The gold standard of differentiating the heroes from the bad guys is making the heroes' color scheme sufficiently brighter and the villains' sufficiently darker. However, this ends up looking pretty bland. Sure, it's very intuitive, but still cliched and overused. However, the dichotomy of dark shades against solid white backdrops is striking and highly effective. Cue this trope, where villains feature mostly black, white and gray color motifs, with at the most a dash of red here and there for effect. The heroes might occasionally wear black or white when this trope is in effect, but rarely at the same time or to a degree that exceeds the villains. The heroes will instead usually favor a more vibrant color scheme with fluid colors and a rainbow mix, to further contrast the villain's shaded motif. What happens when Light Is Not Good and Dark Is Evil are combined. Contrast Primary-Color Champion, Secondary Color Nemesis and of course Bright Is Not Good. Compare and contrast Red and Black and Evil All Over and White and Red and Eerie All Over, where red is used as a pop of villainous color. Supertrope to Enemy Mime. |

Avesta of Black and White: The mysterious arch-demon and effective leader of the forces of evil Nadare has a black and white Duality Motif going on with her black and white clothing and even the sclerae of her eyes being mirrored in color. This hints to her nature as a Sensory of the ruling God Mithra whose red and blue Duality Motif makes Nadare come across as a monochrome copy of her. | |

In Darkwing Duck, the High Command of the terrorist group F.O.W.L are depicted as three black shadows with white eyes. They reappear in DuckTales (2017) in the form of Scrooge’s board of directors. They wear black-and-white business suits, although the primary member, Bradford, gets some reds added to the mix when empowered by the Sword of Swanstantine. | |

Sofia the First: Princess Ivy has hair that's black on one side and white on the other, wears a dress with a black and white pattern, and can even magically summon butterflies that drain the color from anything they touch, leaving her surroundings entirely in grayscale. Her second appearance shows she lives in exile on an island she's turned gray, and she becomes distraught when a patch of colorful flowers blooms and starts spreading to her butterflies. After her Heel–Face Turn at the end, her personal color scheme doesn't change, but she starts wearing tinted glasses to block out color so she doesn't have to remove it anymore. | |

Our Miss Brooks: Osgood Conklin prefers to dress in black three-piece suits, or at least dark colors. Although the program appeared on television and film in black and white, and didn't "appear" at all on the radio, this tendency is mentioned several times: "First Day": Mr. Conklin not only dressed in black, but drove a large black sedan that Walter Denton compares to a hearse. "Friday The Thirteenth": Mr. Conklin brags about his respectable black suit and hat to his daughter. He worries that his "midnight blue" tie might be loud. |

Batman Returns: In contrast to the garishly coloured antagonist of the previous film, this time the villains are devoid of colours: The Penguin wears grayscale Victorian clothing, and has a pale, colourless complexion as well. Max Shreck is always seen in grayscale suits as well, with an occasional red bowtie as the only splash of colour. Catwoman, though more of an Anti-Villain, is dressed in black leather with white stitches and seams. |

Laughing Jack: The titular clown is all black and white, and ultimately proves to be a lethal False Friend to James. The mother finds herself in an eerie black and white Amusement Park of Doom inhabited by disfigured children in her nightmare, which is implied to be Laughing Jack's realm. In the origin story, Laughing Jack was once a colorful clown, but years of abandonment caused his colors to fade away, and being exposed to violence made him a murderous Monster Clown. | |

Magic: The Gathering: The Eldrazi Introduced during the Zendikar block, the Eldrazi were mechanically unique at the time for actually requiring colorless mana to play in some instances. The Eldrazi made a return in the Innistrad block, introducing horrific fusions of local flora and fauna with Emrakul's essence. Cards that depicted these horrors usually required colored mana to cast, but were marked with "Devoid (this card has no color)." The Orzhov Syndicate, a criminal syndicate masquerading as a church, use a combination of black and white mana, so this color scheme comes naturally to them. |

Venom is black and white in color in contrast to Spider-Man's colorful costume and starts out as a villain, until he became more of an Anti-Hero. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The color scheme of the Sons of Malice Chaos Space Marines is black and white, representing the renegade Chaos God's paradoxical nature of evil fighting itself, as they're far more likely to destroy other Chaos forces. | |

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: Todd Ingram and Envy Adams have a black and white color scheme. The Katayanagi Twins take this a step further. One wears black, the other white. |

In Sword Art Online, Death Gun has a black cloak, white bandages on each arm, and a silver mask. This is a reference to his old identity; back when he was controlling the XaXa avatar, Shouichi Shinkawa wore a black cloak with a white skull mask. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: In the episode The Thaw, also has a circus but this one is a Dangerously Garish Environment whose governing program has mutated into a personification of fear and runs the place like a Black Bug Room, using it to torture its Rubber-Forehead Alien creatures. Unlike nearly every other character in there it's dressed up in grey with a bit of white face paint. | |

Hollow Knight: The world of Hollownest flips this trope on its head; the world is painted in shades of gray, with the influence of the Radiance being represented by an earthy orange. Downplayed since the world of Hollownest also features a blue tint in many of its areas and helpful features. | |
