What is it called when anime is drawn with nonblack borders?


According to the book 『アニメーションの基礎知識大百科』( _Encyclopedia of animation basics_ )
by Kamimura Sachiko, the Japanese term for this is 「色トレス」（ _iro toresu_ ,
meaning "colored trace", see p.99）. In some cases of _iro toresu_ the
borderline (trace) is given the same hue as the area it surrounds, making the
borderline essentially invisible, and this is referred to as 「T.P同色」（T =
trace, P = paint, and 同色 means "same color", see p.84）. The examples you gave
fall under the opposite term 「T.P別色」, meaning that the trace and the paint
have different colors.
