History Main / PinkGirlBlueBoy

** Fisher Price's WesternAnimation/LittlePeople toys and playsets usually avert this, with characters wearing whatever they realistically would. However, Fisher-Price has started making all-pink sets. These are recolors of other molds that have more realistic colors.

* In the two games made by Dreaming Games, ''VideoGame/DreamingMary'' and (the currently in-development) ''Blue Dreams'', heavily emphasizes on the colors pink for the female protagonist in the former game and, well, blue for the male protagonist in the latter.

* Wind Mice from the ''VideoGame/WildArms'' series fall into this, with male Wind Mice being pale blue (Hanpan from the first game, Issac from the anime) and female Wind Mice being a soft pink (Fille from ''VideoGame/WildArmsMillionMemories'', Jerusha from the anime).

* Sanrio's [[Franchise/HelloKitty ''Little Twin Stars'']] [[http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/c0/90/30/c0903035efc3d3151bb7ce33facc8c3b.jpg is a classic example: just look at their hair.]]
* In all Franchise/{{Lego}} products, the boys's sets are advertised in blue boxes and the girls's sets are in pink boxes and consist of pink bricks. This has caused multiple complaints from girls and grown women alike, saying Lego shouldn't discriminated in their products.

* All Malibu toys sell ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'' toys in vibrant pink.
* Many toys from V-Tech usually also fall squarely into this trope- many toys come in both pink for girls and blue for boys, and the only difference is the toy color. Other toys from the company tend to come in regular non-pastel shaded colors for boys, but still have a pink version aimed squarely at young girls.

* Toys/{{Squishmallows}}: The original squad has a pair of penguins named Puff and Piper. Puff, the blue one, is a boy; Piper, the pink one, is a girl.

%%* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': More often a case of The GirlyGirl wears pink and the {{Tomboy}} wears blue. (Example lacks context)

* ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'': In this [[http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81vr-CA7rhL.jpg manga cover.]]

* ''Manga/YuGiOh'': The school uniforms have the boys wearing blue jackets and pants and the girls wearing pink blazers.
* ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'': Yugo and Rin have this dynamic when wearing their street clothes. Yugo has a blue t-shirt while Rin has a pink top.
** The 6th ending of the series gives us this [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/7c3d9abf0711d2570e48970caa9f64d8/tumblr_ofjfum0Efx1vqm6upo1_500.png shot,]] can you make out the blue and pink sillhouettes on the bottom? [[spoiler:those are Zarc and Ray respectively the "originals" from whom the [[IdenticalStranger dimensional]] [[{{Reincarnation}} counterparts]] all got split from]]

** Two of the signature monsters of the series are Rathian and Rathalos, green and red wyverns that are respectively the female and male of the same species. Among the first subspecies you run into in most games from ''[[MonsterHunter2004 Monster Hunter G]]'' onwards are Pink Rathian and Azure (blue) Rathalos.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

** A zig-zagged example appears in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade''; While Roy and Lilina's outfits play this trope straight, as they wear blue and red respectively, their hair colours invert it instead. Only their eyes stay consistently blue, though.

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'':

*** Played straight with Finn [=McMissile=] and Holly Shiftwell from the sequel. As with the kissing couple seen on the bridge in Paris.

* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'': Toyed with in regards to the two {{model couple}}s: for [[BodyguardCrush Lina and Gourry]], the latter wears blue while the former wears a light shade of magenta. For [[ShipTease Zelgadis and Amelia]], the latter is a princess who has both a pink dress for diplomatic duties and a modest traveling outfit with some pink touches, while the former is a chimera who literally has blue ([[AdaptationDyeJob or blue-green]]) colored skin.

* ''LightNovel/{{Sukisho}}'': A BL example are the title characters -- with the {{uke}} having pink hair and eyes, while the {{seme}} has blue.

