* The ballet adaptations of ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'' usually have similar costume designs in constrasting colours for the two mortal couples, to help the audience to keep track of who is who in the absence of spoken dialogue. Hermia and Lysander are in blue while Helena and Demetrius are in red in George Balanchine's ballet adaptation [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrfiusNHCls (NYC Ballet's 2017 production)]] and vice versa in Frederick Ashton's ballet adaptation titled "The Dream" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3APvyV9q2Q (American Ballet Theatre).]]

* Productions of George Balanchine's ballet adaptation of ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'' usually have similar costume designs in constrasting colours for the four mortal lovers, with Hermia and Lysander usually being in blue and Helena and Demetrius in red, to help the audience to keep track of who is who in the absence of spoken dialogue.

'''Please only list examples that do not fall under one of the above subtropes.'''

* Since {{LetsPlay/Skawo}} has three channels, the text box has a different colour for all three. Red for the main channel, blue for the secondary and green for the third.

** Among the Sharmas, Kate often wears [[TrueBlueFemininity teal]] and/or [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple]], reflecting her assertive and bold traits, while Edwina prefers [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] or peach, signifying her sweet and ladylike nature. [[spoiler: This also foreshadows that it is Kate not Edwina, who is a match for Anthony, as teal and purple fit much better with the Bridgteron blue colour scheme than pink and peach.]]

* ''Series/TheWheelOfTime'': Aes Sedai wear clothes of the color of their respective Ajah[[note]]red, yellow, brown, green, blue, white, gray[[/note]] as well as colored stones in their rings. Accordingly, the White Tower graduates, who did not become Aes Sedai, wear rings without stones. In the books wearing the Ajah color was common, but never obligatory. And rings had no stones.

In addition, to the audience, this trope may be used in-Universe so that the ''characters'' can easily tell the difference between groups or things.

** First of all, each of the four dimensions is associated with a main colour: red for Standard, purple for Fusion, green for Synchro and blue for Xyz. This tends to get referenced in indirect ways, such as the Dimensional Dragons glowing in their respective colours, or the users of the various summoning methods having a hint of those colours in their appearance.
** Duel Academy still follows the Red/Yellow/Blue theme from above, with the addition of purple for the highest ranks (teachers, elite members etc). This in turn, with the rare -- and justified -- exception, makes it very easy to identify its current or former members. It also serves are {{Foreshadowing}} in some cases.

** Finally, a number of duelists include a hint of their summoning methods in their clothing. For example Gogenzaka, Yaiba, Yugo and [[spoiler:Jack Atlas]] (Synchro users) all dress primarily in white, the Xyz users follow a very dark colour motif, or the two Ritual users wear something blue.

* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'': The three dorms in Duel Academia, Osiris Red, Ra Yellow, and Obelisk Blue, reflect the test scores and prestige of their respective students. Ra Yellow for instance is for students who took the High School exam and achieved a good score. In season 4, the Academia Duel Disks are replaced by newer models that match the colors of the respective dorms and they serve as true indicators of who belongs to which dorm, since it would be impossible to guess that Manjoume (who wears a black coat that has nothing to do with the school's attire) and Rei (who still wears the Osiris Red uniform) have been promoted to Obelisk Blue in that season.

* ''LightNovel/IveBeenKillingSlimesFor300YearsAndMaxedOutMyLevel'': {{Hand Wave}}d regarding the [[CuteSlimeMook slimes]] that Azusa kills every day for petty cash -- dark-colored slimes are good; light-colored slimes are evil and fair game for slaughter. What exactly could account for the moral compass of a non-sapient blob is left unexplained.

*** In ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', while all Starfleet officers wore the same red uniform, they wore undershirts in differing colors signifying which division they belonged to: Command (white), Science (gray), Operations (gold), Medical (light green) Security (dark green), Special Services (light blue), and Trainees/Cadets (red)
