== [[Real Life]] ==
* Much of historical occultism works this way, creating elaborate lists of symbolic correspondances. The [[Elemental Rock -Paper -Scissors|classical elements]] for instance would be associated with colors, compass directions, bodily organs and [[Four -Temperament Ensemble|"humours"]], astrological signs, etc.
** And taking it even further, each astrological sign, for instance, can be aligned with a color, mythological figure, gemstone, metal, time of the year (obviously), two sister signs and one opposing sign, parts of the human body, and geographical places, and Tarot card (and don't even get ''started'' on Tarot cards.)
* If you live in Eagleland, you might be aware of your state's date of founding, origin of name, capital city, official state flower, state animal, state rock, state vegetable (yes really), etc. Now they've come out with state quarters, which contain some symbol significant to the state in question on the back.
Line 64:
== Toys ==
* ''[[Bionicle]]'': Six Toa, each with an [[Elemental Power]], a [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|matching color]], a [[Cool Mask]] [[Clothes Make the Superman|with another power]], and a [[Weapon of Choice]]. This holds true to varying degrees for most other characters as well, with a group of six in the same six colors as a bare minimum.
* Pretty common in toylines, and consequentally in [[Merchandise -Driven]] series, probably because arranging products this way can encourage people to form collections of them and perhaps also because it can allow more toys per idea.
 
== Web Comics ==
* ''[[Homestuck]]'': 4 young chums, each with a color, a classical element, a [[Weapon of Choice]], a musical instrument, a [[Four -Temperament Ensemble|humour]], a [[The Chosen One|specific title]] corresponding to their role in the game, a personal world in the Incipisphere from which each must reach Skaia, the remains of a deceased creature or family member, and a single guardian who seems to know something about the [[Ancient Conspiracy]]. Oh, and an African-American celebrity.
** Also a specific item (E.G. uranium, oil).
** A more thorough listing of the similarities can be found [http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Homestuck_Kids here] on the series's Wiki.