* Discussed in WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/nostalgia-chick/16616-the-smurfette-principle analysis]] of the original ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' cartoon, referring to both {{A|ction Girl}}rcee and [[LadyOfWar Elita One]]. Elita One was the DistaffCounterpart of Optimus Prime, and so (leader/girl) pink to his (leader) red and (boy) blue coloring. Elita One's AmazonBrigade otherwise had nothing with the trope, her soldiers appearing in all kinds of colours. Arcee, being [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the one girl]] starting the third season, was pink, and so was her (intended) love interest Hot Rod in a magenta shade ("aging" to red when he became Rodimus Prime). From there, the trope gets interesting in that pink is a noticeable colour choice among the Autobot females, but also among the Decepticon males (though not much in the cartoon because that ended long before the toyline did). [[BigEater Hun-Grrr]], [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Misfire]], the {{Sea| Monster}}cons, [[BigEater Skullcruncher]], Spinister, Fangry, Gaihawk, Barricade, Roller Force, and Horri-Bull, among others, all sport a good level of pink. Blue is more equally divided between the factions.
* Meredith Gran, who does the webcomic ''Webcomic/OctopusPie'', also did a little animated cartoon about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eO1aasHyTM a boy and a girl up in the Arctic.]]

* ''Website/{{Neopets}}'': On user/pet lookups and user forum posts, the gender attribute display uses blue text for "Male" and pink text for "Female". (The "Other" gender option for users that was later added uses black text.)

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':

** Misty is red haired and wears red suspenders while Ash wears a blue jacket and pants.

** Latias and Latios (twin dragons and legendary Pokemon) are red/female and blue/male, respectively.
** Starting from the third generation onward, the font color on certain game menus (like the save screen) will be either blue or red/pink depending on whether the player character is male or female, respectively. In the fourth-generation games, the Poketch and the Pokegear are similarly color-coded. Also, the text of [=NPCs=] in ''[=FireRed=]'' and ''[=LeafGreen=]'' will change color depending on their gender -- red for girls, blue for boys, black for Pokemon and computers.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' has the Water/Ghost jellyfish Jellicent. Males are blue with a large mustache, while females are pink, lack a mustache, and [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics have lipstick and eyelashes]]. The same goes for their pre-evolution forms, Frillish, which are blue when male and pink when female. Male Frillish also have an perpetually angry expression, while females are all smiles.

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': More often a case of TheChick wears pink and the {{Tomboy}} wears blue.

** Also, while the Pink Ranger is usually TheChick, some seasons have been subverting this (starting with ''Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger'' and ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce'', where Pink is the real team leader even if Red gets the official recognition). The most common inversion comes on teams with two girls, where Pink will be the level-headed CoolBigSis while Yellow will be TheDitz.

If there are TwoGirlsToATeam and one is represented by pink, the other girl will usually be represented by [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple]]. A purple girl can be a {{goth}}, {{tomboy}}, or ProperLady, while the pink girl is usually TheChick and/or a GenkiGirl. Purple has a variety of associations, not limited to PurpleIsPowerful and GracefulLadiesLikePurple -- it's also indicative of nobility and, by extension, nobility of character.

!!Examples:

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
** From the episode "The Silent King", regarding a blue mirror, "And it's painted baby blue, boy style!"
** In terms of the show, Finn is a Blue Boy to the Pink Girl Bubblegum. Also red/yellow flame Princess.

** Inverted in [[GenderFlip "Fionna and Cake"]], however, which has Fionna as the Blue Girl to Prince Gumball's Pink Boy.

