+31 It's not to hide their identity: even Ninja Turtles can't tell each other apart without the colored masks. amirite?

In the original comics we told them apart by what weapon they held

Doubt it, it's just easier to animate them to look the same knowing the masks will differentiate them to viewers

They were in fact all originally black and white. No joke

So they didn't run out of red ink coloring the blood.

That's funny. You're right. The masks, and their weapons, are there to ESTABLISH their identity.

They are literally humanoid turtles they couldn't hide their identity even if they wanted to

They can probably identify themselves. They're brothers. (And in this point I'm refering to how people can tell the difference between people, animals, or anything, if they interact a lot/live together with that thing.) And as others mentioned, originally they all wore red. So their weapons would be more of a "distinguishing factor" than their mask. (Still, based on what I already said, I don't think it would be necessary.) In the end, the turtles using different colors of masks is for the audience to tell them apart. In universe, sure. They don't have an identity to hide. So I would say they just think it looks cool, and it goes with the "ninja" part. They're teenagers, so it makes sense.

You tryin' to say that all Ninja Turtles look the same? Racist!

They're all brothers... you think they can't tell each other apart by their voice, or mannerism? There's also the fact that they each have a different weapon...
