In an age where every other hero is an Anti-Hero, how do you tell who to root for? Why, you look at what color the character wears, of course! In visual entertainment, who's good and who's evil is usually distinguished by the colors, and woe be to those who are colorblind. In this trope, different factions will have competing color schemes that makes it instantly clear who the good guys and bad guys are. This can be in the form of clothing, hair or eyes, auras, Energy Weapons, magic powers or a general Color Motif for factions. This has some basis in real life, as during the musket era (i.e. the American Revolution) armies wore contrasting colors to avoid friendly fire. Nevertheless, No Real Life Examples, Please! Tropes like Shades of Conflict and The Dark Side take their names from this idea, but are about moral differences rather than actual colors. Sub-Trope of Color-Coded Characters. See also Color Character, Color-Coded Multiplayer, Chromatic Arrangement, Dress-Coded for Your Convenience, Evil Costume Switch, Good Hair, Evil Hair, Law of Chromatic Superiority, Light Feminine and Dark Feminine, Rainbow Motif. Contrast Mysterious Purple which plays with this idea by using the color purple to intentionally muddy up the distinction between "good" and "bad" to the audience. Please only add examples that don't clearly fit any of the subtropes, or combine multiple subtropes in an unusual way. To fit, a work must have both good colors and evil colors, and a color contrast between the two. noreallife Good Colors Blue Is Calm Blue Is Heroic Cheery Pink Gold and White Are Divine Good Wears White Graceful Ladies Like Purple Green Means Natural Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold Heavenly Blue Innocent Blue Eyes Movie Superheroes Wear Black Pink Heroine Pink Is Erotic Primary-Color Champion Red Is Heroic Vibrant Orange White Is Pure Evil Colors Black Eyes of Crazy Black Eyes of Evil Bright Is Not Good Creepy Blue Eyes Evil Redhead Evil Wears Black (includes purple) Grayscale of Evil Green and Mean Icy Blue Eyes Psycho Pink Red Is Violent (also see Reformed, but Not Tamed) Red and Black and Evil All Over Red and Black Totalitarianism Secondary Color Nemesis Sickly Green Glow Villain in a White Suit White and Red and Eerie All Over Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica uses and subverts these for pretty much every character. Madoka is pink, and generally acts as The Heart, sometimes combined with The Hero in previous timelines, all of which she died in due to her idealism. Sayaka is blue, and tries to be a heroic lancer. Mami is yellow/gold, and acts as the kind and helpful mentor, with a bit of The Ace. Kyouko is dark red, and appears to be madly violent. She nearly kills Sayaka when they first meet. She used to be The Hero, but she quit caring about others when her father killed himself and the rest of her family because of the magic she used to help him. She dies in a final attempt at heroism. Homura is black and purple, and appears to be evil, or at least an uncaring Anti-Hero. She isn't nearly as evil and aloof as she seems, and she started out naive and idealistic. She once wore cutesy bright red glasses, which she ditched upon becoming anti-heroic. Reversed in the last episode; she becomes more like her old self, and starts wearing Madoka's red ribbon. Kyubey is white, yellow, and pink, and is a cute and loveable Talking Animal who dispenses magical wishes and superpowers. But not really. |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): The most obvious case is Ghidorah and the Many having jaundiced-gold scales or flesh, which contrast with Monster X's post-Chapter 7 form having silver traces in its semi-exoskeletal armor; in addition to a Bright Is Not Good / Dark Is Not Evil contrast between them. It's also worth noting Red Is Heroic with Thor, Rodan, and Monster X's red lightning, in contrast to Ghidorah's yellow lightning. | |

Samurai Jack tends to dress villains in red, black, or green (Aku's colors), and puts good guys in white, brown, or other earth tones. Morally ambiguous characters (Like The Scotsman) will have a mix of both. | |

In Heathers, the three main Heathers only wear their own colors and the protagonist, Veronica, wears black and blue to show her outsider status inside their clique. Heather Chandler wears red, showing her leadership status. Her red hair bow shifting to Heather Duke shows the latter's replacement of the former. And Veronica snatching it back from her is used to symbolize the end of the Heathers. The homocidal J.D. is clad entirely in black, showing him as the villain. | |

Somewhat averted in the Honor Harrington universe in that the uniforms of the Royal Manticoran Navy are black, and they're (among) the good guys, but played straight in Shadow Of Freedom. A Solarian representative to a planet run by a dictatorship snarks to herself that the local Presidential Guard dresses in black uniforms, just like the "elite" troops of every tin-pot dictatorship on backwards planets everywhere. Of course, the uniforms of the Solarian Office of Frontier Security Gendarmerie security forces are also in black uniforms... | |

In the first Yu-Gi-Oh series (also known as Season Zero), the good Bakura had natural green eyes, while his darker counterpart had purple eyes. Also, the Shadow Realm has a purple color scheme to it. Yugi's hair, though much of it is black, has pink/red and gold/yellow in it, as if to offset the "evilness" of the black. | |

In the X-Universe series, the Good Republic, Evil Empire trope is subverted with Grey-and-Gray Morality. That said, the factions that are generally treated as good and evil tend to follow this trope. The Argon Federation uses gunmetal gray, and the Kingdom of Boron use bright green. The Split Dynasty uses rusty red, and the Paranid Empire uses bluish purple. The neutral Teladi Space Company leaves their ships mostly unpainted, which translates to dark gray and tan. Meanwhile, the unaligned Terrans paint their ships white with black trim, pirates add Nose Art of red flames and paint the ship red, Xenon ships are black, and Kha'ak ships are purple. |

Although the superpowered characters of Heroes are Not Wearing Tights and tend to realistically cycle through varied daily attire, there are a few noticeable costuming patterns. Beat cop Parkman tends to wear jackets in various shades of blue. Single mom Niki wears normal clothes while her evil split personality Jessica likes all-black femme fatale suits. Boy Scout Hero Peter Petrelli ends up in white quite a bit. And Ubervillain Sylar really, really likes black. | |

Weirdly applied in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, where some fighters who defend the gasoline-rich community wear white, in defiance of the ragged and dusty garments of everyone else. Probably more symbolic of their civilized qualities than "good" per se, as it's not exactly "good" to sucker a passing stranger into a diversionary suicide mission, while you head for the hills with the petrol. | |

Averted in Ikaruga, as due to the polarity mechanic (light is blue and white, while dark is red and black), both the heroes and the villains switch between light and dark, or in the latter's case, use both light and dark simultaneously, making it a case of Light Is Good and Dark Is Not Evil versus Light Is Not Good and Dark Is Evil. | |

The Shin Megami Tensei games have traditionally used blue/white for the forces of the Law (religious nutjobs) and red/black for the forces of Chaos (plain evil or Anti-Hero depending on the game). In Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, the player's side's demonicas have gold helms and gray bodies. Jack's Crew uses all-black Demonicas. |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has Simon and Kamina's titular mecha as primarily Red (The Hero), while the Spiral King, Lordgenome, has his mecha almost entirely black (Card-Carrying Villain). Additionally, Viral's Enkidu is mostly white. Given his unflinching loyalty to Lordgenome and the Four Generals, this seems appropriate. | |

