* ''Fanfic/{{Alicorn}}'': The cultists of the Ascendancy have pitch black magic, implied to be the result of dark magic used to empower them. Rainbow Dash, once she learns how to use it, has pure white magic, interestingly not matching her eyecolour as is common, nor her mother's yellow-gold magic.

Added DiffLines:

* ''TabletopGame/DisneyLorcana'' categorizs its cards into six different colors of ink. The colors represent differing philosophies and mechanical throughlines, and a deck must include no more or less than two colors of ink among its cards.
** Amber is the color of community, providing healing, buffs, and general support.
** Amethyst is for magic and wonder, their cards usually spellcasters or magically animated, and specializes in locking down your opponents and drawing you cards.
** Emerald is the color of flexibility and quick-thinking, with cards that can disrupt your opponent and keep you ready for anything.
** Ruby characters are brave, but also foolhardy, able to rush into battle and challenge your opponents characters with much stronger characters of its own.
** Sapphire is the color of intelligence and creativity, so its cards help you push towards accumulating ink and lore faster than your opponent.
** Steel represents strength and intimidation, using tough characters to protect you while you set up powerful combo turns.

* ''Fanfic/IWokeUpAsADungeonNowWhat'': Each of the seven kinds of spell crystal is a different color, and these are sometimes used as shorthand or by people who can't pronounce the actual spell alignments.

Purple being mentioned twice in a seven-book series does not make it a "signature colour".


* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': Purple seems to be a signature color of Albus Dumbledore.
** ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone Philosopher's Stone]]'': Dumbledore is dressed in a purple cloak when first appearing on Privet Drive, and when the Great Hall is in an uproar at the news of a troll in the castle, he conjures purple fireworks to restore silence.
** ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban Prisoner of Azkaban]]'': When Sirius Black is loose in the castle and the students spend the night in the Great Hall for safety, Dumbledore conjures hundreds of purple sleeping bags so they will be more comfortable.

* ''Literature/InvadersOfTheRokujyouma'': The magic system used in Folsaria is [[{{Homage}} largely modelled]] on ''[[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragonsThirdEdition Dungeons and Dragons 3.5e]]'', using {{Mana}} in one of the seven colours of the rainbow - [[BlackMage Evocation]] (Red), Transmutation (Orange), [[BarrierWarrior Abjuration]] (Yellow), [[{{Seers}} Divination]] + [[MasterOfIllusion Illusion]] (Green), Conjuration + [[HealingHands Healing]] (Blue), [[{{Telepathy}} Enchantment]] (Indigo) and {{Necromancy}} (Violet). It's stated that mastering one colour of magic makes its adjacent colours easier to wield. [[WrongContextMagic Outside of Folsarian understanding]], there also exists White Mana (which can [[MetaPower amplify other mana]] or produce effects that normally require combining multiple schools, but isn't very efficient), Black Mana (which isn't well-described but appears to relate to melee combat) and the dull-grey [[ThePowerOfTheVoid "Whirlpool of Chaos"]].

by color seven [[TheArchmage Archmages]] each associated with a different colour of magic (with protagonist Yurika being the current holder of the Blue seat). However, reaching the status of Archmage requires displaying a high level of proficiency in all schools of magic besides one's specialty.

also White associated with the nine colours of mana, though with most being {{Muggle}}s this is more in the sense of mundane skills that follow their general theme. E.g. their Red representative is an aggressive AcePilot, their Green is TheStrategist, their Orange is a GadgeteerGenius, and Black, magic their Violet is a CuteGhostGirl whose power over souls is largely limited to herself. However, at the climax of the Forthorthian Civil War arc when all nine donate a portion of their souls to reforge the broken Signaltin into the InfinityPlusOneSword Nalfalaren, they awaken "sword crests" on their foreheads which are only very rarely encountered.[[EmpoweredBadassNormal grant them minor magical ability within their respective fields]]. After this they become more aware of their respective mana colours and adopt them as accents in their Satomi Knights uniforms.
