Line 10:
It very often overlaps with [[Power Glows]], especially in [[Super Robot]] shows, but there are cases of one that does not require the another.
 
May be a visual indication of [[Heroic RROD]], [[Super Mode]], or [[Turns Red]]. Compare with [[Volcanic Veins]], [[Tron Lines]], [[Power Tattoo]], [[Mark of the Beast]], and [[Marked Change]]. See also [[Colour -Coded for Your Convenience]] and [[Convenient Color Change]].
 
{{examples|Examples:}}
 
== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* [[Gao Gai Gar]] turns green whenever it uses [[Yin -Yang Bomb|Hell And Heaven]] and gold when using [[Drop the Hammer|Goldion Hammer]]. Mechas affected by '''THE POWER''' shine orange. Gai himself has [[Super Mode|Hyper Mode]], which turns all his body armor, as well as his hair, gold.
* [[Heroman]] turns red whenever he enters [[Unstoppable Rage|Rage]] [[Super Mode|Mode]]. {{spoiler|So does Joey}}.
* When [[FLCL|Canti]] combines with Naota, it turns red. {{spoiler|Naota also turns red after temporarily absorbing Atomsk's powers}}.
Line 21:
** And ''[[Gundam 00]]'' has the Trans-Am system, which triples the machine's abilities while also turning it bright red.
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' uses it too, a few times.
* When Subaru synchronizes her [[Power Fist|Power Fists]] in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS'' (by slamming them against each other, no less), allowing her to use [[Dual -Wielding|both at the same time]], the right gauntlet (originally her sister's) turns from purple to her native blue.
* In ''[[One Piece]]'', when Luffy uses Gear 2nd, his skin color becomes pink.
* ''[[Naruto]]'''s eponymous character has [[Rule of Three|three]] (so far, anyway). His eyes are blue in the normal mode, turn red in [[Super Mode]] No. 1, and Orange in [[Super Mode]] No. 2. {{spoiler|His whole body turns [[Golden Super Mode|gold]] in [[Super Mode]] No. 3}}.
* Unit 01 in ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]] 2.0'' has its eyes and neon lights (both green) turning red when it goes [[Super -Powered Evil Side|berserk]] against Zeruel. Its mouth also emits a red glow and when the chest armor is torn off, it's skin actually has a yellowish glow. Even for those who didn't see the series, these signs (and the [[Crowning Music of Awesome|BGM]]) make it clear that the [[Godzilla Threshold]] has just been crossed. Taken even further a few minutes later when Unit 01 powers up ''[[Physical God|again]]'' and turns into a purple-white glowing [[Energy Being]].
* ''[[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Dragon Ball]] Z'': Kai-O-Ken turns the user's body flush with red, with a red aura, and Super Saiyan at the very least turns the fighter's hair gold with a gold aura.
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh 5 Ds]]'', {{spoiler|Yusei turns gold when he uses Over The Top Accel Synchro.}}
* In ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', Toguro turns dark purple when he uses 100% of his power.
* In ''[[Saint Seiya]]'', after the Asgard arc, the Bronze Saints experience this with their Cloths turning an awesome shade of Gold (most of the time with a [[Theme Music Power -Up]]) when they properly use their full powers. Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] and [[Taking Up the Mantle]] for [[The Atoner]] Gold Saints.
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
Line 48:
* Biotics in the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' saga tend to glow blue when using powers or using amazing Asari biotic acrobatics.
* In ''[[Super Robot Wars]] J'', [[Martian Successor Nadesico|Akito and Gai]]'s mechas turn gold when they use their team-up attack.
* When consuming a [[Invincibility Power -Up|star]], [[Super Mario Bros|Mario]] flashes in all different colours.
** Several powerups include this: Fire (red on white), [[New Super Mario Bros Wii|Ice]] (red on light blue), [[Super Mario Galaxy|Soar]] (black on red)
* A variation of this: in ''[[Caster]]'', the protagonist appears in a certain colour depending on the currently selected spell.
Line 56:
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]],'' you get the Zora Tunic that lets you breathe underwater and the Goron Tunic that lets you withstand heat (though ''super''-hot things like standing in lava will just hurt you ''less.'') And again, other things of the same color are subject to the glitch (Aveil's clothes ''and lipstick'' will change with your tunic. Her ''[[Majoras Mask]]'' appearance and remakes of OOT for more modern systems have her tunic and lipstick as always red.)
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'', when Link becomes the Fierce Deity, he doesn't just get a new color scheme, but an elaborate new outfit, a [[BFS]], and [[Facial Markings]]. This has been Link's strongest transformation so far.
* The Trance ability in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]''. Zidane's skin (or fur, [[Don't Explain the Joke|since he looks like a monkey]]) changes to pink. Vivi's clothes change to white. Steiner's armor gets green details. Freya's clothes change to purple. Quina's skin color changes to black. Eiko gets white clothing and yellow hair. Scarlet Head Amarant becomes [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Purple Head Amarant]]. Garnet gets pink skin and yellow hair and clothes. [[Big Bad|Kuja]]'s purple robes and silver hair both [[Turns Red|turn red]]. Unlike the other examples, [[One -Winged Angel|this is not a good thing]].
* The bosses in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' arcade game, after enough hits.
* In ''[[Kid Icarus]]'', Pit changes colors as he levels up.
