Video game sprites or polygon models of different colors to tell otherwise identical Player Characters apart. This was especially prevalent in games up to the mid-1980s, where ROM size meant that even different sprites for them would take up too much space. In later years, storage capacity has grown bigger, allowing game designers to give each player character a different design, but this trope lives on as a way for players to tell each other apart when they are both playing as the same character. In early days, certain players were forcibly assigned certain character colors with no way to choose a different color (ex: P1 blue, P2 red, P3 green, P4 yellow); this was most useful in arcades, where the preassigned colors were often painted onto the controls and/or the surrounding area of the cabinet. Nowadays, games will often allow players to choose colors. This trope can apply whether the multiplayer is cooperative or competitive. It can also apply to a mirror match with a computer-controlled opponent as long as it is using the same character as the player. In two-player games, you typically see Red and Blue; four-player games almost always add Yellow and Green; and eight-player games typically tend to add Orange, Purple, Magenta, and Cyan to the mix. Red and Blue have historically been used, such as the red and blue corners in boxing, whereas the other two are included for Chromatic Arrangement. SRPGs often do this with the generic classes. Also, there can be some minor differences, as long as the color is the primary way to tell them apart. A Sub-Trope of Color-Coded Characters and Palette Swap. A Sister Trope to Mirror Match. Compare Good Colors, Evil Colors; Color-Coded Patrician; Color-Coded Armies. Examples |

Violent Storm inverted it compared to most brawlers that followed the Final Fight template. Kyle wears green and is the weakest but fastest.

S4 League is a little weird with this. Players on your team will have their equipment rendered with their natural colors which can be blue, yellow, green, or purple. Players on the opposing team will have their equipment Palette Swapped to be red. In Battle Royale, a free-for-all mode with no teams, all other players will be wearing red. As a result of this POV-based color-coding system, equipment that is naturally red does not exist. | |

In the Kirby franchise, Player 2 is traditionally yellow (only in Kirby's Dream Course was the yellow Kirby named "Keeby.") Allegedly, this is because Shigeru Miyamoto first saw Kirby on the monochrome Game Boy and thought his "official" color was yellow instead of pink, leading to yellow being kept as Kirby's secondary color as a Mythology Gag. Kirby's Return to Dream Land lets players be Kirbies of different colors, but they can also choose between King Dedede, Meta Knight, or Waddle Dee, who don't have Kirby's trademark Power Copying, but they do have their own weapons. Kirby & the Amazing Mirror used this trope before it, though it first showed up in Kirby's Dream Course. Also done in the multiplayer portion of Nightmare in Dream Land. Similarly, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse features multi-colored Bandana Waddle Dees, players three and four being green and yellow, respectively. note Originally, there would have also been a cyan Bandana Waddle Dee, but was cut from the final game. Kirby Star Allies does this for friends (outside of Dream Friends, who always use their natural color scheme unless there are multiple of the same Dream Friend or they’re summoned in The Ultimate Choice or Heroes in Another Dimension modes); player 2 is yellow, player 3 is blue, and player 4 is green. |

Also, the women, Mileena, Kitana, Jade, and the often forgotten Khameleon. As well as Cyrax, Robot Smoke, and Sektor. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up uses colored 'auras' to separate players, much like Super Smash Bros. in that they are required for team matches. In free for all matches, the aura colors can be decided by the player out of a standard 256 color pallet. While alternate models exist, this is the main way to separate fighters. | |

Super Mario Bros. The original Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World did this with Mario and Luigi. They are identical sprites, but Mario is red and Luigi is green. The exception was Super Mario Bros. 2, the single-player game that put Luigi on Divergent Character Evolution. Then Super Mario All-Stars gave Mario and Luigi different sprites in all of the remakes. In the version of All-Stars that included Super Mario World, Luigi got a new sprite in that game as well. Some of his actions had to be animated differently in order to keep his hit box intact (for example, he slides on his knees). In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, two Toads are color coded yellow and blue, but players can select between them or Luigi (Player 1 is always stuck with Mario, however). The "Classic" Mario Bros. minigame included in the GBA version of Super Mario Bros. 2 (and with the GBA versions of Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, and Super Mario Bros. 3, and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga) plays this straight by making all the other player characters (including Luigi) into palette swaps of Mario. The Player 3 and Player 4 characters wore yellow and blue respectively, with white overalls. |

While Transformers: War for Cybertron didn't use this, having players choose separate models and colors for the Autobot and Decepticon versions of their classes, the sequel Fall of Cybertron does use this; one creates just one model for a class and differentiates the Autobot and Decepticon versions of it by picking from different pools of palette options. Also, the game automatically swaps voices and Tron Lines colors based on faction, with there being an option to use player-relative colors (blue = allies, red = enemies, regardless of faction) or absolute colors (red = Autobots, purple = Decepticons, regardless of which team the player is on). | |

