This is a visual shorthand trope that makes gems identifiable on sight, often reducing gems to Palette Swaps of each other. In Real Life, there are many features that differentiate minerals, gemstones, precious metals, and organic gems from each other: hardness, smoothness, clarity, a range of possible colors, and location found. But the only feature the audience can directly see for themselves, and that most people outside of geologists are readily familiar with, is color. Therefore, gems in fiction will often be identified solely by color, with a standard set of gem-color associations dictating the types of gems, even if there's color variance between gems of the same kind in real life. The gems may be identical aside from the differences in color. | |

In an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Casey Novak catches a suspect in a lie on the stand with this. The suspect says she was born in January, but Casey notices the class ring she's wearing wasn't a red Garnet, but a blue Sapphire (the victim's ring.) This in of itself doesn't prove anything, but she goes on to say the victim's ring was inscribed with her initials, and gets the judge to order the girl to have the ring examined. Realizing she's caught, the girl tells everything. | |

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon has thirteen gemstones in each of its five areas, color-coded based on the "theme" of the mansion. Gloomy Manor, which has purple spiders, has purple amethysts; the botanical Haunted Towers has green emeralds; the desert-like Old Clockworks has red rubies; Secret Mine, the snowy region, has blue sapphires, and the diamonds in Treacherous Mansion are as white as King Boo. | |

Kamen Rider Wizard has a set of jewelled Rings Of Power that are color-coded to each of his forms, but the gems are never actually identified as ruby, sapphire, etc.; in fact, they all seem to be variations of the same material, which is simply called "magic stone". (Except for the diamond-like Infinity Ring, which formed from his tears, or, somehow... it's magic, okay?) Fans may still use "ruby", "sapphire", "emerald", "amber", and "diamond" to describe them, however. | |

More generally, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild depicts the gemstones you can obtain from ore deposits in this manner. Specifically, ambers are rounded orange shapes, diamonds clear quartz-like spears, opals are many-colored and sparkly, rubies deep red, sapphires blue and topazes bright yellow. The sequel maintains this colour scheme, but changes the shapes of diamond and amber slightly to make them more believable as fuse materials that could do lots more damage (while the other gems instead create magic staffs). | |

NetHack plays this one dead straight, with a few exceptions - there's two possibilities each for turquoise and aquamarine (green or blue), and fluorite is randomly assigned either green, blue, white or violet. All gems are just "< colour > gem" until identified, so an unidentified "red gem" can't turn out to be sapphire, which is a blue gem. | |

Diablo II: You could find the six gems that are explained in their description, each with the colour that it's said in the description. What's more, adding them to Socketed Equipment gives it a glow of the colour of the gem, and some of them (to be precise, ruby, sapphire, topaz and emerald) are associated with elements, adding damage of that element in weapons and resistance to the element in shields (ruby is fire, sapphire is cold, topaz is lightning and emerald is poison). The other two (diamond and amethyst) aren't, though. The Soulstones. Mephisto's is blue, Diablo's is red, and Baal's is yellow-green. |

In World of Warcraft this was averted at first and later played straight. While largely following the basic colors, the original game had unique icons for each type of gem and they were limited to specific tiers of ore deposits. With the introduction of the Jewelcrafting profession gems it not only became common to find up to twelve different types of gems in one type of mineral, but their icons were also standardized so that within a tier of gems the only visual difference is the color. | |

Child of Light: Follows the code for Red Ruby, Blue Sapphire, Green Emerald, Purple Amethyst, White Diamond, and Black Onyx. Yellow/Orange is Citrine instead of Topaz and Cyan is Tourmaline. Egregiously, you get stones by fusing different stones together like mixing colors. A ruby fused with a sapphire gives you amethyst, despite rubies and sapphires being the same mineral already just different colors. Further some of them double with Color-Coded Elements, ruby is fire aligned, sapphire water, emerald thunder and earth, citrine light. | |

Played with somewhat in The Stormlight Archive, where there are ten gemstones used in Soulcasting; each gemstone can transmute a certain element, and the association is based mainly on the commonality of colour between them. In order, with colours and elements listed, the gemstones are: Sapphire, blue, any clear gas. Smokestone, black, any opaque gas. Ruby, red, fire. Diamond, white, crystal. Emerald, green, plant matter. Garnet, rusty red, blood. Zircon, yellow, oil. Amethyst, purple, metal. Topaz, brown, stone. Heliodor, golden, flesh. Per Word of God, the author wanted to sort the stones by their material and elemental composition, only to discover that most gemstones are almost identical from a material perspective. | |

Dwarf Fortress has diamonds of five colours as well as clear, and also blue, clear and pink garnets in addition to red, and so on and so forth. It assigns the standard colors to emerald, ruby, sapphire, amethyst, topaz and quite a few others, though; given the ASCII graphics and the limited colour palette this is necessary. | |

Zig-zagged with The Legend of Kyrandia: Book One. In addition to having all the common gemstones and colors, the game includes a variety of other jewels, as one puzzle revolves around birthstones. One of the first items the player can pick up is a bright red garnet, and the first green-colored stone the player is likely to see is a peridot. The rubies and emeralds are trickier to acquire. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The series tends to do this for their goddess-related objects. This trend to have color-coded stones of power in the Zelda series has been around since A Link to the Past starting with the three pendants of virtue. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has the Kokiri Emerald, the green Spiritual Stone of Forest; the Goron Ruby, the. red Spiritual Stone of Fire; and the Zora Sapphire, the blue Spiritual Stone of Water. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword brings this back with the Emerald Tablet for the Forest, Ruby Tablet for the Volcano and for the first time Amber Tablet representing Yellow for the Desert. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker has the three "goddess pearls", each with a different color (red, green, and blue). More generally, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild depicts the gemstones you can obtain from ore deposits in this manner. Specifically, ambers are rounded orange shapes, diamonds clear quartz-like spears, opals are many-colored and sparkly, rubies deep red, sapphires blue and topazes bright yellow.

