[[File:blues_clues_top_8639blues clues top 8639.jpg|link=Blue's Clues|frame|[[Meaningful Name|Guess why they call her]] "Blue".]]
 
Sometimes, humans in animation and video games have [[Amazing Technicolor Population|decidedly non-standard skin colors.]] Instead of being tan and brown, they'll be green, gray, and purple. But they're not the only ones--sometimesones—sometimes, animators have a bit of fun when designing ''animals'' as well. And thus, the world is filled with [['''Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]'''.
 
Animals are a bit different from humans--ahumans—a lot of them ''do'' come in wilder, more flamboyant colors, especially in tropical areas. Animals use bright colors as a way of saying "Don't eat me! I'm poisonous!" or "Look at me! Aren't I a ''sexy beast?''," or even for reasons we're not quite sure of. However, not ''all'' animals come in strange colors--acolors—a lot of mammals tend to be the same grayish and yellowish and brownish and reddish colors we humans are, with the brightest colors reserved for birds, insects, and fish. (A few reptiles here and there, too.) And while no one would bat their eye at a blue peacock with green tailfeathers, a ''red'' peacock with bright purple tail feathers would be [[Somewhere an Ornithologist Is Crying|distinctly more unusual]]. For instance, there is no green in mammals (unless you count fur tinted green because of algae) and blue is only found in a few mammal species (unless you count greyish-blue or a blue sheen). It just doesn't exist naturally.
 
Sometimes animators exaggerate the range of colors, patterns, and markings found on each species of animal in [[Real Life]]. Several species of penguin, like the [[wikipedia:File:Fairy penguin.jpg|Fairy Penguin]], have a naturally blue sheen to their feathers, but many animated penguins tend to be bright blue. There are other minor [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality|Acceptable Breaks From]] from the range of colors, markings, and patterns each species of animal can have in [[Real Life]], like solid-colored, non-tabby red cats.
 
Other times, they're outright strange. [[Blue's Clues|Blue dogs]], [[Tiny Toon Adventures|pink]] [[The Amazing World of Gumball|rabbits]], [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy|pink alligators]], [[My Cage|orange sharks]], and [[Phineas and Ferb|teal-colored platypodes]] abound.
Little songbirds which are dull-colored in [[Real Life]] may be depicted as brightly colored; in a more subtle version, [[Crows and Ravens]] are often shown [[Typical Cartoon Animal Colors|with yellow beaks and feet, though retaining their all-black plumage]].
 
[[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]]s in particular seem to be prone.
 
Compare [[Pink Elephants]] -- (if the colored wildlife is actually odd in the setting, expect a character to regard it as that trope) and [[Amazing Technicolor Population]] (a similar trope for people).

== DistinctOther and[[Acceptable OutrightBreaks From Reality|Subtle and StrangeMinor]] Examples: ==
=== Live Action TV ===
* Fozzie from ''[[The Muppets]]'' is a ''bright orange'' bear (although he referred to himself as "light brown" in one episode)
 
 
=== Theatre ===
* Most productions of Cats portray Bombalurina as a bright red cat. As in scarlet.
 
 
=== Video Games ===
* Spitz the cat from ''[[Wario Ware]]'' has [[The Simpsons (animation)|Simpson]]-yellow fur.
 
 
=== Western Animation ===
* Applejack from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' is orange with an yellow mane and tail.
* Plucky Duck from ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' is green, but a green duck is not that strange. Not counting the [[wikipedia:Mallard|male Mallard]], which is only green on its head, there's the [[wikipedia:Cayuga Duck|Cayuga]].
* ''[[The Backyardigans]]'' features an orange moose named Tyrone and a blue penguin named Pablo.
* The five major animal characters in ''[[Littlest Pet Shop (animation)|Littlest Pet Shop]]'' include a blue dog, a purple cat, a pink rabbit and a yellow horse. Only the brown monkey has a normal fur color.
* Bullwinkle J. Moose from ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'' is orange.
* Larry the Lobster from ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''. Yes, lobsters can be red, but not live lobsters...only cooked ones. May be a case of [[The Coconut Effect]].
 