The one track in the game with a 5-player chart simply has 4P be blue (like 2P) and 5P (like 1P) be red, due to the fact that nobody really deviates from their portion of the stage. | |

Double Dragon - Traditionally the series had Player 1 (Billy) as the blue guy and Player 2 (Jimmy) as the red guy, but there has been some deviations of this formula throughout the course of the series. The NES version of the first game lacked a 2-player co-op, but instead had a 2-player alternating mode where both players controlled Billy Lee. This was because the NES version changed the plot by making Jimmy into the bad guy. However, the bonus one-on-one versus mode, which consisted exclusively of mirror matches, has both players depicted in varying color schemes depending on the character, but Player 1's life bar is always blue while Player 2/CPU's is always red. The arcade version of Double Dragon II has Billy wearing a black outfit and Jimmy wearing a white outfit. The NES version brought then back to their original blue and red outfits. The arcade version of Double Dragon 3 allows the option for a third player, who controls a yellow-clad palette-swap of the Lee brothers named Sonny. This also applies to the new characters featured in addition to Billy and Jimmy, which consists of groups of palette-swapped siblings similar to the Lee brothers. However, Masao (the player 1 member of the Oyama Brothers) wears a white karate gi. The NES version of Double Dragon III has Player 1 start out as Billy and Player 2 as Jimmy as usual, but the players can switch characters at any point. A bug in the game's 2-players mode even allows a single player to play the whole game as both Lee brothers. In Super Double Dragon, Billy and Jimmy actually have different hair styles for their sprites. Instead of the pompadour style they had in the arcade and NES games, Billy has straight brown hair, while Jimmy has a blond flap-top style. Some of the earlier manual/promo artwork for the Famicom versions (and even the story sequences and character portraits of Double Dragon III on the NES) already depicted the Lee brothers with differing hairstyles, but Super Double Dragon was the first game to actually distinguish them in-game. Some of the later games, like Double Dragon Advance and the iOS/Android remake from 2013, would use this style, while other games like Double Dragon Neon would go back to the original arcade game's palette swapped twins style. |

While not related to uniforms, several game shows have seated their contestants behind red, yellow, and blue podiums. A notable example is Wheel of Fortune. Some have red and blue podiums, like Card Sharks, for example. Tattletales had the studio audience divided into blue, yellow (later nicknamed "banana") and red rooting sections with the respective celebrity couple monitor box matching it. The Japanese quiz show Panel Quiz Attack 25 takes this one step further and refers to the four players by their colors—Aka (red), Midori (green), Shiro (white), or Ao (blue)—rather than their names, when buzzing in. |

Ninja Gaiden (arcade version) has Player 1 as a blue ninja and Player 2 as a red ninja. While neither character are actually identified in the game, Ryu Hayabusa (the main character in the NES version) wears a blue ninja outfit, while his father Ken wears a similar red outfit, matching the colors of the two player characters (leading some fans to speculate that the events depicted in the arcade version is a mission that Ryu and Ken Hayabusa went through before the events of the NES series). | |

The arcade version of Bad Dudes had two main characters whose only differences were the colors of their parachute pants (white for Player 1 and green for Player 2). In the game's Spiritual Successor, Crude Buster (aka Two Crude Dudes), Player 1 wears yellow and has a faux-hawk style, while Player 2 wears green and has a bald mohawk. |

In El Goonish Shive, when Nanase creates one shadow copy of herself, the copy is colored with one of the primary additive colors (red, green, or blue), while Nanase is colored with the corresponding primary subtractive color (cyan, magenta, or yellow, respectively). This actually makes sense from a scientific standpoint: the real Nanase is absorbing the color the fake one is producing. | |

The Splatoon games color-code the two teams in contrasting colors like blue and orange, though the colors tend to change between matches unless you're in Colorblind Mode. This is a key gameplay element, as players spray ink across the arena as both a means of offense and a means of control; players can swim through ink of their own color for faster traversal, and rapidly wash off hostile ink and replenish their own tanks, on top of making the players Friendly Fireproof; meanwhile opposing colors impair movement greatly and can damage the player, but outside of shots cannot splat outright. | |

Team Fortress 2. Lampshaded in that their companies are abbreviated to RED and BLU. It's lampshaded even further since the founders of said companies are named Redmond and Blutarch, respectively. And after the Mann Vs. Machine update, RED and BLU have a common enemy called Gray Mann (whose "team", ironically, isn't this—they're robotic doubles of the actual characters, as the "Vs. Machine" part of the update title implies). |

Contra, as shown in the lead image. Particularly in the NES version, since the hardware wasn't capable of displaying detailed sprites like the arcade version, so Bill and Lance are distinguished by the colors of their pants. It's much more subtly handled in the original arcade game, as Bill's and Lance's are completely unique, but they still wear color-coded bandannas (blue for Bill and red for Lance). | |

