The trope is pretty old as the Seven Deadly Sins originally had colors associated with them. Someone with an Aura Vision might be able to tell what mood another person is in by the colour their aura emits. Sometimes, a character will change clothes to reflect what they're feeling that particular day. The background might even change to the same colour the person is. A character might turn red when they are angered or embarrassed, yellow when happy, or blue when sad. An emotion a character is experiencing can be identified by what colour the character, or whatever they have is or turns in to.
