Purple Is the New Black	comment	Much like Hollywood Darkness, purple is often used as a stand-in for black in comics and animation. This is predominantly because purple is easier to shade quickly and thus give the appearance of three-dimensionality; solid black objects in animation (and Real Life; see Vantablack) lack contours and look very flat. Black is also difficult to work with when Power Glows because black is the color that absorbs all colors of light. In regard to character design, pseudo-purple hair is popular for similar reasons. It also makes a character more recognizable from a copyright standpoint. Characters who fall under the Dark Is Not Evil trope are occasionally depicted this way too, to perhaps subconsciously suggest they aren't stereotypically evil. In older comics, blue was used because it was one of the basic pigment colors and thus inexpensive (and because Hollywood Darkness is generally blue-tinted). This has led to some mixed messages over whether (for example) Nightcrawler's fur or Spider-Man's leggings are blue, or if they're black in the same way Superman's hair is black (despite having blue highlights). Also very common in anime, where dark purple/blue hair will be intended to be black and will be listed as such in official sources. As far as reality is concerned, this trope induces a lot of Fridge Logic, since violet is the most energetic part of the visible light spectrum.note Though violet is the color that the human eye is least sensitive to. The explanation, however, is that this is actually why purple and blue are perceived as black: more energetic hues of light get to places and reflect on surfaces other hues cannot, giving deep shadows a disproportionate amount of blue-violet lighting. See Analysis page for the full Mind Screw that is the representation of black with colors that are not black, and the science of why this is Truth in Television. Compare Hair Color Dissonance, Purple Is Powerful, Evil Wears Black and Red and Black and Evil All Over (several of these can overlap with this trope). Gravity Is Purple may have some relation as well.

Purple Is the New Black / int_14afa9d	comment	Sleepless Domain: The Big Bad of the series is a mysterious girl made of shadows, whose skin is nonetheless a very deep purple. This isn't just a stylization, either, as she's actually referred to as being purple in-universe, and the form she takes on after merging with Tessa has more vibrant shades of purple and pink.

Maleficent of Sleeping Beauty has a purple trim in her robe, and a purple underbelly when she turns into a dragon, which evaporates into black and purple smoke when killed. This is one of evil sea witch Ursula's primary colors in The Little Mermaid. Though since the animators didn't skimp on the black for her lower body (the octopus-like part), her top half probably actually does have purple skin. The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Judge Claude Frollo's jurist robes have purple trimmings. The Princess and the Frog has Dr. Facilier, who is always seen in his purple suit.

Purple Is the New Black / int_2a8943c0	comment	On Miraculous Ladybug, purple is the color associated with the Butterfly Miraculous the Big Bad Hawk Moth uses, and therefore his outfit when transformed and performing villainy is predominantly dark purple with some black in it. In-universe, it's a coincidence that he got his hands on this particular one to use. On the blue side of things, both Marinette and Kagami have hair that's supposedly black but often appears in various shades of blue. Since the show is CGI, there's no need for the blue-use techniques; it's done intentionally as an homage.

Most playable Dark users - Sophia, Raigh, Niime, Canas, Knoll, and Etzel - wear a shade of purple or have purple hair. And in a literal example of purple being the new black, tomes of dark magic (which, in all of the other games, had black covers) have purple covers in Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Blake Belladonna's colour symbolism is officially black, but she's always used a colour scheme of black-and-white with purple accents. Her Aura is also purple. When the show needs to surround her with her colour symbolism, purple is used rather than black, such as the Volume 9 opening's radiant light framing her body; it's still intended to represent her association with the colour black, but it makes her stand out rather than obscuring her with too much dark shading.

Purple Is the New Black / int_68c8e9ad	comment	In the GBA (and some DS) Super Robot Wars games, many units intended to be black (most notably Mazinger Z and its relatives) were either purple or nonexistent (in the case of the Astranagant), allegedly due to the GBA not displaying black properly. However, these were alongside the M9 Gernsback and Gespenst S, which were light grey but still usable enough to be black. Especially considering the Mazingers had perfectly fine black in their cut-ins.

And sometimes really, really dark grey. There is some debate over whether or not the Joker originally wore a purple or black suit. The purple suit has become iconic in the decades since, although famed artist Alex Ross subscribes to the theory that the Joker's suit was originally intended to be black with purple highlights, so that his chalk-white face would stand out as much as possible. Accordingly, pretty much all of Ross' (colored) drawings of the Joker feature him in black instead of the widely-accepted purple.

Purple Is the New Black / int_8e077a1	comment	Inverted with the White Ranger from Power Rangers Ninja Steel. When the Rangers morph, they have color-coded backgrounds, with hers being purple. To a lesser extent, this applies to almost all female White Rangers, especially when they serve as the substitute for Pink Ranger, in which case, they inherit the pink association, in the case of White Swan, Zyuoh Tiger, Gao White, and her American counterpart. If there's already a Pink Ranger on the core team, her non-white energy color varies. Change Mermaid and the White Ninja Steel Ranger's counterpart ShiroNinger get light blue. The only exception to this is Ninja White/White Alien Ranger, who pretty much never gets any pink undertones. DekaSwan and her American counterpart Kat Ranger also don't count, as they're equally linked with both white and orange, which has led to debates on what her primary color actually is.