*** Inverted again with [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/de/19/e3/de19e3ba7af4b1e7fdcc65c4e297a58d.jpg Korra and the boys.]] Asami Sato, the most feminine of the team [[spoiler:and later Korra's primary love interest]], wears red.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'': Uniqua the pink CartoonCreature and Pablo the [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife blue penguin]].
* ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'': The episode "A Scent, A Memory, A Far Distant Cheese" featured a giant monster couple named Gorgonzola and Munsterella. Gorgonzola was male and aqua, while Munsterella was female and magenta.
* ''WesternAnimation/BlazeAndTheMonsterMachines'': Inverted with AJ and Gabby. He wears red, while she wears blue.
* ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'': Zigzags this -- Blue is blue and female, but Magenta, who is pink, is also female. Their male friend Periwinkle is ''blueish-purple'' (a shade of blue).
* ''WesternAnimation/BubbleGuppies'': [[RoseHairedSweetie Molly]] and Gil. Bonus points for being not only the two characters featured most prominently, but also an ''extremely'' [[ShipTease played with]] PuppyLove.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'': Inverted. [[https://travelpaws.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1540818411_maxresdefault-1024x576.jpg Trevor wears red colors while Sypha has a blue robe.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGobots'': The two-part episode "Renegade Rampage" featured a pair of young Trindles consisting of a boy clad in blue named Trevor and a girl clad in pink named Troilene.
* ''WesternAnimation/CliffordsPuppyDays'': Zo wears a pink collar while her brother Flo wears a blue one.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'': Caprice the pink girl and Marylin the blue boy, mostly from their nose and clothing colors (Caprice also has a pink hair streak).
** Inverted between Pfff and Cassandra on nose colors at least. Pfff isn't anymore pink while Cassandra's hair and clothes have shades of blue.
* ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'': The main cast of dragons (assuming you count Quetzal as supporting) is certainly this way. Ord is blue; Cassie is pink. Zak and Wheezie, who are a two-headed dragon, are divided colorwise ''down the middle'': the Zak half is green, while the Wheezie half is purple.
* Averted in ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'' with the characters Fluffy and Uranus. Despite one being pink and the other blue, nobody knows what gender they are, not even ''themselves''.
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': Sarah wears a pink tank top while her friend Jimmy wears a light blue sweater.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'':
** Timmy Turner's clothes are all pink in-universe because his parents were expecting a girl. In reality, Creator/ButchHartman had intended for them (or at least his hat) to be blue, but when his blue marker ran out before he could finish, he had to use a pink one instead.
** "Dream Goat!" gives us Chompy's boy and girl goat kids, who wear the respective colors.
* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'': Inverted. Quinn's space suit is blue, while Gary's is red.
** Played straight with Little Cato (whose mohawk is dyed cyan) and Ash Graven (who has purple hair).
* ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'': In the original series, James wore a dark blue sweater, blue jeans and blue shoes, while his twin sister Sarah wore pink dungarees and pink shoes.
* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': Pink girl Berry falls in love with blue boy Bloo.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'': The gargoyles' eyes will actually glow a different color depending on that gargoyle's gender: females' eyes glow red, while males' glow white. Inverted with the clones, however. There's a good reason why all the females have glowing red eyes: originally, [[BigBad Demona]] was going to be the only red-eyed gargoyle, but since the show's writers did not want to make her role as the villain more obvious, they changed it so that ''every'' single female gargoyle has red eyes and not Demona.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'': Male ghosts are usually blue or green, while female ghosts are pink or purple. Exceptions would be Howlin' Harriet who is green and Sonia Davis who is blue, [[spoiler:and Molly, who takes on a bright gold ghost form in the Season 1 finale.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/GhostForce'': One of the male co-leads, Mike, has electric blue highlights on his outfit, while the female co-lead Liv has pink ones instead.
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
** Dipper wears a blue and white hat and a blue vest; Mabel [[UnlimitedWardrobe isn't as consistent]] but frequently wears pink/purple/red clothes.
** Dipper and Mabel's beds are sometimes [[https://giphy.com/gifs/gravity-falls-O2sUWenI4F9M4 shown with a blue blanket and a pink blanket, respectively.]]
** In "[[Recap/GravityFallsS1E8IrrationalTreasure Irrational Treasure]]", when Dipper and Mabel "break in" the Gravity Falls Museum of History, the woman working at the front door gives them free day passes as well as two balloons; she hands a pink one to Mabel and a blue one to Dipper. (When Sherrif Blubs and Deputy Durland show up, Durland is extremely dejected when the woman says that there are no pink ballons left.)
** In the third act of "[[Recap/GravityFallsS2E5SoosAndTheRealGirl Soos And The Real Girl]]", Mabel wears a hat that resembles Dipper's, but it's pink with a heart detail.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'': Billy's outfit consists of blue pants and a white shirt with a blue stripe, while Mandy wears a pink dress.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'': Corey Riffin and his BigSisterBully Trina, who have blue hair and pink hair respectively.
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'':
** Harold and Helga, who are the two main bullies of the fourth grade, are represented with blue and pink, respectively. However, Helga often calls Harold "pink boy" in reference to his ruddy skin tone.
** Arnold is also regularly associated with blue, due to his jumper and hat (he also wears a blue jacket in ''The Jungle Movie''). Helga has a crush on him and they're arguably the two main characters.
* ''WesternAnimation/IHeartArlo'' gives us the pink furball Furlecia and the blue reverse merman Marcellus.
* ''WesternAnimation/JellyJamm'': Rita and Mina fit the "pink girly girl, blue tomboy" subtrope. Averted with the male characters, however, as two are purple and one is red.

