One of the easiest ways to make a character stand out is to heavily associate them with a color. Sure, a distinct appearance and likable personality are far more important since a good character needs substance, but color association can go a long way in making somebody stand out in the viewer's mind. Hair color, clothing, favorite foods, and special weapons are just some of the many ways '''Signature Colors''' can be applied to a character. They also play a big role in fleshing out factions: whether it's something as mundane as a sports team or frat house, or something far grander like a militia, country, or a criminal organization, it's a safe bet that there will be a special color or combination thereof that said faction will claim as their own.
This is usually an in-universe trope, where the color scheme is self-enforced by the characters as opposed to 'just' the artists. Settings with [[Elemental Powers]] will often have signature colors for each element commonly worn by their wielders.
