Characters without Cannon Colors: Jojo since the 80s

One of the many, many interesting design points in Araki's animated series Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is the lack of cannon colors for characters.

While the drawings themselves are great, the opening songs are probably just as awesome. Here's my favorite:
