Purgatory has a flame, and it has scorched the skin of this character. This usually is depicted as an even tan across the entire body (there are no tan lines). Note, this person doesn't have to be evil per se, but they will have a grim origin or power source.
Can have Unfortunate Implications, so sometimes instead of being "black" or "brown", they're colored with other spectrums of darker colors, with red being particularly common.
Do not confuse with someone who is merely sporty or blue-collar, such as someone with dark skin and red hair; that is just the effect of natural sunshine and outdoor work.
Contrast Undeathly Pallor.

Hades in Disney's Hercules has pale ashen skin (though it changes to a tan shade whenever he gets angry), but in the episode where he steals the sun, he develops a tan worthy of George Hamilton.

Dark Sakura from the Marvel vs. Capcom games is an Inverted version of this trope and how it normally goes in Street Fighter: the cause and effect is flipped around, and instead of the Satsui no Hado darkening her complexion, getting sunburnt causes her to become a Satsui no Hado master, and since her skin is already darkened, she's immune to its corrupting influence... at least until the sunburn goes away and she loses these powers.

Buso Renkin: Those becoming a Victor are able to take on a heavily tanned or bronzed form that becomes permanent once they reach Stage 2 of their transformation. Once a they reaches Stage 3, as Victor himself did towards the end of the series, their skin-tone darkens even more, becoming blackened as if burned or in permanent shadow.

Zimmy from Gunnerkrigg Court has a strange ashy grey skin color in addition to her eyes covered in black gunk and More Teeth than the Osmond Family. It's unclear whether this is supposed to be an unnatural feature in-universe, as it's not that far from a few other characters' skin tones.

Dr. Drakken from Kim Possible is blue. We're not entirely sure why; but it's related to his being evil; apparently, as Ron Stoppable turned evil one episode and also turned blue. Okay, he's not nearly as badass as the rest of these examples; but that's what evil is in the Kim Possible universe.

Jagganoth from Kill Six Billion Demons has a deep purple/blackish shade to his entire body. He is seen in at least one flashback with a much more normal skin colour, implying whatever turned him thirty foot tall also changed his skin colour.
Mottom also has a purplish cast to her skin. However, her skin turns a more natural bronze when she eats her age-regressing peaches, suggesting that it's related to her ageing into a withered crone.

The Elder Scrolls series has the Dunmer (Dark Elves), with ashen gray skin and blood red eyes. They were once the Chimer, close relatives of the Altmer (High Elves), with pale golden skin. However, the Battle of Red Mountain ended with the Dwemer disappearing and the Chimer in possession of the Heart of Lorkhan. The Daedric patron of the Chimer, Azura, commanded the Chimer to never attempt to use the Heart. Though the exact details of what happened next are recounted differently by all of the surviving parties, her champion (and the leader of the Chimer), Lord Nerevar, was killed (likely murdered) and his top advisors (as well as a former advisor turned enemy) tapped into the Heart to become Physical Gods, collectively known as the Tribunal. According to legend, Azura then punished the Tribunal and the Chimer people by cursing them into their current appearance, turning them into the modern Dunmer.

Archer from Fate/stay night. Especially noticeable in that his past self, Shirou, did not have this tan; it's a side effect of pushing his powers past their limits so much.
Relatedly, Chloe von Einzbern from Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, a magical clone of the titular Illya. Something about being spawned from Archer's Class Card caused Chloe to inherit most of Archer's color scheme.
Also in Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, Miyu's brother has a patchy and incomplete version of this covering part of the face and arms.
And now in Fate/Grand Order we have Assassin EMIYA. No, not Shirou, but Kiritsugu.

Sailor Pluto from Sailor Moon; while she's the soldier of time, not necessarily a bad power in itself, she is a Well-Intentioned Extremist in one arc, she gives off a mysterious and wise aura and is suspected to be thousands of years old, and her powers have a lot of forbidden aspects that could tear the timeline apart. Thank goodness for Stable Time Loops. It's also notable that a common theory based upon one line in the manga suggests that she's a demigoddess.
