The colors that humans can see are known to become more distinct to viewers when placed in juxtaposition against another color. Knowing this rule of perception, creators of visual media use Color Contrast to draw the viewer's attention to an image, frequently using something akin to a color wheel to know which colors contrast with what. The general rule of thumb is that a warm color (red, orange, yellow) should be juxtaposed with a cool color (green, blue, purple). Several types of contrast have common uses: Black/White: The most common type of contrast as well as the most recognizable. Though early films used this by necessity, it can also be used deliberately, whether in the style of these old movies or for certain symbolic situations that rely on the popular idea of "as different as black and white" referring to polar opposites. See Light Is Good and Dark Is Evil or Light Is Not Good and Dark Is Not Evil; Chiaroscuro. Sometimes select objects are coloured differently for extra contrast. Red/Blue: Used to contrast hot and cold or fire and ice; see Red Oni, Blue Oni. Also used when creators want to give the same good/evil dichotomy as Black/White Contrast but either don't want to go the monochrome route or think that Black/White Contrast is overused. Red/Green: Usually this contrast plays with the symbolism of the two colors. For example, red can attach a vivid emotion to an element in an otherwise bleak green Color Wash universe. Alternatively, the peaceful, lively, cool green of nature can be contrasted with the violence of some red elements (like blood). Also a prevalent Christmas color scheme. Orange/Blue: Became very common during the Turn of the Millennium, its prominence is due to (lighter) human skin tones having a median orange or peachy tint and blue being the color that contrasts the most with orange. Yellow/Purple: Not as common as red/green or orange/blue, but still sometimes shows up as they are the other two complementary colors besides the first two pairs. Can be portrayed for royal and aristocratic factions due to the historical importance of both colors. Green/Purple: Common in forest settings, as the color green is already in abundance and purple, whether it's found in flowers or other sources, is bound to be there as well. Bodies of water found in forests are occasionally made purple instead of blue to fit this. Yellow/White with Green/Blue/Red/Black/Purple: Used in heraldry to create distinctive coats of arms. On some occasions, creators go out of their way to avoid Color Contrast. Creators may want a particular image not to stick out, but to be "flat," often because the mood of a scene needs to be either gloomy or simply understated. The Sliding Scale of Shiny Versus Gritty typically guides such decisions. Other times, creators may think that Color Contrast is too unnatural compared to real life; this results in Real Is Brown. Compare Chiaroscuro and Mood Lighting, when the contrast comes more from lighting than from color. See also Color Wash, Color-Coded for Your Convenience, and Splash of Color. Hailfire Peaks uses this often to contrast the two or more Video Game Settings mixed into it. Also often seen between Primary Color Champions and their Secondary Color Nemeses. |

The Mighty Thor: Thor's wardrobe tends to feature primarily red fabrics, while his Arch-Enemy and evil brother Loki has primarily green fabrics. Furthermore, the metal in Thor's armor is generally silverish, while Loki's armor is goldish. They are both fond of black though (also not always enemies... their relationship is complicated and their family really dysfunctional). | |

The Matrix: The "Woman in the Red Dress" of course. Beside being gorgeous, her bright colored dress stands out in the washed-out green world of the Matrix. Adding to the significance is that she isn't part of the Matrix, but rather an element introduced into the training programs created by Mouse; in other words, a human component in an otherwise artificial environment. | |

In Ikaruga, the entire world is made of black ships that fire black/red coloured energy, and white ships that fire white/blue energy. The player character's ship can switch between the two colours, doing double damage to ships of the opposite colour, and becoming immune to the energy that matches the ship, though the ship can still can be hurt by energy of the opposite colour. | |

Django Unchained: the peace/violence symbolism of the Green/Red contrast is used to oppose slaves/masters.