A Practical Guide to Evil enforces this trope because its world runs on heroic fantasy tropes. Heroes, Villains and Anti-Heroes are conveniently color-coded and dressing out of element has been known to make people feel uncomfortable: “Don’t mind me,� I grunted. “It just suddenly hit home that I’m leading a Legion of Terror while wearing a black cape and plotting nefarious things in the dark.� | |

In The Princess and the Frog, colors help to differentiate the good alligators from the bad ones; the menacing gang of gators that Tiana and Naveen first encounter are a deep grayish shade of green, while the fun-loving Louis is a warmer light olive-green. | |

Harry Potter: For the most part, it seems that red is good and green is bad. Gryffindor House is represented by scarlet red and gold, the non-fatal combat spells normally used by the heroes (Stupefy and Expelliarmus) create red light, and the Weasleys all have flaming red hair. Conversely, Slytherin House is represented by emerald green and silver, the Killing Curse used pretty much only by the bad guys (Avada Kedavra) creates green light, and two snakes employed by Voldemort (the basilisk and Nagini) are both described as being greennote Neither were green in the film versions.. However, there is one huge dent in this pattern — it is constantly mentioned that Harry has green eyes while Voldemort has red eyes. Inverted in one of the most evil persons in the books: Dolores Umbridge - she loooves pink (and cute little kittens). |

Front Mission: In the first game the IFF beacon behind dialogue text always shows up blue when the Canyon Crows or their allies speak and red when the enemy forces are talking. The first game begins with OCU soldiers piloting white wanzers. Later in the game has a good-vs-evil that splits the two common villain colors green and purple: the Canyon Crows are said to be mercenaries of the PMO (later to be seen in green wanzers, a peaceful and down-to-earth color) and are fighting against terrorists in violet wanzers. The Reveal leads to a Perspective Flip, showing green in its villain spin and purple in a mere Anti-Hero interpretation. |

Detentionaire has some red-vs-blue symbolism, but here, red generally indicates good (the Red Tazelwurm, Lee's hair) and blue bad (the blue robot Tazelwurms, The Serpent's hair). A slightly more on-the-nose example would be Borrage's robotic eye changing from its usual red to blue whenever he's being Mind Controlled by the bad guys. | |

Gundam 00 plays this straight with GN particle emissions. Celestial Being uses drives that give off blue-green particles, whereas the antagonists give off red and gold particles. Justified in that Celestial Being uses "true" GN drives, whereas the antagonists use incomplete, reverse-engineered GN drives. | |

The Dark Knight Rises: Good is black, bad is brown. This is especially obvious when Batman dressed in Black leads the Gotham Police (who wear black uniforms, despite being boys in blue) in the Bat (comes in black), while Catwoman (black catsuit) rides the Bat-Pod (also comes in black). Bane wears a brown jacket, and the League of Shadows/freed inmates all wear brown or orange gear, and their stolen Tumblers are all in brown camos because they hadn't been repainted black yet. This also tips you off early on that Catwoman is destined for a High-Heel–Face Turn. | |

The Eagle Vision in Assassin's Creed lets Altair and Ezio use their instincts to color-code people, allies are blue, potential enemies are red, and quest targets are yellow. Also, while Assassins traditionally wear white hooded robes, both the Templar-aligned Rodrigo Borgia and Hunter wear black instead. | |

Futari Wa Pretty Cure Blue Moon has the Etherium, a group of villains who wear white and those who turn good get black uniforms (Anti-Hero). Smug Snake Kainatrol has a dark red colour scheme setting off her white uniform, while more sympathetic villain Mekuramast (her opponent in the Enemy Civil War) has light blue. Dark Magical Girl Millusion has dark blue-green, and the other villains wear bright green, purple, and gold (though the last one, wearing a Good Colour, gets considerably less pagetime). Asa and Yoko themselves are symbolized by pink/orange and blue/black, though these choices came from the design sheet the story was based upon and the inversion of black and white has already been stated. Dawn and Mia are both symbolized by pink and bright red. | |

Dad Villain AU: While Tom is much nicer and far more sympathetic than Gabriel, the fact remains that he is still using the Butterfly Brooch to hunt down his predecessor and make the former supervillain pay for how he's hurt his family. To this end, his costume as Viceroy is primarily made up of dark purples and a black suit. Emelie is an Unwitting Pawn in her husband's Revenge by Proxy scheme; however, she is also a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who blithely uses the Peacock Pin's powers as she pleases despite how it's clearly broken. Even after she finally learns that the magical backlash from her using the Pin is being redirected onto innocent victims, she still unhesitatingly transforms in an effort to save her husband from Viceroy's wrath. Due to this, she gets the same dark palette as the previous universe's Mayura, blue-skinned and with pink hair rather than dark blue. |

World of Warcraft colors the nametag of each player according to this, blue being allies (or PvP-disabled enemies in some zones and servers) and red being hostiles. Inbetween we have green for allied NPCs and yellow for neutrals, as well as orange for unfriendly (which is mostly the same as neutral, except that you can't talk to them). Outside of gameplay mechanics, there are also elements of this trope in the storyline. Blood Elves took to wearing red in mourning of their fallen brethren. As a result, the High Elves (who the Blood Elves have had a bit of a falling out with) never wear red. Red, Green, and Bronze dragons are (for the most part) good. Black dragons are evil, and Blue dragons are only evil in Northrend. The creation of the Twilight Dragonflight also adds purple, dark blue, and magenta to the list of evil dragon colors. Bright, unnatural green is firmly in the Evil Color territory as it is the color of corrupt Fel magic. Naturally, the Burning Legion likes this color a lot. In Val'Sharah, the Emerald Nightmare is represented by red and rather visceral-looking violet while the uncorrupted land is very green with a touch of purplish blue. |

In the original trilogy, clothing followed a fairly simple white = good/innocent, black = evil metric: Luke as a farm boy: pure white clothing. See also Leia as rebel princess. Han Solo: black vest over a white shirt (his lawless exterior conceals a good interior. Darth Vader: Pure black, evil all the way down. Stormtroopers: White armor over black under-clothing (ostensibly the space cops/good guys but actually evil underneath). This coloring is even more notable with the Clone Army. Though they initially appear good, they are eventually revealed to be evil and kill the Jedi. Luke in danger of falling to the Dark side: black clothing, ripped in ROTJ to reveal it's actually white underneath. "Neutral" characters that help the heroes, but aren't heroes, dress in brown (Chewbacca, Obi-Wan). And note that Obi-Wan wears brown over white. He's been in self-imposed exile for many years, staying clear of the Empire and the Rebellion, but at his core he's a good guy who is quick to help when he learns he is needed. On the remastered collector's edition of Return of the Jedi, George Lucas comments about the costume choices for the Empire and Rebels. Empire uniforms typically were colorless (black or white) or otherwise subdued to make them less friendly. Rebel uniforms however used natural colors to emphasize warmth and friendliness. | |