* ''ComicStrip/KrazyKat'': {{Inverted|Trope}} in the TV series. Ignatz Mouse (the boy) is pink while Krazy Kat (the girl) is blue. [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife They were similarly colored]] in the original comic strip but, as [[AmbiguousGender Krazy's gender was ambiguous]], this trope did not come into play at all.
* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'':
** Stitch is blue and Angel (#624 and his love interest) is pink.
** Lilo also has the red Hawaiian dress while Stitch is blue.
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': In the cartoon "Bewitched Bunny", Literature/HanselAndGretel appear. Hansel wears blue lederhosen, while Gretel wears a pink dress and pink hair-bow.
* ''WesternAnimation/MakingFiends'': Both inverted and played straight with Charlotte. She's a stereotypical, over-the-top caricature of everything [[{{Moe}} adorable]] and annoying about the archetypal American little girl, but has baby blue as her [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation color]] and motif. Still, she seems to love pink as much as expected, as almost all of her possessions are pink.
* ''WesternAnimation/MrBogus'': The title character wears a pair of blue shorts, while his less-recurring cousin, Bogetta, wears a pink dress.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Princess Cadance and Shining Armor as one of the few [[OfficialCouple canon couples]] in the series.
** When the newborn Cake twins are introduced, their swaddling clothes are blue for colt Pound Cake and pink for filly Pumpkin Cake.
* ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'': Simultaneously played the trope straight and inverted it in the short "Twins Crimson and Those Amazing Robots". Bene is a boy with blue hair and a blue shirt who also wears a pink scarf, while his twin sister Beckette has pink hair and a pink dress in addition to wearing a blue ribbon in her hair.
* ''WesternAnimation/PacManAndTheGhostlyAdventures'' has Inky who is a male blue ghost and Pinky who is a female pink ghost.
** Averted in the ''WesternAnimation/{{PacMan}} 1982 cartoon'' where Pinky was male instead.
* ''WesternAnimation/PetAlien'': The [[MultipleHeadCase two-headed alien]] Shank and Dank features this color scheme. Shank, the female head, has a pink neck while Dank, the male head, has a blue neck.
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Downplayed with Isabella and Phineas (or at least from Phineas' end, whose main ColorMotif consists of mostly orange): Phineas wears blue shorts and blue shoes while Isabella wears a pink dress, pink shoes and pink hairbow.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocoyo}}'': In the episode where he meets an alien, when the alien's parents turn up, the {{Narrator}} addresses the pink alien as the "Mummy Alien". The Alien then gives an angry look at the screen and the Narrator corrects himself, realizing it's the "Daddy Alien".
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'': {{Zigzagged}} with Bentley and Lisa. Bentley wears a light blue shirt while Lisa wears a pink shirt, pink sneakers, and a pink hair tie with blue pants and suspenders. Played straight with their bedrooms; Bentley's has blue walls and Lisa's has pink walls.
* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Sean and Sydney usually wear green and grey, respectively, but in the winter episodes, Sean wears a blue jacket while Sydney wears a pink jacket.
* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': Mordecai is a blue jay and Margaret is a red-breasted robin (filling in for Pink).

* ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer'': The ChristmasElves' outfits follow this trope.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'': Downplayed with Phil and Lil, the [=DeVille=] twins. Phil wears blue shoes and has a pair of blue shorts under his overalls, while Lil wears pink shoes and a pink bow on her head.
* Creator/SethMacFarlane seems to love this trope, as evidenced by the characters in his shows through their LimitedWardrobe:
** ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': Francine wears a pink sundress and her husband Stan wears a navy blue suit.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'': Kendra wears a pink top and her husband Lester wears denim pants and vest.
** ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
*** Meg's shirt is pink and her brother Chris wears a blue one.
*** Both Peter and Lois’ signature wardrobe features green. However, Peter has blue pajamas and Lois a pink nightie.
*** Lois’ father Carter often wears a blue suit and her mother Barbara wears a red dress.
*** Tom Tucker usually wears a blue suit, while his anchor partner Diane Simmons wears a red one.
*** Parodied in a cutaway gag where a talking blue car is hitting on a pink car but realizes that it's his buddy, whose owner gave him a paint job. Though, at the last second of that particular CutawayGag, it is implied that the pink car is gay/bi, at least.
* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'': [[ShipTease Daphne Blake and Fred Jones]]. Fred's signature outfit includes him wearing a shirt with a blue collar and blue pants where as Daphne is usually depicted wearing pink leggings, though her ColorMotif is mostly purple (her attire is much more pink in ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'' which plays the trope much more straight).
* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': [[spoiler:While posing as the female-presenting Flutterina, the non-binary Double Trouble's skin is pink; while impersonating the male-presenting Peekablue, their skin is blue]].
* ''WesternAnimation/SheZow'': Invertes. The [[WholesomeCrossdresser titular hero]] wears a overwhelmingly-pink and feminine dress while his DistaffCounterpart [=DudePow=] wears a blue, masculine-looking bodysuit.
* ''WesternAnimation/SidneyTheElephant'': The title character was a male elephant who was blue. He falls for a pink elephant girl named Hortense at the end of the short "Sidney's Family Tree".

** Bart and Lisa’s formal wear: When the family dresses up for formal occasions, Bart frequently wears a blue suit while Lisa wears a pink dress.
*** When both got temporarily transferred to the 3rd grade, and the class took a field trip to Capitol City, Marge got them “matching fanny packs” for the trip (Bart’s was green and Lisa’s pink).
** In ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS17E19GirlsJustWantToHaveSums Girls Just Want To Have Sums]]'', Principal Skinner is fired for his unintentionally sexist comments and tone-deaf efforts to publicly atone for them. His successor divides Springfield Elementary by gender, with the outside of the girl’s half painted pink and the boys’ blue.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': Stan wears a blue hat with a red poofball on top. His girlfriend Wendy wears a pink beret.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': {{Inverted|Trope}}. Steven's associated colour is pink, while his friend Connie's associated colour is blue.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeamUmizoomi'': Milli and Geo respectively.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'':
** Prior to her repaint in Season 21, Rosie was a female pink tank engine. This was especially noticeable when she was seen with Thomas, a blue tank engine.
** Thomas also has a similar dynamic with Ashima, an Indian tank engine prominently featured in ''[[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriendsTheGreatRace The Great Race]]'', due to the latter also being pink.
* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'': Buster is a blue bunny, and Babs is a pink one, and (even though they say that they're not related) sometimes they'll even break out matching props.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': Inverted. Geoff wears a pink shirt while his girlfriend Bridgette wears a blue hoodie.

* ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'': Yin and Yang are a pink bunny and a blue bunny respectively as well.