Purple Is the New Black / int_a5f7e04e	comment	When Lockheed built the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, they first painted it in a pastel-like camo scheme that would help it hide during daylight bombing missions. When the Air Force insisted on night bombing and a black paint scheme, Lockheed recommended a dark royal blue color as black paint would stand out against the night sky. The Air Force refused and the F-117 (as well as Northrop Grumman's B-2 bomber) has flown in black ever since. This is believed to have been the style of chromatic thinking employed much earlier in feudal Japan. Many people are familiar with the common "clad in black" ninja who used darkness as their cover, however the Ninja Museum of Igaryu proposes that most ninjas would more likely have worn navy blue during night jobs, to match the glow of moonlight. Black, as strange as it may sound, would stand out in the darkness of the night.

Purple Is the New Black / int_b8e7bb8	comment	In Super Sentai and Power Rangers, Black Rangers tend to have purple motifs in their costumes, energy weapons (particularly noticeable when they glow), and the like. Certain times, however, they subvert it by giving the Black Ranger a gray or white aura, when there's no Silver or White Ranger on the team....usually.note GoGo Sentai Boukenger had both a Black and Silver Ranger on the team, and Black primarily did get purple, but in cases such as some roll calls, Black gets the white aura, while Silver, to evoke the emergency lights of his design and theme, gets a darker red aura. Of particular note are Wolzard of Mahou Sentai Magiranger/Koragg the Knight Wolf of Power Rangers Mystic Force and Gaisoulg of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger/Void Knight of Power Rangers Dino Fury, who are Black Knights in purple armor. But averted in that the rare Violet Ranger will never be mistaken for a Black Ranger and vice-versa - Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger/Power Rangers Dino Charge and Uchu Sentai Kyuranger even had both colors in their rosters. Naturally, the Black Ranger's shade of purple is a darker shade. Two specific Black Rangers are interesting zig-zaggings of this trope: King Ranger and Abare Black. Because they are both individual add-ons to their respective teams, they get a lot of gold on them. Therefore, their energies are often, maybe more often than not, portrayed as gold in color, but oftentimes purple as well. Not to mention their respective Zords were more gold in color than they were black. This was the main reason that King Ranger's Power Ranger counterpart is called the Gold Ranger instead. Black Lion Rio, who is a Ranger-like main villain turned ally also follows the same rules as the previous two Black Rangers: black suit with a lot of gold, with his Zord following the same color scheme, and alternates between purple and gold as his energy color. Inverted with the White Ranger from Power Rangers Ninja Steel. When the Rangers morph, they have color-coded backgrounds, with hers being purple. To a lesser extent, this applies to almost all female White Rangers, especially when they serve as the substitute for Pink Ranger, in which case, they inherit the pink association, in the case of White Swan, Zyuoh Tiger, Gao White, and her American counterpart. If there's already a Pink Ranger on the core team, her non-white energy color varies. Change Mermaid and the White Ninja Steel Ranger's counterpart ShiroNinger get light blue. The only exception to this is Ninja White/White Alien Ranger, who pretty much never gets any pink undertones. DekaSwan and her American counterpart Kat Ranger also don't count, as they're equally linked with both white and orange, which has led to debates on what her primary color actually is. In Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, Sixth Ranger Zyuoh TheWorld is another zigzag. As a Black Ranger, he's represented with the usual purple energy (albeit paler compared to past examples), but also of black smoky energy usually more reserved with the darkness motifs of villains, even when he turned good. The zag to that zig is that he's also represented by two other colors, gold and silvernote which itself is sometimes represented with bluish shades in the franchise, such as this case, making him more of a multi-colored Ranger with Black as his primary color.

The Dark Magician, or Black Magician in the Japanese manga and anime, wears purple. This is due to the limitations of black and white manga (it's hard to draw a character wearing all black); in card artworks and the animes, the purple tends to be darkened considerably. When Takahashi drew the card later on, he changed it to full-on black.

Purple Is the New Black / int_f7ed2fd7	comment	This is one of evil sea witch Ursula's primary colors in The Little Mermaid. Though since the animators didn't skimp on the black for her lower body (the octopus-like part), her top half probably actually does have purple skin.

Purple Is the New Black / int_fa738078	comment	Sailor Moon: Hino Rei is noticeably native Japanese (even though all but Aino Minako supposedly are), with long black hair — highlighted purple — and a distinct epicanthic fold. This is very notorious since she is supposed to represent classical Japanese beauty which consists of pale skin and black hair. On the other hand, Chiba Mamoru's hair is often straight black, but when highlighted, tends to be highlighted blue. Luna also shows this, she is a black cat but in colored artwork and animation is bluish purple. Hotaru Tomoe's hair is also supposedly black to contrast with her white skin but it has blue highlights. Inverted with Queen Serenity. Her hair is actually a very pale shade of violet, but is treated as silver or white.

In fact, all darkness moves in the series are represented as purple flames In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Adventure Mode, Dharkon, Galeem's dark-themed counterpart, is mostly composed of black, purple, and magenta. His puppet fighters also have purple eyes with darker-colored scleras, in contrast to the red eyes associated with Galeem's. In the Final Battle map, his side of the background is mostly purple and black, while Galeem's is in a much bigger variety of light colors.