Undertale uses this as a game mechanic. Battles involve dodging Bullet Hell type bullets against a black background. Most of these bullets are white and have to be dodged, but blue attacks can be avoided by not moving when you touch them and orange attacks will only hurt you if you stand still. | |

The original Super Mario Bros used very basic color contrasts. Red, blue, green and brown contrasts are abundant (the grass and water levels), sometimes with black and grey (the underground and snow levels) or red, black and grey (the Castles). Justified, as the NES had an extremely limited color palette (53 colors) and they had very little memory to work with on the game. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Gerudo, including Ganondorf, have had a recurring Red/Blue color motif in their clothes ever since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Gets a subtle Call-Forward in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, where the Mecha-Mooks in time-shifted areas of Lanayru Desert (which later becomes Gerudo Desert) also feature this Red/Blue contrast. In keeping with the Mirror Universe motif, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds gives Princess Zelda of Hyrule blond (i.e. yellow) hair and gives Princess Hilda of Lorule purple hair. The same is true of Link and Ravio. The ancient Sheikah Magitek objects in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will glow orange if Link hasn't activated them or interacted with them yet, and blue if he has. |

Halo has the United Nations Space Command give its soldiers and vehicles a predominantly green color scheme with a boxy, angular aesthetic, evoking the green camo of real-life human soldiers. The enemy Covenant, in contrast, has soldiers and vehicles with a predominantly purple color scheme and a curvier aesthetic. In fact, a sub-faction of Covenant who defect to join the humans switch their colors to green. | |

Justified, as the NES had an extremely limited color palette (53 colors) and they had very little memory to work with on the game. Mario and Luigi contrast one another's trademark hat and shirt colors (Red/Green), as do Wario and Waluigi (Yellow/Purple). The Streamers of Paper Mario: The Origami King usually go through areas that contrast their color. The red one goes through green grassy plains and a mountain; the blue one passes through an orange Forest of Perpetual Autumn; the yellow reaches to a desert that, because the sun is missing, looks to be a dark purple; and the green streamer eventually turns out to be held at Bowser's Castle, which is dark and red. Even the purple Streamer pops against the blue and white of the Great Sea. |

Warhammer 40,000: Some of the oldest Slaaneshi troops use eye-wateringly clashing colors as a matter of principle, both because their god is worshiped through sensory excess of all kinds (both by themselves and their enemies) and because their senses are dulled by centuries of overload and abuse (for example, their armor is hot pink and black because it's one of the few combinations they're still able to tell apart). Orks hold that colors have different effects and paint themselves and their vehicles to achieve the same effects (most famously Red Ones Go Faster, and blue is lucky, black is tough, etc.). Fanon holds that orks believe a combination of orange and purple is the sneakiest possible combination. Why? Well, have you ever seen a seven-foot-tall green-skinned lunatic berserker dressed in hideously contrasting colors? Of course not! That's how sneaky they are. |

Splatoon focuses greatly on covering territory (and pretty much everything else) in ink, so having team colors popping out against each other is key.

Most incarnations of Brainiac use the green-purple contrast, as well as some of his descendants, like Querl Dox/Brainiac 5 from Legion of Super-Heroes. Averted with Brainiac II (from L.E.G.I.O.N), who wears black, white and yellow. | |

In the Metroid series, Samus Aran's standard Power Suit uses reds, oranges, and yellows for the main body, and greens and blues for the visor and highlights. Her helmet and chest armor also stay red when she gains non-standard, predominantly blue suits like the Fusion Suit in Metroid Fusion, the P.E.D. Suit in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and the Dread Suit in Metroid Dread. | |

Friends has this in Monica's apartment. She uses a lot of green and purple for her color scheme as well as other colors in the contrast. This is to reflect at how neat and upkeep Monica keeps her place whereas in contrast, Joey and Chandler's apartment is very dull and faded with all the colors blending together. | |

The Little Mermaid (1989): Word Of God confirmed that one of the reasons Ariel was a redhead instead of the traditional blonde was because of how red would compliment the color of her green tail. Also, as a mermaid, Ariel wears a purple seashell bra, which contrasts to her the color of her tail. Interestingly she is the only mermaid whose seashell bra does not match the color of her tail. |

Transformers: Most (or maybe all) incarnations of Optimus Prime are red and blue. The Constructicons from the original cartoon The Transformers are green and purple, as is Scorponok. As a homage to one of the Constructicons from the original show, Scavenger, from Transformers: Armada, is also green and purple. Ironically, he is an Autobot. |
