Codenames are cool. From superheroes to soldiers, spies to secret agents, many people agree that having a codename is an easy way to up your coolness factor... as long as it's not actually an Atrocious Alias, of course. Two particularly common ways of having a codename for your character is by using either a color or an animal. But who's to say you can't combine both? Most Writers Are Human, and as has been noted before, most humans are very reliant on their sense of vision, making it easy to see (pun not intended) why many writers would opt to give their characters a color-based codename. Animals, meanwhile, can obviously be found everywhere on Earth, and the history of humanity's relationship (whether positive or negative) with animals go back millennia, in both real life and mythologies from all over the world. It's no surprise then to find important characters choosing a name (or being given one) based on a particular animal that might fit their personal motifs. It also helps that both the concept of colors and animals each come with their own cultural associations and stereotypes, thus increasing the appeal to writers who wish to include some form of symbolism in a character's codename. This also applies to groups of characters or even organizations, many of which may purposefully choose a specific color-and-animal combination to evoke certain ideas and imagery. It also applies to objects of great importance, especially if they come with their own symbolic values. Expect to see a lot of the usual animals popular for their badassery like the Noble Bird of Prey, Panthera Awesome, or Noble Wolf. In Speculative Fiction, more fantastical animals (such as dragons) might be used instead. Note that this does not cover cases where the color-and-animal combination describes the character, as opposed to being a name for that character. For example, the 'red dog' in Clifford the Big Red Dog doesn't count because Clifford is a (big) red dog; here the color-and-animal combination is a descriptor of who, or rather what, Clifford is. On the other hand, the character Akainu (aka inu literally translating to "red dog") from One Piece counts because it is used as that character's codename. In a similar vein, this trope does not cover cases where an animal character is called by their literal coloration and species; that falls under A Dog Named "Dog". To illustrate: the pink panther called The Pink Panther does not count, but the diamond called Pink Panther does as it is intended to be a catchy and evocative name for a plot-relevant object. See also Color Character, which is specifically about masked characters adopting a color-based alternative name. Like that trope, this trope may or may not be Colour-Coded for Your Convenience. Sister trope to Adjective Animal Alehouse, as the practice of naming bars, inns, and taverns often (but not always) employs this particular naming scheme. A subtrope of both Colourful Theme Naming and Animal Theme Naming. |

In Digimon World 2, there are three Guard Teams which most of the characters are a part of, and the player character must choose to join one of them at the beginning of the game. Two of the teams are named Gold Hawk and Blue Falcon, with the third one - Black Sword - being the odd one out. However, the Gold Hawks in Japan are actually called Silver Cross, thus making the Blue Falcons the only true example of this trope in the game. | |

Not unlike Spider-Man, Batman has a number of examples of this trope: Red Robin, aka the third holder of the Robin identity Tim Drake. Speaking of Tim, while "Redbird" was originally the name Tim gave the car he used as Robin post-Flashpoint it was used as a second hero identity by Damian Wayne. Black Bat, the second identity of Cassandra Cain (the second Batgirl). Warren White, who goes by the supervillain name The Great White Shark. Two characters have used the villain name Black Spider, the first one crossing over with Captain Ethnic. |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, a few formidable warriors go by similar names, often drawing some connection to their own personalized sigils like Prince Oberyn Martell; the Red Viper, Ser Brynden Tully; the Black Fish, and Daemon Blackfyre; the Black Dragon. Grey Worm plays with this; he was given that name by his masters, which was supposed to be demeaning but became an Appropriated Appellation. | |

In One Piece, the Marine Admirals all have this as their Nom de Guerre. The first one we meet in the story is Aokiji (Blue Pheasant), the second is Kizaru (Yellow Monkey), and the third is Akainu (Red Dog). The animal halves of their codenames are a reference to the three animal companions of the Japanese folktale Momotarō, which adds an extra layer of Religious and Mythological Theme Naming. Later on we also meet Fujitora (Wisteria Tiger) and Ryokugyu (Green Bull) after the timeskip, as replacement Admirals for the now-resigned Aokiji and the now-promoted Akainu. There are also the characters who were considered for the position of Admiral, Momousagi (Pink Hare) and Chaton (Brown Pig). Shiki from the movie Strong World has the epithet Golden Lion. After the Time Skip, Luffy gains a new fire-based attack, dubbed Red Hawk. The Gear-3-enhanced version is called Red Roc, a roc being a mythical bird creature from Arab folklore. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: In Stardust Crusaders, one of the playable baseball teams in the Fictional Video Game Oh! That's A Baseball is called Red Dragons, as seen on the page image. Enrico Pucci of Stone Ocean has the Stand named Whitesnake — which is indeed white, but otherwise humanoid in appearance. Also doubles as a Musical Theme Naming to Whitesnake. |

Game of Thrones: When slave boys are conscripted into the elite soldier corps known as Unsullied, they are given demeaning names - such as Black Rat and Red Flea - to remind them of their inferior status. When Daenerys Targaryen liberates all 8000 of them and requests that they choose a leader from among their own ranks, Grey Worm is selected, and he chooses to keep the name because it was the one he possessed when he was set free. Ser Brynden Rivers, a.k.a. the Blackfish, was so named for his brother calling him a Black Sheep and in reference to their family sigil being a trout. Prince Oberyn Martell is known as the Red Viper, due to his cunning and expertise with poisons. No connection to his sigil, though. Jon Snow is dubbed the White Wolf after being crowned King in the North, though he's never actually called by the name afterwards. |

Spider-Man is famous for his many animal-named characters. Some notable examples: Black Cat, his off-again on-again Love Interest who had luck-based powers for a little while. She teeters between being an antivillain and antihero, depending on the story. Silver Sable, who like Black Cat is a female antihero (sometimes antivillain) and occasional love interest for the Wallcrawler. Scarlet Spider, an alternative spider-identity often taken up by clones of Peter Parker such as Ben Reilly and Kaine. There's also the criminal Black Tarantula. Taking Alice in Wonderland as inspiration, there's White Rabbit. For a more mythical flavor of 'animal', there's also the Green Goblin and his many variations. |

Super Sentai: One of the default naming schemes for teams follows this pattern: Choujuu Sentai Liveman has Red Falcon, Blue Dolphin, Yellow Lion, Black Bison, and Green Sai (Rhino). Choujin Sentai Jetman has Red Hawk, Blue Swallow, Yellow Owl, Black Condor, and White Swan. Tokumei Sentai Go Busters: A movie shows an alternate version of the team with Red Cheetah, Blue Gorilla, Yellow Rabbit, Gold Beetle, Silver Stag, Green Hippopotamus and Black Puma. Zig-Zagged in Uchu Sentai Kyuranger: has Shishi (Lion) Red, Ookami (Wolf) Blue, Oushi (Bull) Black, Chameleon Green, Kajiki (Swordfish) Yellow, Sasori (Scorpion) Orange, Washi (Eagle) Pink, and Koguma (Little Bear) Skyblue. However, the team theme isn't actually animals but Constellations, and two members avert this by not being based on animal constellations: Tenbin Gold (based on Libra the Scales) and Hebitsukai Silver (Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer, rather than the serpent itself). The Sixth Rangers are also exempt as they don't include colors in their titles of Ryu (Dragon) Commander and Houou (Phoenix) Soldier. |

The vehicles in F-Zero are mostly named after animals or animal appendages, and many of them also combine it with a color. This includes the Blue Falcon (piloted by none other than Captain Falcon himself), the Golden Fox, the Red Gazelle, the White Cat, the Green Panther, and the Black Bull (piloted by Black Shadow himself). | |
