Line 18:
* 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.
** The casual clothes of the heroes tend to be similar in colour to their costumes (Pao Lin in yellow, Nathan in red/pink, Keith and Ivan get blue/purple-ish shades). Karina is an exception, wearing warmer/darker colours than her skimpy blue outfit as Blue Rose. Possibly intentional, given how uncomfortable she is with her hero persona. Even Lunatic gets in on this as, {{spoiler|when we see Petrov at the end of episode 9, he's wearing a grey suit with a blue-and-green patterned tie, similar to the colours of his costume.}}
* The ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' franchise takes this to ridiculous lengths since ''[[Yes! PrecurePretty Cure 5]]'' as they not only wear color-coded civilian clothes, most of them have color-coded ''hair''. The only one defies this trope is {{spoiler|Ako/Cure Muse}} of ''[[Suite Pretty Cure]]'', who wears pink and blue despite wearing {{spoiler|black at first then going into yellow}}
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* [[Golden Age]] and [[Silver Age]] [[Superman|Clark Kent]] always wore a blue suit with a red tie. (Also seen in ''[[Superman: theThe Animated Series]]''.)
** [[Lampshade Hanging]] in ''[[Smallville]]'' — Clark favoured wearing a blue shirt and red jacket...and that's ''why'' he became known as the Red-Blue Blur ''before'' he started wearing a costume.
** [[Dork Age|When Electro-Superman was split into Superman-Red and Superman-Blue]], the businesslike Clark-Blue wore a grey suit with a blue tie, while the more relaxed Clark-Red wore an open-necked red shirt.
* Golden Age [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] frequently wore blue and grey outfits, and Dick Grayson wore red and green.
** They actually tried to avert this in the first season of ''[[Batman: theThe Animated Series]]'' and have Bruce Wayne not wear clothes the color of Batman's outfit. Due to color palette limitations, that meant he spent a lot of time wearing a rather ugly brown suit. In later episodes, Bruce usually wears a dark suit and Dick wears a red sweater vest. Barbara Gordon favoured purple, perhaps reflecting Batgirl's costume in the 1960s TV series.
* In the current [[DC Comics]] and dating at least from the 1970s ''[[Shazam]]'' TV series, Billy Batson always wears a red shirt with a yellow collar.