 
=== Real Life ===
* At ''least'' some breeds of [[wikipedia:Kerry Blue Terrier|dogs]] and cats come in unusual colors. And both already have a long list of colors documented.
 
 
== Distinct and Outright Strange Examples ==
=== Anime ===
* ''[[Kimba the White Lion]]'' has [[Punny Name|Ali]], a baby pink alligator.
Line 70 ⟶ 96:
* ''Elmer the Patchwork Elephant''
* Accidentally applied to a village full of [[Funny Animal]] wading birds in ''[[Spellsinger|Chorus Skating]]'', when Jon-Tom magically re-grows their lost feathers by revising the lyrics of songs about custom paint jobs on cars. Luckily, the altered birds get a real kick out of their new makeovers.
* The lost homeworld of the Giants in James P. Hogan's ''Giants'' novels had wildlife in a literal rainbow of colors and a cornucopia of designs and patterns, to thesuch a degree that the Earth scientists who came across atheir first realistic depiction thereof assumed it had to be artwork for a child's room. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] by the ecosystem's [[Bizarre Alien Biology]], which had developed in such a way so as to select ''against'' the evolution of predators while still providing for their population control function; consequently, coloration never became a trait critical to survival.
 
 
=== Live Action TV ===
* Spanish show ''El Perro Verde'' was a interview program that featured, indeed, a green dog.
* Some of the characters on ''[[The Muppet Show]]''. Sure, you had a green frog (Kermit) and a pink pig (Piggy). Rowlf was a brown dog - not too far-fetched there. But how does one explain Gonzo the Great as....uh....some kind of...."turkey-anteater" with cornflower-blue....uh...."covering"?
* [[Captain Bluebear]], who is a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|blue bear]], and his three grandkids, who are pink, yellow and green respectively.
* ''[[The Pajanimals]]'' features a green dog, an orange horse, a blue duck, and a purple cow.
Line 88 ⟶ 113:
 
=== Tabletop Games ===
* Just open a ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' Monster Manual or similar setting supplement. Even if you entirely ignore the various "magical" monsters borrowed from mythology (such as the couatl, a feathered serpent based on depictions of Quetzalcoatl, an Aztec god) and the [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|color-coded dragons]] you will find e.g. an amazing technicolor dream-coated wolf with feathered wings instead of front legs ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171120000915/http://www.headinjurytheater.com/images/d&d%26d%20beasts%20%20senmurv%20gay%20pride.jpg the Senmurv]), and Tribex, horned beasts of burden that resemble African antelopes but with a bright blue stripe along its flank instead of a brown stripe (in the ''[[Eberron]]'' setting).
 
 
=== Theatre ===
* In [[The_Jungle_Animals_Are_Insane|The Jungle Animals Are Insane]], there are a red elephant, purple rhino and pink hippo.
 
 
Line 100 ⟶ 125:
 
