Line 16:
Also, there can be some minor differences, as long as the color is the primary way to tell them apart.
A [[Sub-Trope]] to both [[
Compare [[Good Colors, Evil Colors]], [[Color-Coded Patrician]], [[Color-Coded Armies]].
Line 73:
=== MMORPGs ===
* ''[[
* In ''[[Guild Wars]]'', the two teams in [[PvP]] are red and blue. The factions in Factions have red and blue flags to support this. It also tends to refer to objectives in [[PvP]] maps by color.
=== Platform Games ===
* The original ''[[Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' did this with Mario and Luigi. The exception was ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and then ''[[Super Mario All Stars]]'' gave both of them different sprites in all of the remakes.
** In the version of ''Super Mario All-Stars'' that included ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'', Luigi was retroactively given a new sprite in that game as well. Some of his actions had to be animated differently in order to keep his hit box intact (for example, he slides on his knees).
** In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', two Toads are color coded yellow and blue, but players can select between them or Luigi (Player 1 is always stuck with Mario, however).
** The "Classic" ''Mario Bros.'' minigame included in the GBA version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' plays this straight by making all the other player characters (including Luigi) into palette swaps of Mario. Strangely, the Player 3 and Player 4 characters wore Wario's and Waluigi's color scheme respectively (yellow and purple).
* ''[[Jazz Jackrabbit]] 2'' had eight customizable colors for six body parts, allowing an almost infinite variety of color-schemes.
Line 93:
=== Real-Time Strategy ===
* ''[[Age of Empires]]'' gives you two options for this: Either each team can have a different color or all your enemies can use a single color different from yours.
* ''[[
* Ditto for the numerous ''[[Command & Conquer]]'' games, where usually 8 colours are selectable.
* In ''[[RHDE]]'', one side is red and the other blue.
Line 134:

* ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' started out as merely a parody of this trope. {{spoiler|Later, the Reds and Blues discovered that the two armies who were pitted against each other were just simulations for Freelancer Agents to train. Which finally, after most of eight seasons, actually hit the Reds' and Blues' [[Berserk Button]].}}