* The French were happy with a girl in pink and boy in blue by 1823, as childbirth should be "announced in this manner, and when the pincushion is pink background, this is a sign of the coming into this world a little girl, while the blue background pelotte announces that it is a boy." (La Cour de Hollande sous le règne de Louis Bonaparte, by Athanase Garnier, 1823)[[https://books.google.com/books?id=0H6uf1bBXccC&pg=PA163#v=onepage&q&f=false]]
* By the 1880s it was established that pink was generally for girls, while blue was for boys [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_sources_for_pink_and_blue_as_gender_signifiers in Anglo-Saxon countries]].

** Android 18 has pink Ki blasts and in the Budokai games, her Destructo Disc is also pink, none of which lessens her fame as badass FemmeFatale turned ActionGirl/Mom. Also when Trunks was talking about Androids 17 and 18 they are represented [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/8/8c/Twins1%28Ep132%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20120213191525 in red and blue]]

* ''Anime/MacrossDelta'' has TheHero Hayate associated with blue (his Valkyrie is painted blue, he has blue hair with a blue flight suit) and the IdolSinger Freyja associated with pink and red (her Rune is pink, and her Walkure uniform is primarily red with pink and yellow highlights). Fittingly for the trope, [[spoiler: these two eventually become the OfficialCouple.]]

** {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Naruto's parents, [[https://dailyanimeart.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/minato-naruto-and-kushina-uzumaki-family.jpg Minato and Kushina]].

** [[spoiler: Koala and Sabo.]]

* ''Anime/{{Trigun}}'': Inverted [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1f/c3/9a/1fc39aa6c742361fd04407ebed91a192.jpg with Vash and Meyrl]].

[[spoiler: those are Zarc and Ray respectively the "originals" from whom the [[IdenticalStranger dimensional]] [[{{Reincarnation}} counterparts]] all got split from]]

** While Franchise/SpiderMan has both red ''and'' blue in his costume while living as Peter Parker, Spidey often just wears blue which of course goes with scarlet-haired and dressed Mary Jane Watson. Best showcased in their teen make-out session in [[http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/37600000/Ultimate-spider-man-peter-parker-and-mary-jane-watson-37655845-1280-974.jpg Ultimate]]

* ''Power Rangers: Shuriken Force'': Defied , where there is a Blue and a Pink Ranger, only Blue is a woman and Pink is a man. It's quite explicit as TheMentor personally gave them their colors.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Trolls}}'': Poppy is a pink Troll and her eventual love interest, [[spoiler: Branch]], turns out to be a blue troll [[spoiler: but he faded into grey from his grandmother's death]].

** Willow usually dressed in red to match her hair while Xander wears blues or greens, [[http://mysticmuse.net/images/gallerypics1/willxan000.jpg seen here]].

** An unsubtle but no less sweet example would be [[https://img.etsystatic.com/il/a10a62/1096001813/il_570xN.1096001813_53m6.jpg?version=2 Eleven in her dress and Mike]].

** Inverted with Liu Kang and his love interest Kitana. [[https://cdn.jabx.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/MK11-Kitana-Liu-Kang-Romance-Current-Timeline-Mortal.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 He usually wears red while she wears blue]].

* Milla and Jude, the dual protagonists of ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' are colour-coded this way, reflected in both their outfits and the colour of the game menu depending on which of their routes is currently being played. Inverted by the BigBadDuumvirate, in a deliberate attempt to contrast them with the heroes: [[spoiler: Muzet wears light blue and white to contrast Jude's dark blue and black outfit, and Gaius wears dark red and black to contrast Milla's pink]].

* [[http://www.slate.com/blogs/behold/2013/04/09/jeongmee_yoon_the_pink_and_blue_project_examines_the_gender_specific_marketing.html The Pink and Blue Project]], an artwork in South Korea.

Her fur turns pink and her coat red when she becomes [[SuperMode Burning Blaze]]. Averted since Sonic himself becomes yellow upon transforming into his Super Form when they're together onscreen.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Downplayed with Isabella and Phineas (or at least from Phineas' end): Phineas wears blue shorts and blue shoes while Isabella wears a pink dress, pink shoes and pink hairbow.
