When a creator of a work introduces a large number of characters at once, such as at the beginning of a work, they have to find a way to distinguish them and make them memorable in the audience's mind. Some of the ways they do that is to give them [[Alliterative Name|memorable names]] or personality traits. But perhaps the easiest way ties to human's strongest sense: our sight. By giving each character a specific [[Color Motif]], the audience can quickly come to associate one color with that character and tell the characters apart with only a glance.