Knights of the Old Republic: Every character-page picture has a colored background reflecting their force alignment. Neutrals will have gray, dark siders have red background, and light siders have blue (and at the very top, they will stand in a pillar of radiant light, against a dark-blue starry sky backdrop). They will also take on an increasingly hostile stance the darker they get. There was also an aversion of this in the second game. At one point on Onderon, you come across two aliens arguing about who the people should support, the good Queen Talia or the two-faced General Vaklu. The alien in support of the "evil" General is blue-skinned, while the one supporting the Queen is not only red-skinned, but has horns! There was also a subversion in the form of Atris, who is a Jedi dressed in the whitest of pristine white with a blue lightsaber and is even depicted in the game's promotional material as the 'face' of the Light Side for the game. She goes Sith towards the end, without the obligatory Evil Costume Switch for black, and even before then never appears as anything more than a judgemental, self-righteous bitch. Blue and red were also used throughout the interface as shorthand for "light side"/"dark side", which was carried over to Jade Empire for Open Palm/Closed Fist ratings as well. In Mass Effect, however, this changes to blue and orange (no relation) to emphasize that Renegade is less about card-carrying villainy and more about pragmatism. |

In Westworld, the heroine Dolores is wearing a blue dress. When William, who does not want to kill the hosts, arrives at the park, he is wearing brown and earthy colours and a white hat, whereas his friend Logan, who enjoys showing his dark side in the park, is wearing black. When William is beginning to show a darker side, he is wearing dark grey and eventually black. The Man in Black who is revealed to be William in 30 years is dressed in black. | |

The Order of the Stick on at least four occasions character's clothes have changed to indicate alignment shift: Belkar's clothes turn white when a Wisdom boost gives him empathy and briefly makes him intend to become Good. Miko Miyazaki's uniform turns gray when the gods punish her for murdering Shojo. Word of God is that this represents alignment-restricted magic items powering down. When Vaarsuvius makes a Deal with the Devil, their robes turn black and their speech bubbles switch to a black background. Lampshaded when Haley notices the color change and starts panicking over the implications. Belkar calls her on being prejudiced and overreacting which calms Haley down. Belkar being Belkar, he then whispers a congratulations to them for coming over to the "deep end" of the alignment pool. When Durkon is turned into a vampire by Malack, which forces an alignment shift to Evil, his armour becomes dark grey and black. |

In the Resident Evil series heroic Chris favors green, Leon and Jill wear blue, while Claire and Ada wear red. And of course, Big Bad Albert Wesker is always decked out in black. Leon is something of a combo-breaker in that he does seem to favor blue, but half the times he appears he wears no blue at all, instead wearing black, brown, army green and/or dark gray. Also, his original outfit was a police uniform, so he didn't get any say in picking the color. | |

In DEADLOCK, each of the seven races are represented by a different colour - and that's the only thing visually separating many of their things, such as tanks and flags. The colours are often somewhat representative of the races (the Cyth get black and are the most devious and "evil" of the races, whereas the mighty Tarth warriors get a dark, blood red). | |

Soul Eater is a very colorful series, literally and otherwise. The given colors for evil tend to be red and black (predominantly Asura, but also madness and bad things in general), with the series' grim reapers adopting the classic black-and-white combination (even down to their hair color) in contrast to the protagonists' usually bright surroundings. Souls (when they're seen by someone who can sense soul wavelengths) in the anime also fit this: Blue: Good/Normal human (only villains eat these). Red: Corrupted human (anyone with a red soul is fair game). Purple: Witch or misc. (act as Upgrade Artifacts, mostly chaotic evil). Yellow: Lord Death and Death the Kid have yellow/gold souls. Fitting for being the Big Good and The Ace, respectively. The werewolf Free has a unique green soul, and is generally working with purple-souled witches. |

Tiny Titans: One issue sees Talon summon a group of Tiny Titans from an alternate universe. The only visual difference between them and the main universe Titans is the colors of their clothes, which favor stereotypical "evil" colors; according to them, in their universe, the Secondary Color Nemesis and Primary-Color Champion tropes have been switched around, meaning that green and purple are seen as stereotypically "good" colors while red and yellow are "evil". | |

In EVE Online, friendly targets are highlighted with a blue background while hostiles are highlighted with red. Thus, the two most common rules of engagement are called Not Blue Shoot It (defaults to hostile) and Not Red Don't Shoot (defaults to friendly). Any legal target, regardless of relationship, is also displayed as red by default. With pink being the default colour for other people in your fleet, there is also the slightly less common Not Pink Shoot It rule of engagement which is the default MO on Ganknightsnote Fleets of (by default otherwise unrelated) people from a third-party community site just going on a rampage in a random direction while often including at least a few people which are blue to the residents of the area which is getting visited usually leading to hot blue-on-blue action and diplomatic fallout in the aftermath. |

Juggled all over the place in The Stormlight Archive. The heroic House Kholin has blue as their color, while the evil House Sadeas wears green. On the other hand, Highprince Sadeas is always noted to have a very ruddy complexion. Furthermore, we have Shallan Davar, who has bright red hair and whose Shard has glowing red lines along it. While she is a Radiant, she's a Lightweaver, the Order of Radiants whose specialty was manipulation and lies. Then we have Kaladin, whose Shard glows blue to mark him as a Windrunner, the order of Radiants focused on honor and protection. Just to round things out, the inhuman Parshendi have red and black skin, and their eyes turn red when they evolve into Voidbringers but most of them aren't evil, they just want to take back their planet which was stolen by the original Voidbringers, humans. Odium, the God of Evil, is most directly associated with white and gold. He is often incorrectly associated with the color red (as demonstrated by his Voidbringers), but red actually symbolizes one Shard using the power of another, and Odium loves corrupting things. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Original Series: Comparing the greens worn by Long Feng and the Dai Li to most other members of the Earth Kingdom, you'll notice theirs are much darker (to the point of being mistakable for black), symbolizing their corruption. The Grand Finale completely messes with this trope, having two determining fights happening in parallel: Aang/Ozai and Azula/Zuko. Both were red, or a kind of orange, versus blue. But in one fight, Blue was good, in the other, blue was evil. Inverted when Zuko dreams of two dragons who attempt to sway them to their viewpoints. The good dragon is colored red, while the evil dragon is colored blue. The same dichotomy is also played with Avatar Roku and Fire Lord Sozin, who each had a dragon mount, but Roku's dragon was red, while Sozin's was blue. Sequel Series The Legend of Korra mostly plays this straight, with a few aversions and subversions: The Equalists, Vaatu, and the Red Lotus all go for the classic red and black (despite very different ideologies to both one another and the Fire Nation that wore it in the previous series). Dark spirits are meanwhile invariably black or near-black highlighted with a variety of harsh neons. And the Northern Water Tribe, led by fanatical Unalaq, Vaatu's servant, goes for deeper navy blues instead of the Southern Water Tribe's light tones. Meanwhile Korra and Raava (specifically Vaatu's counterpart) are both in cyan and white, and non-corrupted spirits are typically bright but natural shades. Korra's best friends Mako and Bolin wear earthy red and green, respectively, and even the reformed Fire Nation's tones are more warm and subdued, though Fire Lord Izumi keeps the same color tones her grandfather (and his predecesors) had. On the other hand, the Earth Empire's green and silver look downright heroic, and Varrick wears the same cyan and white as Korra while gleefully conning everybody out of everything, while Red Herring Mole Asami Sato wears pretty much the same color scheme as the aforementioned Equalists, but remains loyal to the end. |