=== Video Games ===
* Many of the animal townsfolk in ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' are peculiarly colored, in almost every color imaginable. The quickest example? A bear called Bluebear. Guess what color she is.
* A lot of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' characters fall under this category. Sonic in particular is famous for being a "blue hedgehog" ("The Blue Blur" being his nickname), but there are also pink, black and silver hedgehogs, purple cats, red echidnas, yellow polar bears, green tufted ducks, black armadillos with red shells, purple weasels, green hawks, the list goes on and on.
** A piece of information present in several Sonic continuities explain that Sonic's blue colour was the result of him breaking the sound barrier for the first time, turning him blue. This may make sense if blue is an unusual colour for an animal in the Sonic universe (if animals in red, yellow, orange and green are considered "normal").
Line 114 ⟶ 139:
* In the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]].'' games, there's the Yoshi species, which comes in a rainbow variety of colors.
** Come to think of it, the Koopas [turtles] tend to be multicoloured as well, starting in the first game with the red ones.
* There are some pretty funky ''[[Pokémon]]'' examples. True, they're technically not animals, but most are [[Intelligent Gerbil|based on animals]]. A yellow mouse,<ref>the Pikachu line</ref>, a blue turtle,<ref>the Squirtle line</ref>, a yellow and a blue duck/platypus,<ref>the Psyduck line</ref>, a white kangaroo.<ref> Kangaskhan and her joey</ref>. And that's just the first generation of mons! Yeah, those critters cover the spectrum and back.
** It also applied to the fictional critters themselves with the shiny Pokémon.
* The orca that ferries you around in ''[[Okami]]'' is a pastel color.
* ''[[FarmvilleFarmVille]]'', the [[Facebook]] game, has this in spades. The colors also [[Law of Chromatic Superiority|determine the relative value]] of each of your farm critters.
* The bunnykids ([[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit]]'s children) from [[Epic Mickey]] are bright cyan.
* ''[[Pokémon]]'' has a lot of different strange creatures in all kind of colors, usually color-coded based on where they fall in the 17-part [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]] system. Some elements tend to be brighter than others- Fire types tend to be bright red, for instance, whereas Ground types tend towards earth tones. Some types don't follow this though (Normal and dragon types don't really have a color trend. Flying types are always (until recently) dual-typed and also have no real color trend.)
Line 138 ⟶ 163:
 
