== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Usagi's first school uniform looks very similar to the outfit she wears as [[Sailor Moon]]. They [[School Uniforms Are the New Black|both have a white shirt/bodysuit with a blue sailor collar, a red bow on the chest, and a blue pleated skirt]].
* The ''[[Samurai Pizza Cats]]''' civilian outfits were so similar to their mission gear that it was often hard for the viewer to tell which they were in. Lampshaded at least once.
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', Kotetsu's [[Powered Armor]] is black, green, and white. His casual clothes? Black slacks, green shirt, and white vest. Barnaby also has similar color coding, but he has the excuse of not actually ''having'' a secret identity.
Line 33:
** The early seasons took it [[Up to Eleven]], where the characters seemed to own ''nothing'' that wasn't in their ranger color. Some actors have said they couldn't stand the color anymore after their time on the show. Getting to keep their secret identities was a major point of [[Fridge Logic]], as the five teenagers who ''obsessively'' wore nothing but the colors of the Rangers and were all skilled martial artists kept disappearing just before the Rangers showed up. At least Tommy, as the Green and White MMPR Rangers, the Red Zeo and Turbo Ranger, and the Black Dino Ranger, got to change his every so often.
** The current page image comes from ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]],'' whose adaptation, ''[[Power Rangers Samurai]],'' is currently airing (as of 2012.) Actually, they're... much less obsessively colorcoded than some series.
* It's so expected that it's confusing when they ''don't.'' In ''[[Kamen Rider Dragon Knight]]'', not all the Riders' unmorphed bikes are the same as their Rider colors, which makes it hard to tell who's who when they wear visored helmets. ''[[Power Rangers Operation Overdrive]]'' has the same problem with the bikes and [[ATVs]] used when unmorphed. We laugh at the heroes who seem to wear nothing but their colors, but it turns out [[Tropes Are Not Bad]].
