{{anchor|Examples of colimits}}
Examples of colimits are given by the dual versions of the examples above:
*'''[[Initial object]]s''' are colimits of empty diagrams.
*'''[[Coproduct]]s''' are colimits of diagrams indexed by discrete categories.
**'''Copowers''' are colimits of constant diagrams from discrete categories.
*'''[[Coequalizer]]s''' are colimits of a parallel pair of morphisms.
**'''[[Cokernel]]s''' are coequalizers of a morphism and a parallel zero morphism.
*'''[[Pushout (category theory)|Pushouts]]''' are colimits of a pair of morphisms with common domain.
*'''[[Direct limit]]s''' are colimits of diagrams indexed by directed sets.