=== Western Animation ===
* ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' - The Cheshire Cat from the [[Disney Animated Canon]] version of ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Alice in Wonderland]]''.
* ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' had Buster (blue) and Babs (pink) Bunny (no relation), Furball (blue cat), Dizzy Devil (a purple Tasmanian Devil), and Fifi (purple skunk), among other animals with strange colors.
* In ''[[All Dogs Go to Heaven]]'' - Charlie and Anne Marie meet up with Flo to deliver pizza to her litter of orphaned puppies. Some of the said puppies are blue, pink, yellow, and bright green.
* ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' - Has blue cats and pink rabbits. However, they don't really look like cats or rabbits. Someone who is seeing the show or characters for the first time might actually mistake them for anthropomorphic gumballs.
* ''[[Blue's Clues]]'', of course: Many of the animals are unusually-colored, and tend to be named after their color. Examples: Blue, Magenta, and Green (all dogs), and Periwinkle (a cat).
* ''[[The yellowBackyardigans]]'' hippo,- Tasha, and(a theyellow purplehippo) kangaroo,and Austin, from(a ''[[Thepurple kangaroo). Backyardigans]]''
* ''[[Blue's Clues]]'' - Many of the animals are unusually-colored, and tend to be named after their color. Examples: Blue, Magenta, Green (all dogs), and Periwinkle (a cat).
* "Kevin" from ''[[Up]]'' is a 13-foot flightless bird with bright, iridescent plumage that, while not unusual for tropical birds, is nearly nonexistent among large flightless birds.
* ''[[Care Bears]]'' - And on the subject of cartoon bears, both the ''[[Care Bears]]'' and the Care Bear Cousins were bright, often pastel, colors.
* In ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'', Billy's cat has pink fur.
* ''[[Eek! The Cat]]'' - The titular character has purple fur, his girlfriend Annabelle is pink, and Sharky the Sharkdog is gray. Also, The Incredible Elmo is brown, and Mittens is blue colored.
* The Cheshire Cat from the [[Disney Animated Canon]] version of ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Alice in Wonderland]]''.
* In ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'', - Cosmo and Wanda retain their hair color for some of the animals into which they can transform. Their hair colors are green and pink, respectively.
* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]'' - Billy's cat has pink fur.
* The ''[[Gummi Bears]]'' were actually small, mystical creatures, and not actual bears, but they were still as brightly colored as their namesake candy.
* ''[[Gummi Bears]]'' - The ''[[Gummi Bears]]'' were actually small, mystical creatures, and not actual bears, but they were still as brightly colored as their namesake candy.
* And on the subject of cartoon bears, both the ''[[Care Bears]]'' and the Care Bear Cousins were bright, often pastel, colors.
* ''[[The Lion King]]'' - Averted for the most part in ''[[The Lion King]]'', but played straight during the song "I Just Can't Wait to be King."
* Cyrill and Cedric Sneer from ''[[The Raccoons]]'' are pink aardvarks. The show's creator did this so that kids wouldn't think real aardvarks were mean and miserly.
* ''[[My Little Pony]]'' - The titular equines of ''[[My Little Pony]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' come in all the colors of the rainbow and then some.
** Are you seriously telling me that they were worried about anti-aardvark bigotry?
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'''s pet [[Everything's Better With Platypus|platypus]], Perry, is teal-colored with an orange bill. In a recent episode, it seems like ''all'' platypodes (in Danville, at least?) are the same color as theirs. According to [[Word of God]], [[Viewers are Morons|most viewers don't know much about the platypus, so they can take artistic license with the species]].
*** [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]].
* ''[[The Problem Solverz]]'' - Bad Cat has rainbow stripes and his henchmen are blue. Professor Sugar Fish is a giant rainbow fish.
* Similar to the ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'' example above, the animals Merlin and Madame Mim become in ''[[The Sword in the Stone]]'' are blue and pink respectively, same color as their clothing. The animals Wart becomes are tan, which is somewhat less conspicuous. Mim's [[No Purple Dragons|purple dragon]] is something else entirely.
* ''[[The Raccoons]]'' - Cyrill and Cedric Sneer are pink aardvarks. The show's creator did this so that kids wouldn't think real aardvarks were mean and miserly. Are you seriously telling me that they were worried about anti-aardvark bigotry? [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]].
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'''s pet [[Everythings Better With Platypus|platypus]], Perry, is teal-colored with an orange bill. In a recent episode, it seems like ''all'' platypodes (in Danville, at least?) are the same color as theirs.
* ''[[Rude Dog and the Dweebs]]'' - Cool dogs come in every color.
** According to [[Word of God]], [[Viewers are Morons|most viewers don't know much about the platypus, so they can take artistic license with the species]].
* ''[[The Schnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show]]'' - Meat the dog is blue.
* The titular equines of ''[[My Little Pony]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' come in all the colors of the rainbow and then some.
* ''[[Staines Down Drains]]'' - The Drainlanders, being mutant life forms living in a drain system, they tend to come in a lot of shapes, sizes and colors.