American Ninja: Ninja Joe is decked out in a black ninja outfit for the final battle. The enemy ninja army are also decked out in exactly the same black ninja outfit. The only way to identify Joe is by his red belt, which from many angles can't even be seen. I guess it's a cunning plan on Joe's part. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Metallic dragons (gold, silver, copper, brass and bronze) are good and chromatic dragons (red, green, black, white and blue) are evil. Some settings also include gem dragons (amethyst, crystal, emerald, sapphire and topaz), who are neutral. The idea of color-coded dragons was probably lifted from the Dragonriders of Pern novels, particularly given that metal-colored dragons are physically larger than their non-metallic counterparts in both Pern and D&D. The Eberron campaign setting plays with this. Whereas dragons all have "Always [Character Alignment]" in the core books, in Eberron this is changed to "usually" or "often". Surprise your party with a principled revolutionary red dragon fighting against a charming but tyrannical gold dragon! |

In Big Hero 6, the team checks off almost all of the stated "good" colors - blue, cherry red, green, pink, and yellow. In concept art for Hiro's supersuit, you can see that his suit was originally planned to be blue and red instead of purple and red and the purple can apply to the "neutral" side. Yokai, on the other hand, is clothed almost entirely in black with a tiny bit of red. | |

Extremely prevalent in Smallville. Clark normally wears lots of reds and blues. Red jacket/blue shirt is basically his only outfit in the middle seasons. When he becomes detached from humanity, he wears black. Chloe usually wears a lot of bright colours and you know something is wrong when she wears black. Or white. Lex almost always wears black. Lana wears so much pink in the first three seasons it has become a Running Gag. It got more varied later and goes all black when she becomes shady in middle-late seasons. Zod and all Kandorians wear black or a dark, murky green/brown. How do you show that Bizarrow is the opposite of Clark, and evil? Well, you swap the colors to blue jacket/red shirt and make both darker. Another indication is the "speed aura", a translucent trail left behind by a character with Super-Speed. Bart Allen (good) has red, Zod in Lex's body (evil) has orange, Lana has a faint purple aura when evil and a burning orange aura when good, making it the straightest example, Raya (good) has yellow, Maxima (neutral-ish) has green, Bizarro (evil, but interestingly, when masquerading as Clark his aura turns blue; we'll leave the question of whether it is covered by Willing Suspension of Disbelief to you) and Brainiac (Obviously Evil) had black, Doomsday (pure evil) has dark grey, Alia (evil-ish) has white, Stephen Swift (good) has gold, Major Zod has white/yellow when he still in an uneasy alliance with Clark, but once demonstrated a black aura later (it is actually recycled footage of Bizarro in flight, though). |

Halo: Most Covenant technology comes in a shade of purple, while humanity typically uses a mix of earthy, camouflaging greens, plus utilitarian browns and grays. The robots of the ancient and highly advanced Forerunners tend to be silver, and the parasitic Flood go for unnatural green. In Halo 3, "stealthy" Jiralhanae wear black. Because they're ninja space gorilla-men. Stealth or Spec-Ops Elites tend to wear dark colors, the main exception being the white Spec-Ops commander Rtas 'Vadum. 343 Guilty Spark's eye and Eye Beams are blue when he is on your side, but turn red when he goes rampant. In Halo 5: Guardians, the Covenant remnant still come in purple, but the heroic Swords of Sanghelios have all their stuff in red. |

The MMORPG in which Noob is set has different colored cursors for the members of each player faction (yellow for the Empire, red for the Coalition, green for the Order). The cursor turns grey if a player get kicked out of their faction, which means they can be attacked by all three. Early-Installment Weirdness from the webseries gave Game Masters blue ones. | |

The Big Daddies and security devices in BioShock all use their lights' colors to indicate their allegiance — green if they're on your side, red if they're hostile to you. This can be explained by Ryan wanting to avoid another Suchong incident for the Big Daddies (letting the public know when not to approach one). The security bots can be explained as intimidation value, as can the siren; thieves get scared if a screeching, red glowing machine gun armed bot comes flying at them, and they stop thinking properly long enough to get shot. | |

On Steven Universe, the heroic Crystal Gems were led by Rose Quartz, who was light pink. Her son Steven inherited her gem. Pearl is extremely white-pale, Garnet as a fusion is light reddish purple , a combination of Ruby's red and Sapphire's blue, and Amethyst is a light purple. Lion is pink, and Connie's glasses are red before she stops wearing them. Most of the enemy gems have been green-yellow or blue in color. Jasper, the Centipeetle, and the Desert Glass all are yellow or green in hue. The Drill Parasites, the Invisible Monster's gemstone, the Light House gem, and Malachite are all blue. This is because Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond have been set up as part of the show's Evil Empire Hierarchy, and naturally those who share their coloration would be enemies. Played with concerning Peridot and Lapis Lazuli. Both are gems sharing colors with the Big Bads, and both are antagonistic towards the heroes. However, in subsequent episodes, they grow more sympathetic to the heroes' cause and join the Crystal Gems. Orange and Black also seem more associated with adversaries. For Orange: The not-really-Red Eye, the Sea Worm Monster, the gemstone Garnet is seen returning with in the episode Garnet's Universe, and the Giant Crab the Crystal Gems battle in Rising Tides/Crashing Skies. For Black: The Smoke Creature from Together Breakfast, the Giant Bird defeated by Opal, the Injectors at the Kindergarten, and of course The Slinker. The finale of Season 5 has the colorful Crystal Gems going up against the monochrome White Diamond. Anyone mind-controlled by her also becomes colorless. |

Batman: Batman dresses in gray with blue and yellow. Robin dresses like an explosion in a paint factory. Lampshaded when Batman explains that one of the reasons Robin wears bright colors is because he plays good cop to Batman's bad. With some Deus Angst Machina in Tim Drake's life, he changed his costume to be less colorful than before — and his first costume was less bright than that of his predecessors, fitting his more subdued personality. Tim was also associated with green as The Smart Guy in comparison to his more impulsive Young Justice teammates. Batman's rogues like the Joker, the Riddler, the Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy, Ra's al Ghul, and Two-Face (sometimes) favor green and/or purple. | |

Although all of the main characters in Equilibrium, both evil and good, wear black for the majority of the film, the climactic final battle sees the protagonist in a stunningly-white ceremonial uniform, while every one of the antagonists he fights — from the motorcycle-helmeted goons to the Big Bad himself — is dressed entirely in black. | |

Star Wars: The Old Republic At launch, dark side characters had to use red color crystals, while light side characters had to use blue or green color crystals. This was soon changed to allow increased character customization: for one thing, it affected blasters, not just lightsabers, the overwhelming majority of which fire red bolts in canon no matter who is doing the shooting. The game had some fun with the franchise's general "blue = Light Side/red = Dark Side" motif with the 2016 Dark vs. Light event. One of the rewards was one of two companions, depending which side won; the Light Side companion was a Chiss (a blue-skinned species) Jedi and the Dark Side companion was a red-skinned Zabrak Sith. (The Light Side won. The Dark Side companion was added a year later.) |

