Individual monikers(such as [[Series/PowerRangersZeo Zeo 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.

* Referenced in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'', where some civilians address Sam as "Black Falcon" instead of just ComicBook/TheFalcon. As it comes from people who are also Black, Sam takes it in good humor and just playfully teases them about the mistake.

* The [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} 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.
