matte black, and [[spoiler:Kajartoq's fur goes from a vibrant red to a sooty grey]].
147[[/folder]]
148
149[[folder:Western Animation]]
150* Happens in the climax of the GrandFinale in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' when Aang starts spiritbending.
151* Likewise, in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', Korra's use of spiritbending in the finale of Book 2 turns her blue, while her enemy, [[BigBad Unavaatu]], turns black and red. And, as a bonus, [[{{Kaiju}} they also turn 20 stories tall!]]
152* In the season 2 finale of ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'', [[spoiler:Hawk Moth receives a power boost that turns his entire outfit red. He accordingly takes on the name "Scarlet Moth".]]
153* ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'': Whenever Randy uses his "Ninja Tengu Fireball" attack, the ninja suit glows red and Randy adopts a pair of GlowingEyes.
154* 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.]]
155* 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.
156* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': "The N-Men" has Jimmy, Sheen, Libby, Carl and Cindy getting exposed to radiation in outer space which grants them all superpowers. At first, it seems like all Jimmy got was [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway orange skin and a fruity odor]]. [[HulkMashUp But it turns out that his true powers is transforming into a super strong, orange-skinned monster whenever he gets angry.]]
157[[/folder]]

160* Humboldt squid turn red when angry.