In The Lord of the Rings, the Istari are all associated with a specific color: Gandalf the Gray, Radagast the Brown, and Saruman the White (there were also two more Istari known as the Blue Wizards, though they're only mentioned briefly in some of Tolkien's other works and never actually appear). When Saruman becomes corrupted, he styles himself Saruman of Many Colours, though still uses a white hand or S sign as his symbol. When Gandalf returns to Middle Earth, he replaces Saruman as Gandalf the White. Sauron is associated with black and red. His banner is a red eye on a black field. In the fight on the bridge of Khazad-Dum, Gandalf's sword Glamdring glows blue (as Elvish swords always do in the proximity of evil creatures), while the Balrog's sword glows red, similar to the page image. Gondor/The Reunited Kingdom, being an entire nation of badass heroes, has black as its main heraldic color. | |

In the original novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, it's specifically pointed out that Dorothy is seen as a Good Witch by the Munchkins because she wears blue (the color of Munchkinland) and white (symbolizing witchiness). As one of many parallels, Wicked has Nessarose (a.k.a. The Wicked Witch of the East) specifically wear blue and white as her Boarding School uniform colours, before she turns evil. Wicked - particularly the musical - is built around a subversion of this trope; everyone assumes Elphaba is evil because of her lurid green skin. She is, in fact, the misunderstood heroine. |

In GI Joe The Rise Of Cobra Storm Shadow, the evil ninja, always wears white, while Snake Eyes, the good ninja, always wears black. Given that both are Asian and thus black and white are associated with heaven and death respectively in their culture it makes sense that they would choose to reflect their roles as hero and assassin using those colors. | |

MonsterVerse: Godzilla's Atomic Breath produces blue light, whereas a couple of his enemies — the MUTOs in Godzilla (2014) and Mechagodzilla in Godzilla vs. Kong — instead produce red light with their powers. Even Rodan functions as an antagonist in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019). Zig-Zagging Trope, as Godzilla himself briefly turns red via his Burning mode. Taking this association further, Monarch's bases tend to be lit with blue and green light. Yellow and gold are considered evil colors here, due to Ghidorah: the Senate boardroom and Jonah's hijacked Monarch base are lit yellow, and Monarch's alarm klaxons flash gold. |

The killer and detective in Death Note are lit by vivid red and blue lights respectively during internal monologue, regardless of the natural lighting of the scene. Later on, Matsuda gets yellow, and both Mogi and Aizawa get green. Even outside their monologues, Light (the murderer) tends to wear darker colours, while L is in an off-white T-shirt and jeans. Also, the ruthless and slightly unhinged Mello wears all black, while his calmer, less aggressive rival Near wears all white and has white hair. However, Naomi Misora, undoubtedly one of the good guys, bucks the trend by always wearing black and had a fondness for leather. | |

Lost: Jacob wears white, Jacob's nemesis wears black (this plot point was apparently foreshadowed since the pilot, when Locke tells Walt about how backgammon has two players, two sides, one light and one dark). Subverted, however, by the fact that this color more reflects their philosophy (humans are good but flawed vs a more cynical view) and neither appears to have an upper hand morally (Jacob seems to have caused the death of Nadia and basically manipulates everyone in their past to come to the Island while Jacob's nemesis manipulates Locke in order to take his body. | |

In the newer Persona games, player characters always summon their Personae with a blue aura. Shadows and enemy Persona users have a red aura. This is used as something of a minor storytelling element in Persona 5. The Traitor, Goro Akechi, is a double subversion; they have the heroic blue aura as a Guest-Star Party Member, but after showing their true colors at the start of the second phase of their boss battle, they switch to the usual villainous red. In Royal, after pulling a Heel–Face Turn and rejoining your party, they go back to blue. | |

Red vs. Blue. It's in the name, it's lampshaded, averted, subverted, and generally thrown out the window starting with the first episode. However, when they wrote the first episode, it was merely making fun of that aspect of Halo's multiplayer, so it was entirely justified. Generally ignored or lampshaded with the BG crew — they're more or less team colored. Even Donut. Doc wears purple because he's on loan to both Red and Blue teams, but becomes the villain when O'malley possesses him. He returns to being a pacifist when O'Malley leaves. The Freelancers take this trope and throw it through a meatgrinder. To whit: Agents North and South Dakota both wear green/purple. One is the nicest, friendliest, team-centric, most heroic mercenary you've ever met, and the other is a jealous, competitive, backstabbing, second-stringer. Agents Wyoming and Maine wear white armor. For Maine it could be argued that he fits the crazy mold. Wyoming, however, is merely a coward. York wears tan. While Carolina starts as a hero... Tex actually fits this, being the distilled anti-heroine badass that she is. Wash wears black armor; though he was introduced as a relatively-light anti-hero, he was adorkable in the backstory and an actual effective villain later, though never even remotely as effective an Agent as Tex, Maine, York, or Carolina. There's the anonymous blue guy though Played Straight in that he turns out to be the very laidback Butch Flowers... and evil as PHUCK. CT wears brown. She's the least down-to-earth person there is. The Director and Councilor actually play this one straight, wearing all black and often remaining in shadows. |

Malinda Kathleen Reese: In the music video for "Don't Make Me", the colors of white (heroic) and black (evil) are contrasted throughout. Malinda and her allies are wearing white dresses and undergarments, while the villains are wearing black suits. Meanwhile, whenever the video cuts back to the evil queen version of Malinda, she's wearing a black dress instead, and this morality switch is cemented when she looks in the mirror at the end of the video to see her reflection wearing black. | |

The color of beam weaponry, especially in UC and AD were especially color-coded, with the protagonists using purple/pinkish colors with the villains using yellow/orange-ish colors. UC in particular used different colors for special suits such as Delta Plus used blue colors and Kshatriya using green. However, Wing and SEED mainly used a singular color (yellow and green, respectively). Although the AC Gundams' melee beam weaponry are colored green and pink for OZ suits instead. And in SEED's case, Gundams stolen through Gundamjacks and the beam weaponry tech developed from those suits are main reasons for having mostly similar beam colors in the CE timeline. | |

The Bomberman series often portray a rivalry between the Bomberman in the white suit and the Bomberman in the black suit. The Bomberman Land series takes this trope further by having a full team of color-coded characters and giving them all names like "Cheerful White", "Cool Black", "Cute Pink" and so forth, explaining what each character's color represents. | |

The guns on G.I. Joe shoot red or blue lasers, depending on the affiliation of the shooter. You can tell how old a show was by the color of the weapons: In the early animated series, the Joes had red beams but Cobra had blue beams. Later on, the two sides have switched colors. Sometimes, the laser guns would even change their color to accommodate the wielder. A Joe could pick up a discarded Cobra rifle and still be assured of it firing his own team color (this was probably an animation error rather than intentional, but it's fun to imagine that there's a "good/evil" switch on the side of each weapon). | |

