Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met

But loving him was red Taylor Swift, "Red" , "Red" Losing him was blue like I'd never knownMissing him was dark grey all aloneForgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never metBut loving him was red An emotion a character is experiencing can be identified by what colour the character, or whatever they have is or turns in to. A character might turn red when they are angered or embarrassed, yellow when happy, or blue when sad. The background might even change to the same colour the person is. Sometimes, a character will change clothes to reflect what they're feeling that particular day. Someone with an Aura Vision might be able to tell what mood another person is in by the colour their aura emits. The trope is pretty old as the Seven Deadly Sins originally had colors associated with them. Envy is green (yes, that's where the whole Green-Eyed Monster idea came from), Lust is blue (in some languages, a porno is actually called a "blue film" and a horny person is said to have a "blue mind"), Pride is purple (the color of royalty), Wrath is red, Gluttony can be pink or orange, Greed is gold, and Sloth is light blue or cyan.

Here's a list of colours commonly used to identify several emotions:

Red : Anger, embarrassment, passion, or lust.

: Anger, embarrassment, passion, or lust. Blue : Shyness, sadness, or calmness.

: Shyness, sadness, or calmness. Yellow : Cowardice, happiness, or caution.

: Cowardice, happiness, or caution. Green : Disgust, envy, friendliness, or greed.

: Disgust, envy, friendliness, or greed. Purple : Pride, fear, or courage.

: Depression, regular sadness, or stoicism. Black: Coldness or mournfulness.

: Cheeriness, embarrassment, love, or lust. White: Shock, fear, coldness, or mournfulness.

Aza Smith: "Suicide — Blue", "Homicide — Red" and "Genocide — Yellow" from the Patchwork Horrorshow portfolio from Smith's Grindhouse and Watercolors fit this criteria. "Suicide — Blue" shows depression, using blue as the color of tears. "Homicide — Red" shows rage, using the color of blood. "Genocide — Yellow" shows apathy, using the color of bile and poison.

Comic Books

Green Lantern: The Emotional Spectrum, which associates a specific color to an emotion, and these emotions are what power up the lantern rings. Red is Anger, Orange is Greed, Yellow is Fear, Green is Willpower, Blue is Hope, Indigo is Compassion, and Violet is Love. There is also White and Black, representing Life and Death itself. The Phantom Ring enables the user to tap into the entire spectrum. A Phantom Lantern's powers and appearance change to match the Corps of whatever their emotional state is at the time. Ultraviolet, part of the invisible emotional spectrum, seems to be associated with shame and self destruction.