Salamander, a spinoff of the original Gradius, has one player piloting a blue ship and the other player a red ship. These ships were later identified as the Vic Viper from the original Gradius and the newly-introduced Lord British, and they actually have different sprite designs in the arcade version. The Lord British would later appear as a selectable ship in Gradius Gaiden for the PlayStation. The MSX version of Salamander replaces the Vic Viper and Lord British with the Sabel Tiger and the Thrasher. Gradius V would be the first game in the mainline series to have 2P co-op. However, the second player's ship is a red-colored Vic Viper (the Model T-301 to be precise) rather than a Lord British. |

Pac-Man Vs. has each player take control of a different-colored ghost based on their player number, with a red ghost for player 1, blue for player 2, pink for player 3, and green for player 4. The same colors are used for a trail that the player controlling Pac-Man leaves behind, depending on which player is currently playing as him. Pac-Man Battle Royale features four different-colored Pac-Man characters, one for each player, the colors being blue, pink, red, and of course the classic yellow. The sequel, Pac-Man Battle Royale CHOMPionship, adds dark green, orange, light green, and purple Pac-Mans for players 5-8. |

Gauntlet In the arcade version of the original Gauntlet, multiple players could not be part of the same class - they were either, chosen by each player at the start of the game in the 2-player version or assigned by control panel in the 4-player version. This was changed in Gauntlet II, which allowed multiple players to be the same class if they wanted to, distinguishing each player by color-coding their characters. Incidentally, the color-coding in Gauntlet II matches how the four classes were colored and arranged in the 4-player version of the first game which goes red, blue, yellow and green in that exact order. Gauntlet Legends at first appears to have standard Color Coded Multiplayer, but upon closer inspection, all of the art and in-game models for each color of each character class are radically different, with each color even having something of a theme (e.g. all of the blue characters resemble Western European knights and nobility, the yellow are inspired by Ancient Egypt with a bit of Ottoman Empire, reds are the "generic fantasy barbarian" culture, and greens have a Celtic/Gaelic flair). Each color variation also sports differing costume styles. The reds mostly had fur and were more barbarian-looking; the blues were often more regal and medieval-like; the greens were forest-themed with leather sashes and vests, and the yellows had an Egyptian/desert-themed flair to them. |

Dissidia Final Fantasy, the interesting part is that the alt colors make sense if you've played the other FF games or are otherwise a Final Fantasy nerd—some of the alts are based on original concept art of the character that didn't make the final cut for the original game (Cecil, Firion, The Emperor), some are versions of the character as they appeared in their actual game, their default Dissidia design having changed that (Golbez, Tidus, Terra), and others make references more complicated than that (Final Fantasy III was originally a game of four Featureless Heroic Mimes, while the remake did away with that and gave the characters all personalities, back stories, unique appearances, and names; Dissidia references this by basing the FFIII representative on the Onion Knight of the original game, while having his alt look like Luneth, the "hero" of the remake). And yet others are outfits the characters actually wore (Cloud's AC outfit or Squall's Seed Uniform). And others are a reference to other characters (Ultimecia and Jecht). | |

Every Street Fighter installment since Champion Edition allowed both players to use the same character by distinguishing one player with an alternate color scheme. Super Street Fighter II, the fourth Street Fighter II game, actually has eight palettes for each character, allowing all eight players in the Tournament Battle mode to use the same character. Street Fighter IV retained the tradition of palette swapped costumes, despite the switch from pixel art to polygonal models and the introduction of alternate costumes. | |

Similarly, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse features multi-colored Bandana Waddle Dees, players three and four being green and yellow, respectively. note Originally, there would have also been a cyan Bandana Waddle Dee, but was cut from the final game. | |

Super Smash Bros.: The first three games in the series uses alternate colors of characters marked red, green, or blue when playing team multiplayer. When the same character is on the same team, they're differentiated by being a slightly different shade from the other players. Free-for-All battles also had alternate palettes for each character, which can be selected from the menu. The fourth generation games for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U changed the presentation for team battles so that teams are indicated by color-coded outlines instead, allowing the freedom of giving players the character palette of their choice. A yellow team is also present for the Wii U version's eight-player mode. This also meant that characters no longer had to have an obligatory "red palette," "blue palette," or "green palette." In Free-for-all battles and Single Player mode, you can tell which controller port you're using based on the color of your shield/stock/icon/KO explosion; P1 (Red), P2 (Blue), P3 (Yellow), P4 (Green). Computer players are given gray. As of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, an eight-player mode was introduced, so there are four additional colors: P5 (Orange), P6 (Cyan), P7 (Purple), P8 (Dark gray). In Ultimate, purple became the color for Player Eight, while Player Seven is pink. |