Command & Conquer: Red Alert. The Soviets are red, the Allies blue. Justified in that Soviets were, of course, communist, hence "Reds." And in the Yuri's Revenge expansion pack for Red Alert 2, the renegade faction led by Yuri is purple. The earlier Dune games (made by the same people as Command & Conquer) took this trope to a ridiculous degree by having blue Atreides (good guys) and red Harkonnens (bad guys), with the Ordos being a sickly green. Note that the books don't have the Ordosnote specifically, the canon books do not have the Ordos. Westwood used the Dune Encyclopedia as a major source, which mentions a House Ordos and erroneously has the Harkonnen emblem as a ram, which the Dune games then followed, and that the Atreides are a (natural) green (and black), with the Harkonnens blue and the Corrino being scarlet and gold. But apparently, you're not allowed to have green good guys and blue bad guys in an RTS. Oddly, however, it seems you are allowed to have green good guys and red villains: the original Command and Conquer had a green-and-gold scheme for the GDI, and a red-black-silver scheme for Nod. |

Bonnie Tyler's music video for "Holding Out for a Hero" shows her singing while being menaced by three bad outlaw cowboys dressed in black and riding on black horses and rescued by a hero cowboy dressed in white and riding a White Stallion. This is the full extent of the characterisation of these figures. | |

In Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, soldiers from The Empire use lasguns with a red beam, while those faithful to Chaos wield green ones. This being 40k, you ultimately can't call either faction good, though. | |

The Three Musketeers features (good) Musketeers in blue and (bad) Cardinal's Guards in red. Historically, both groups wore blue, and in both real life and the original Dumas novels, the two groups simply had a fierce rivalry rather than being a good/bad dichotomy. | |

In The Bible, scarlet is often associated with sin, while white is almost always holiness. This is especially significant in the sacrifices, where the innocent substitutes for the guilty and (literally with lambs, symbolically with Jesus) white becomes covered in scarlet. | |

Mega Man Zero plays with this on multiple accounts. Zero (Good Is Not Nice) is mid tone red and dark blue (subversion of dark blue being evil as it seems to be for providing contrast in his sprite). Harpuia is natural green and white, but is an antagonist. Foreshadows him being a decent person stuck in a bad situation. Omega (Ax-Crazy) is blood red and dark blue, or more accurately, a darker version of Zero's color scheme. | |

In Deltora Quest the colour schemes of the Tribes/Territories are generally made up of earthy tones or bright primary colours (you can tell the Gems are good because they're brightly coloured). Everything associated with the Shadow Lord or his minions, on the other hand, tends to be ugly grey, black, or dull red (usually grey). | |

Blue and red were also used throughout the interface as shorthand for "light side"/"dark side", which was carried over to Jade Empire for Open Palm/Closed Fist ratings as well. In Mass Effect, however, this changes to blue and orange (no relation) to emphasize that Renegade is less about card-carrying villainy and more about pragmatism. | |

Transformers Film Series continues the tradition: The Autobot good-guys have glowing blue eyes, whereas the "evil" Decepticons have glowing red eyes. The usage of this trope is best seen when Wheelie's eye gets damaged when he's convinced to leave the Decepticons for the Autobots, turning one of his red eyes to blue. | |

TRON: The film is probably one of the best-known "blue heroes, red villains" works. This carries over into the newest film TRON: Legacy. In both, it's a case of Exaggerated and Justified Trope, as a Program's Tron Lines give away its alignment, function, and origin. The best example of this is when Rinzler (aka the "believed deceased" Tron) snaps out of Brainwashed and Crazy. His lines change from orange-red to bluish-silver. In the early designs for the film, however, the colors were different. It would have been yellow for those allied with the Users, and light blue (which showed up as green for some reason) for the MCP and his forces, but Executive Meddling forced the filmmakers to change it to the more standard "blue for good, red for bad" seen in the final film.note Though since the scenes with CLU at the beginning were already done by this time, the original colors can be seen during this part. Inverted in the Intellivision version of TRON Deadly Discs — Since the people making the game were given an earlier draft of the script, Tron in that game is red while the MCP's warriors are (mostly) blue. note Simple color goof in 1982, but Harsher in Hindsight come the sequel. The video game sequel, Tron 2.0, takes this farther with an extended color-coding scheme. Good guys are blue, neutrals are yellow, and villains are red (for security programs), sickly green (for virally infected programs), or purple (for the rival company's programs), depending on their affiliation. The Space Paranoids portion of Kingdom Hearts II has a similar setup, since it's directly based on Tron. Same with the Grid in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], being inspired by Tron Legacy. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic (the hero) is blue, Knuckles (the tough guy) is a cherry red, Amy Rose and Rouge the Bat (the chicks) have extensive pink colouring, Shadow the Hedgehog (Anti-Hero) is red and black, and Eggman is covered in red, yellow, and black - good old evil commie colours. Team Chaotix include a lot of the transition colours, alluding to their use as more neutral characters. It's still going on - Princess Blaze consists of much purple (for royalty). Silver is almost entirely white, with some hints of gold and blue as a Messianic Archetype. |

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has this in spades. Both inverted and played straight in that Dr. Horrible (the villain/protagonist) wears white while Captain Hammer (the hero/antagonist) wears black. Dr. Horrible's white outfit also represents his innocence and kindness, which is sharply contrasted when he switches to a blood red lab coat to represent the blood on his hands, and as a standard villain color to demonstrate that he's taking his villainy more seriously. | |

In Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, helpful characters are represented with a prominent motif of a particular shade of yellow in their design - Big Boss's yellow stripes, Kaz, Amanda and Chico all wear various yellow scarves, Cécile has a yellow necklace, and Huey has a yellow detail on his wheelchair. Antagonists are represented with a prominent motif of a particular shade of red - red details on Pupa, Chrysalis, Cocoon and Peace Walker, Coldman has a red pocket square, Strangelove wears a red coat and a red tie, and Zadornov has a literal Red Right Hand. This becomes foreshadowing when you notice Paz wears a red coat and a red bow. | |

In Hazbin Hotel the fourth episode has a Quarreling Song between Alastor and Lucifer as they both compete for Charlie's affection and attention (Lucifer because Charlie is his beloved daughter, Alastor to get Lucifer's goat since Lucifer is a threat to his power). Lucifer's scenes in the song are all red and golden yellow with blue backgrounds, while Alastor's are neon green and purple with dark purple and black backgrounds. When Mimzy interrupts the song, her scenes are pink. Alastor also shows these colors when singing a Dark Reprise in the Pilot. The former is also notable because in Alastor's previous Quarreling Song against Vox, "Stayed Gone", Alastor's color was red, in this case to Vox's electric blue. That was a subversion, as they were both evil anyway. |

Splatoon uses randomly-assigned but vibrantly contrasting color schemes for the two teams competing against one another in the main game. But the three AI-controlled factions in the single-player and Player Versus Environment modes have designated colors: the Octarian army uses a highly saturated purple, Salmonid "ink"note implied to be a toxic waste with similar properties is always a sickly shade of dark green, and "Sanitized" Octarian "ink" is a uniquely uneven cyan that is actually a cross between a bioweapon and a new primordial soup, made from the test subjects before you. | |

In the RPG Albion, you enter a dungeon with red and green pressure plates. The green plates have positive effects (they open doors that block your way, or treasure rooms), while red ones more or less negative ones (they release monsters or open rooms with cursed items). There's also a room with a blue pressure plate, which serves as a bait for anybody curious to find out what it does. (It opens a trap door, sending the party crashing down below.) | |