* Semi-justified on ''[[The Wuzzles]]'', given that each character was a crossbreed of two different species (although, oddly, each seemed to be the only one of its kind). Some of the color schemes were fairly reasonable for a "zoologically accurate" animated fantasy: "Bumblelion," for instance, was a half-lion, half-bumblebee creature, and had tan lion fur (correct) and brown and yellow bee stripes across his torso (close enough). But then again you had his pal "Rhinokey," who was a rhinoceros-nosed monkey with carnation-pink fur.
* ''[[The Sword in the Stone]]'' - Similar to the ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'' example above, the animals Merlin and Madame Mim become in ''[[The Sword in the Stone]]'' are blue and pink respectively, same color as their clothing. The animals Wart becomes are tan, which is somewhat less conspicuous. Mim's [[No Purple Dragons|purple dragon]] is something else entirely.
* In [[Eek the Cat]], the titular character has purple fur, his girlfriend Annabelle is pink, and Sharky the Sharkdog is gray.
* ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)|Tarzan]]'' (Disney) - Features ''literal'' [[Pink Elephants]]. Curiously enough, the elephants in the song "I Just Can't Wait to be King'', as mentioned earlier, are all also colored pink.
** Also, The Incredible Elmo is brown, and Mittens is blue colored.
* ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' - Beast Boy
* ''[[Rude Dog and the Dweebs]]''. Cool dogs come in every color.
* ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' - Buster (blue) and Babs (pink), Bunny (no relation), Furball (blue cat), Dizzy Devil (a purple Tasmanian Devil), and Fifi (purple skunk), among other animals with strange colors.
* Beast Boy of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]''.
* ''[[Up]]'' - "Kevin" is a 13-foot flightless bird with bright, iridescent plumage that, while not unusual for tropical birds, is nearly nonexistent among large flightless birds.
* Averted for the most part in ''[[The Lion King]]'', but played straight during the song "I Just Can't Wait to be King."
* ''[[The Wuzzles]]'' - Semi-justified, given that each character was a crossbreed of two different species (although, oddly, each seemed to be the only one of its kind). Some of the color schemes were fairly reasonable for a "zoologically accurate" animated fantasy: "Bumblelion," for instance, was a half-lion, half-bumblebee creature, and had tan lion fur (correct) and brown and yellow bee stripes across his torso (close enough). But then again you had his pal "Rhinokey," who was a rhinoceros-nosed monkey with carnation-pink fur.
* Disney's ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)|Tarzan]]'' featured ''literal'' [[Pink Elephants]]. Curiously enough, the elephants in the song "I Just Can't Wait to be King'', as mentioned earlier, are all also colored pink.
* ''[[Dora the Explorer]]'' - This show features many anthropomorphised animals with unrealistic colours, including regular characters such as Benny (a blue cow), Tico (a purple squirrel with pink hair), the Fiesta Trio (a pink snail with a purple shell, an orange insect, and a purple frog), Val the Octopus (purple), and the Big Red Chicken (whilst it was transformed magically into a larger animal, it was initially still red in colour).
* In ''[[The Schnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show]]'', Meat the dog is blue.
* ''[[The Octonauts]]'' - This series teaches children a lot about animal facts, therefore the animal colors are generally correlated to reality. However, Tweak (Octonauts' Engineer) is a neon-mint green rabbit. Commentators have argued that this is one of the factors making Tweak [https://vocal.media/geeks/octonauts-the-dark-secret-they-don-t-want-you-to-know the second weirdest things about the series] (the first being the half vegetable/half animal vegimals).
* In ''[[The Problem Solverz]]'', Bad Cat has rainbow stripes and his henchmen are blue. Professor Sugar Fish is a giant rainbow fish.
* The Drainlanders in ''[[Staines Down Drains]]''. Being mutant life forms living in a drain system, they tend to come in a lot of shapes, sizes and colors.
* ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' has blue cats and pink rabbits. However, they don't really look like cats or rabbits. Someone who is seeing the show or characters for the first time might actually mistake them for anthropomorphic gumballs.
 
 
=== Real Life ===
* Reef wildlife typically consists of any of the (and often times, multiple) colours of the visible light spectrum.
* Parrots and other tropical birds come in many bright colours.
* Averted: Most depictions of dinosaurs tended to color them in various shades of brown -- andbrown—and until fossilized samples of dinosaur skin were unearthed, their skin tended to have no texture to them.
** Played straight in real life. They have actually managed to figure out a way to tell what color dinosaurs were. (Or at least the feathered ones.) They have tested two so far; the first one, ''Sinosauropteryx'', was white with orange stripes, the [http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/01/100127-dinosaurs-color-feathers-science/o/ second], ''Anchiornis'', was black, with mottled white and a rufous mohawk. ''Confuciusornis'', a primitive bird, had varying shades of gray, white and orange. ''Sinornithosaurus'' was most likely orange and black. In any case, ''every'' species of dinosaur was very likely flamboyantly-colored. They, like all other reptiles, had great vision and likely relied on visual signals and bright colors to communicate.

** It's subverted as well. Although chameleons are famous for their ablitity to change colors, and use a pretty wide range of colors for camouflage and to communicate with one another, they ''cannot'' instantly change into ''every'' color in existence despite what movies/cartoons would like you to believe.
