Line 7:
There is an idea (codified by [[JRR Tolkien (Creator)|JRR Tolkien]]) that wizards are identified as X the Color. Sometimes, it indicates rank, sometimes, jurisdiction, and every now and then, the ''type'' of magic being used. [[White Magic]] and [[Black Magic]], of course, are the most common examples. Another is [[Elemental Powers]].
As the title suggests, this is a subtrope of [[Colour

** Summoners are usually associated with green, but varies, especially when Summoning is triggered by [[Upgrade Artifact|some kind of magicite]] or the summoner also fulfills one of the other mage classes (such as Yuna in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'').
* ''[[Battle for Wesnoth]]'', since it's inspired by ''Final Fantasy'', has a similar categorization. Brown is for apprentice magi, red for master (fire) magi, white for holy magi, silver for teleporting magi, and black for dark (necromantic) magi.
* ''[[Eternal Darkness]]'' combines this with [[Elemental Rock

* The magicians of ''[[Zebra Girl]]'' earn a The X after their first ascension. The color tends to be something they wore before their near death experience, though. J-jack became Jack The Plaid, for example, with a major boost in power, a tendency to have some rather nice plaid-oriented spells, and a shapeshifting robe that's a pocket into a [[Unmoving Plaid|plaid dimension]].
* In [[Trigger Star]], Breadbun explains to Avocado that Mages are colour coded depending on what their spell specialty is. Breadbun herself is a Panda Mage, which means she uses both [[White Magic|holy]] and [[Black Magic|dark]] magic.
Line 83:
* In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', the [[Elemental Powers|element]] a person can bend is related to their nation. Since cloth color is based by nation, this means waterbenders will usually wear blues and purples, earthbenders green/brown, airbenders oranges and yellows, and firebenders reds and black.
** Eye colour also enters the equation, with the people from the Water Tribe having blue eyes, Earth Kingdom having green eyes, Fire Nation having amber eyes, and Air Nomads having grey eyes.
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', as of Season 2, Episode 3, unicorn and alicorn magic glows with specific colors, often the same color as the caster's eyes, cutie mark, or hair. Twilight Sparkle's magic is a sort of pink-purple color, Rarity's is a light blue, Celestia's is [[The Power of the Sun|bright yellow]], Luna's is a deep, deep blue, and the Flim Flam brothers' are green.