When Hulk Hogan did a Face–Heel Turn and started the nWo, he traded in his traditional red and yellow gear for black and white (which soon became the official colors of the nWo). Sting also traded in his colorful neon garb for black and white during this angle, though in his case, it was to symbolize his transformation into a brooding Anti-Hero. | |

Doctor Who frequently contrasts the generally more casual and natural tones (with some incarnations as the exception) against clinically sterile white high tech (especially during the black and white era of the Second Doctor) or gray gunmetal environments. (Significantly, the Doctor switched from darker clothes when the series switched from black and white to color.) The Doctor's Evil Counterpart, the Master, wears black, except when in disguise. In "The Trial of a Time Lord," the Sixth Doctor's multi-colored suit is in stark contrast with his antagonist Knacker's Yard Farmyard Valeyard's black with-white-trim robes. Made all the more jarring when it is revealed that the Valeyard is actually his evil self. It should be noted that the Sixth Doctor plays with this trope; while all the other Doctors tend towards black, brown, beige, or otherwise muted colors, the Sixth, the most anti-heroic Doctor, wears almost ludicrously garish colors, and even has blonde, curly hair. Subsequent novels and audio dramas reclad him in blue. The End of Time plays it straight with the Doctor in a brown suit and blue shirt, and the Master in a black hoodie and jeans and a red shirt. And the Big Bads? The Time Lords wear red robes with black and gold accents. Clearly they're evil. Played with by the colour scheme of Davros' new Daleks with their friendly gold and off-white cream-colored scheme. (But then he originally designed them while passing himself off as a good guy in "Revelation of the Daleks".) "Remembrance of the Daleks" played with this in a Light Is Not Good way by comparing them to rise of racial extremism in 1960s Britain; essentially, the Daleks became literal (off-)white supremacists. And played with in "Victory of the Daleks", where the "New Paradigm" Daleks are color-coded by function— all in fairly bright and cheerful hues. |

In The Legend of Dragoon Emperor Doel, the evil purple trope straight, being the Emperor as well as the Dragoon of Thunder. Lloyd, Meru, Lenus, and the rest of the Winglies have white hair, referred to as platinum in-game. The good guys are bound to their elements though, which means they play about half the colours straight and subvert the rest. | |

Blake's 7: Blake favored light-colored clothing and earth tones. Avon favored dark clothing and leather, which only got darker and nastier-looking the further he plunged off the slippery slope. Cally seemed to have a thing for blues while Dayna liked jewel tones. Vila's clothing was as drab as possible, probably because he did not like drawing attention to himself. Mercenaries Tarrant and Soolin favored gray. Their nemesis, Servalan, had it both ways - wearing mostly whites for most of Seasons 1 and 2, switching to black for Seasons 3 and 4. Travis, however, was always in black. | |

The video game sequel, Tron 2.0, takes this farther with an extended color-coding scheme. Good guys are blue, neutrals are yellow, and villains are red (for security programs), sickly green (for virally infected programs), or purple (for the rival company's programs), depending on their affiliation. | |

Inverted in Ladyhawke, where Captain Navarre dresses like a stereotypical villain, wearing all black with a flowing cape lined in red, and yet is a noble hero. Meanwhile, The Dragon wears primarily white and gold, and the Big Bad is a Sinister Minister wearing all white. | |

The Grand Finale completely messes with this trope, having two determining fights happening in parallel: Aang/Ozai and Azula/Zuko. Both were red, or a kind of orange, versus blue. But in one fight, Blue was good, in the other, blue was evil. | |

The film is probably one of the best-known "blue heroes, red villains" works. This carries over into the newest film TRON: Legacy. In both, it's a case of Exaggerated and Justified Trope, as a Program's Tron Lines give away its alignment, function, and origin. The best example of this is when Rinzler (aka the "believed deceased" Tron) snaps out of Brainwashed and Crazy. His lines change from orange-red to bluish-silver. In the early designs for the film, however, the colors were different. It would have been yellow for those allied with the Users, and light blue (which showed up as green for some reason) for the MCP and his forces, but Executive Meddling forced the filmmakers to change it to the more standard "blue for good, red for bad" seen in the final film.note Though since the scenes with CLU at the beginning were already done by this time, the original colors can be seen during this part. | |

When he reappears in Jurassic World after having undergone a Heel–Face Turn he now wears black under his labcoat, to reflect how he's gone from being an Unwitting Instigator of Doom who created historically accurate dinosaurs for a theme park to being a willing Mad Scientist who creates hybrids to be used as Bioweapon Beasts. | |

Kill la Kill inverts the black/white relationship. The REVOCS corporation and Nazi-esque Honnouji Academy is strongly associated with the color white, whereas what little clothing the heroes wear is predominantly black and red. To further drive the point home, the Elite Four swap out their white Goku uniforms for gunmetal Nudist Beach gear upon revealing their true colors as Anti-Heroes All Along. | |

In Mitsumete Knight, the country you're fighting for as a mercenary, Dolphan Kingdom, has a blue and white crest and its soldiers' armor is light blue, while the enemy country, the Dukedom of Procchia, has a red and black crest and its soldiers' armor is jet-red. Subversion in that the enemy side has sympathetic characters and reasons to fight, while Dolphan is ruled by a Decadent Court who will discard you like an old rag by voting a law explusing all foreigners from the country, after you win the war for them. | |

The characters in Disney's Aladdin were specifically designed around this trope, on the notion that, in a desert, water is a life-giving force, sand is unavoidable, and heat kills people. Blue = good, yellow = neutral, and red = evil. Genie and Jasmine sport blue. The Sultan wears mostly yellow, with a splash of blue. Jafar and Iago sport red (though Iago had blue wingtips; perhaps a foreshadowing of his side-switching in the sequel). Aladdin and Abu sport purple, because they're in transition from being thieves (red) to heroes (blue). After Jafar gains control of the Genie, Genie often goes purple. When Jafar puts Jasmine in Go-Go Enslavement, she wears a reddish-orange outfit. Though Carpet looks mostly blue from a distance, close-ups reveal an intricate weaving of colors, including blue, yellow, purple, and red. The lamp is yellow, suggesting that the power of the lamp is itself neutral and unbiased. The guards wear yellow and black fringed with purple: they themselves are neutral but controlled by both good and evil forces. The yellow scarab, harmless in itself, becomes red as the eyes of the Cave of Wonder; similarly Jafar's staff is an innocent yellow until he activates the glowing red eyes. The disguised Jafar's cloak is a foreshadowing purple. In the sequel, Abis Mal, despite insisting how evil he is, wears mostly yellow and blue with a purple hat and belt: he's really a harmless fool who tries, and fails, to "wear" the image of evil. | |

Mega Man X is mostly blue, and plays The Hero in his series. Zero remains the same shade of red in both his Ax-Crazy and Lancer periods, but has black armor as a powerup. Axl's normal form subverts the trope, as he's black and gray without being an Anti-Hero. Lumine combines white and purple, and plays the trope very straight. As for the original series, Mega Man is blue and cyan, while Bass is black and purple. | |