Steven Universe has an entire alien species of sentient gemstones, and not all of the colors match up with the typical gemstones. Garnet was introduced before Ruby one of her component Gems, blue Gem Lapis Lazuli was introduced before Sapphire, the green Peridot was introduced before Emerald, while Jasper, Padparadscha, and the tie-in game-exclusive Hessonite are the only non-fused Orange Gems. Interestingly, the characters are able to amalgamate their physical forms, and doing so changes the color of the component gems to match the new name. Pearl and Amethyst, for instance, fusing into Opal turns their respective white and purple gems into matching opals. Should be noted, the Greater Scope Villains are the Diamond Authority and they're four different colors: Yellow Diamond, Blue Diamond, Pink Diamond who went by the name of Rose Quartz, and White Diamond. | |

Zigzagged in The Sims 3. Each gemstone only comes in one colour or colour scheme and gemstones which have been cut to the same shape are all palette swaps, but not all of them fit the standard colour code. As expected, you can find red rubies, green emeralds and white/colourless diamonds, however you can also collect blue topaz, grey (smoky) quartz, yellow sapphires and pink diamonds. You can also collect Tiberium, but only in its green form. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: The seven Crystal Stars that must be collected throughout this game are colored this way. The Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire and Garnet stars are white, green, red, blue and orange, respectively. The third Crystal Star, which is yellow, is not a named after a gemstone at all; rather than being named after a yellow gem like topaz, it's simply called the Gold Star despite not being metal. The final Crystal Star is a iridescent white color that's even shinier than the Diamond Star, but it's merely called the Crystal Star rather than being named after any crystal in particular. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon has thirteen gemstones in each of its five areas, color-coded based on the "theme" of the mansion. Gloomy Manor, which has purple spiders, has purple amethysts; the botanical Haunted Towers has green emeralds; the desert-like Old Clockworks has red rubies; Secret Mine, the snowy region, has blue sapphires, and the diamonds in Treacherous Mansion are as white as King Boo. |

Once cut, gemstones in World's Dawn are all identical except for color. Diamonds are white, sapphires are blue, amber is golden, and opals are black.note While black opals do exist, they're extremely rare, and what makes opals valuable is in fact the iridescent rainbow colors on their surfaces, rather than the black or white base color of the stone | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Both played straight and averted. The Master Emerald, which stands alone, is green. The Chaos Emeralds are a set of seven; only one is green and the others are differentiated by color. The first level and Green Hill Zone of the original Sonic the Hedgehog is the Trope Namer, Green Hill Zone. The first level and Green Hill Zone of the sequel is Emerald Hill Zone. In Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2, the Chao race courses were all named after gemstones and the prize for winning is a medal following that color scheme. |

In Runescape, there are blue sapphires, red rubies, green emeralds, white diamonds, and black onyx. But there are also quest-related gems that are different in color (blood diamond is red, smoke diamond is gray, shadow diamond is black, ice diamond is light gray). Lastly, jade, opal and diamond are in ridiculously similar color. You can have a reference here. | |

This trend to have color-coded stones of power in the Zelda series has been around since A Link to the Past starting with the three pendants of virtue. | |

The Rune Factory series has purple amethysts, red rubies, green emeralds, and white diamonds. However, it also has deep blue aquamarines, so the sapphires end up being pink instead of the usual blue. | |

In MySims, the six Interests - Fun, Tasty, Geeky, Cute, Studious, and Spooky - each have a related gem-themed Essence. There’s yellow Topaz for Fun, orange Amber for Tasty, blue Sapphire for Geeky, pink Garnet (a notably rare color for this particular gem) for Cute, green Jade for Studious, and purple Amethyst for Spooky. | |

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: The seven Crystal Stars that must be collected throughout this game are colored this way. The Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire and Garnet stars are white, green, red, blue and orange, respectively. The third Crystal Star, which is yellow, is not a named after a gemstone at all; rather than being named after a yellow gem like topaz, it's simply called the Gold Star despite not being metal. The final Crystal Star is a iridescent white color that's even shinier than the Diamond Star, but it's merely called the Crystal Star rather than being named after any crystal in particular. | |

The Eye of Argon averts this with its infamous "scarlet emerald" - whether the author was aware of the existence of red beryl (see below) is unknown. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! has the Gem-Knight cards (a Homage to the Elemental Hero archetype and the above-mentioned Crystal Beasts) which are named for and usually colored after a Gemstone (The exception is Gem-Knight Lazuli and maybe Gem-Knight Sardonyx) Their leader Gem-Knight Master Diamond has white armor and an All Your Colors Combined Rainbow Motif sword and background. | |

Terraria includes purple amethysts, yellow topaz, blue sapphires, green emeralds, red rubies and white diamonds, the value, rarity and the quality of items crafted with those gems are in that same order (as in a diamond magic staff or grappling hook is superior to a ruby one). Orange amber can also be found but only by putting silt, slush or desert fossils into an Extractinator, but it cannot be crafted in to most of the same items as the other six. | |

In Mother Load, when you're digging underground emeralds are green, rubies are red and diamonds are white, which helps you decide which ones you should collect. | |
