* ''Series/{{Gladiators}}'': The Gladiator uniforms followed this pattern with the female Gladiators in pink uniforms while the male Gladiators wore blue. The final series dropped this for a gender-neutral red, white and blue color scheme. The [[Series/Gladiators2024 2024 reboot]] returned to the pink and blue scheme, with the uniforms having highlights in the opposite colour to keep things cohesive (i.e. the women wear pink with blue trim and the men wear blue with pink trim).

** Come the post-canon ''Literature/TheHomestuckEpilogues'' and ''Webcomic/Homestuck2'', this is inverted: Roxy, introduced as a girl who types in pink, transitions to male, and WordOfGod says John will eventually transition to female (renaming herself June).

** The titular character is a male hedgehog with blue fur, while Amy Rose is a female hedgehog with pink fur. Since the [[Platform/SegaDreamcast Dreamcast]] era, Amy has been wearing all red to go with her pink fur.

* Inverted in ''VideoGame/{{Darius}}'': Proco wears red white Tiat wears blue.

* Used in the ''WebVideo/CreamHeroes'' merchandise to differentiate Coco (male) and Lala (female) more easily. Coco key chains will sport a pale blue hat while the Lala keychains will wear a pink one.

* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/ChipChilla''. The male chinchillas (Chum Chum, Chip, and Chubbly) have blue fur, while the female ones (Chinny and Charla) have purple fur.

-->''The WesternAnimation/PinkPanther is a girl. If he was a boy he'd be the Blue Panther.''

* Zig-zagged in ''Webcomic/ThePrincess2009'': the title character, Sarah, plays this straight by seeming to move about in a cloud of pink glitter and sparkles. Inverted with her father, who is often seen in a pink shirt while her mother prefers blue. An ironic [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]], given that Sarah is a transgirl.

** The two playable characters of the ''[[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Sonic Rush]]'' games are Sonic and Blaze. The latter is a lavender-furred cat with a purple tailcoat. Her fur turns pink and her coat red when she becomes [[SuperMode Burning Blaze]]. But ultimately, this is averted since Sonic himself becomes yellow upon transforming into his Super Form when they're together onscreen.

** Franchise/WonderWoman often wears reds, while in the ''Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'' her male colleagues dress in blue.

** Franchise/{{Batman}}'s cape and cowl in 80s to 90s was always colored blue (until he changes to black) while ''ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}'' wears her purple catsuit.

** ''Franchise/GreenLantern'': Pink Lanterns who literally use ThePowerOfLove, have (and consist of) female leaders while the Blue Lanterns (Power Of Hope) are led by males.

** 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.]]

** Pink Rangers are always female. Blue Rangers are often male, but have been female a number of times. Out of the most common suit colors (Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Green, Black, and White), Black is the only all-male color so far (except in ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'', see below), although there's only been one full-time female Green as of ''Kyuranger.''