The earlier Dune games (made by the same people as Command & Conquer) took this trope to a ridiculous degree by having blue Atreides (good guys) and red Harkonnens (bad guys), with the Ordos being a sickly green. Note that the books don't have the Ordosnote specifically, the canon books do not have the Ordos. Westwood used the Dune Encyclopedia as a major source, which mentions a House Ordos and erroneously has the Harkonnen emblem as a ram, which the Dune games then followed, and that the Atreides are a (natural) green (and black), with the Harkonnens blue and the Corrino being scarlet and gold. But apparently, you're not allowed to have green good guys and blue bad guys in an RTS. | |

Star Wars Legends: Jedi Search by Kevin J. Anderson features a Force-sensitivity detector that allows to analyze a person and displays a halo if she is Force-sensitive, blue for the light side and red for the dark side. But anyway, Luke Skywalker is too dumb to figure out what the colors mean. Weirdly inverted in I, Jedi, where a group of dark Jedi use blue lightsabers and the Light side Jedi seem to use any color but blue. Part of that might be an example of canon marching on: until The Phantom Menace, the idea that all Dark Jedi and Sith used exclusively red lightsabers was Word of Dante, and many fans (apparently including Stackpole) found the idea silly and arbitrary given the rainbow of colors used by light-side Jedi (and ironic considering that the Sith are treacherous and individualist, while the Jedi are so effective because of their ability to work together harmoniously). Lampshaded in Young Jedi Knights: Lightsabers. Jaina Solo, who is a hard sciences geek, decides to crank up the process of handmaking her first lightsaber by creating her own focusing crystal in a high-pressure chemical reactor. She's taken aback by the resulting red blade: unbeknownst to her, lore at the time stated that the Sith preferred this process (because synthetic crystals have a slight chance of shorting out an opposing lightsaber blade). Also played straight in that Jaina is typically depicted using a blue or purple lightsaber to avoid confusing readers, even on the cover of that same novel. |

Coherence: the main characters all grab blue glowsticks when they walk outside to investigate. When they see an alternate group of themselves, the other group all have red glowsticks, helping to portray "our" group as the good guys and the other group as creepy doppelgangers.

In Merlin, we have: Merlin. He wears blue and red, both Hero colors. In his evil form, he wears purple and kind of acts like he's on his period the whole time (ergo, evil bitch). Morgana. Her favorite colors are white (Deadpan Snarker), dark blue (Evil Aristocrats), green (as a neutral character in the first two seasons and as Sickly Green Glow in season 3), and, as a Card-Carrying Villain in Season 4, black. Arthur wears red (The Hero, and also counterpart to Merlin's mostly blue attire in a Red Oni, Blue Oni sort of way) and gold (The Ace) Gaius wears brown (Nature Hero, The Mentor, Retired Badass) Freya wears brown (Nature Hero and Closer to Earth, as she knows that Merlin's idealistic plans for them, though admirable, are doomed to fail, also maybe Beastly Villain because of her curse/alternate self). Agravaine wears black (appearing as a Badass hero to Arthur, while actually being a Card-Carrying Villain) Gwen first wears a lot of orange (a timid neutral, she stops wearing it after To Be Lawful or Good moments), brown (Closer to Earth, fitting for the competent junior blacksmith's fighting suit), yellow (maybe Kid-Appeal Character, as she's the dorky Badass Normal). Gradually, she gets nicer pinks and light purples (now the Love Interest and heroes' Token Girl and sort of The Medic sometimes). |

Eyeshield 21 isn't subtle about this in the least. In the manga, Jerk Jock Agon Kongo has normal black dread locks and wears a black, gold, and red football uniform. The anime decided to re-color him with purple dreadlocks, (which give the illusion that tentacles are coming out of his head) and a purple and blood-red uniform. Because there's obviously no way the audience would know he's bad without coloring him in purple from head to toe. | |

In Code Lyoko, the villain XANA is most often identified by the color red. Most notably, the towers activated by XANA are surrounded by a red halo (blue is neutral, green when activated by Jeremie, white by Franz Hopper). There are many other examples, like the Digital Sea turning red when XANA's creatures are about to attack. William originally wore a white, gray, green and blue costume on Lyoko, but it changes to a black and red one once he becomes The Dragon under XANA's control. Ulrich's swords normally glow blue whenever he strikes or parries, but they glow red in the hand of any warrior controlled by XANA, making such swordfights look like direct shout outs to Jedi vs. Sith duels. |

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Mad scientist Brainstorm once came up with an idea for a color-coded laser gun. It detected if the wielder was an Autobot (good) or a Decepticon (bad), and would fire red or purple lasers respectively. Nautica, however, disapproved of a weapon that promoted "long-discredited notions of moral absolutism." Brainstorm, who was infamous for inventing things just to prove he could invent them, somewhat missed the point. Of course, this lampshades the use of this trope in the cartoons (though it was GI Joe, a different Hasbro series, that actually had an instance of the same weapon changing laser colors when picked up by a member of the other side.) | |

Metallic dragons (gold, silver, copper, brass and bronze) are good and chromatic dragons (red, green, black, white and blue) are evil. Some settings also include gem dragons (amethyst, crystal, emerald, sapphire and topaz), who are neutral. The idea of color-coded dragons was probably lifted from the Dragonriders of Pern novels, particularly given that metal-colored dragons are physically larger than their non-metallic counterparts in both Pern and D&D. | |

City of Heroes/City of Villains: While the characters themselves are not subject to this trope, the intro and character design screens and all the main screen interface elements are, to the point that some players refer to City of Heroes as "Blue Side" and City of Villains as "Red Side". Additionally, Pocket D — the extradimensional night club accessible from both games — is red from the middle of the dance floor all the way to the villains' entrance, and blue from the middle to the heroes' entrance. It occasionally goes beyond that into powers. The Energy Blast powerset is blue-white for heroes and red for villains, and the same goes for lightning. Now averted as Power Customisation has finally been implemented, but the default powers are still the same. The developers have noted this, and mention that the armour and banners of the alien-fighting Vanguard group, who will work with both heroes and villains, are gray and purple to indicate their (supposed) neutral morality. And now, Going Rogue has a yellow interface, symbolizing the different moral choices presented in the game. The Loyalists' emblem is golden, and the Resistance's emblem is blue. |

Your hero from NanoBreaker is clad entirely in white and silver, and swings a blue Laser Blade. Your traitorous ex-partner Keith on the other hand wears red, and swings a magenta sword. Even your Sword Lines corresponds to your respective allegiance! | |

In Full Metal Panic!, the first season had identical colors for Lambda Driver energy fields. The Second Raid, however, introduced color coding: Codarls always had red energy fields while the Arbalest had blue. Though if the painting of Arm Slaves count, then this is the coding: ARX-7 Arbalest: white color and green eyes (The Hero), ARX-8 Laevatein: white/red color, white ponytail and green eyes (The Hero). Plan-1056 Codarl: silver color, blonde ponytail and three red eyes (Big Bad), Plan-1058 Venom: red color and single red eye (Big Bad), Plan-1055 Belial: black color (Big Bad). | |
