** Since the fourth game, Sogetsu Kazama, the AloofBigBrother of the HotBlooded Kazuki Kazama, has had blue as his main color (with a [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]] and light blue outfit) and managing [[MakingASplash water powers]], contrasting his [[PlayingWithFire literal "hot" brother]].

* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Undine Wells is strongly associated with the color blue, as seen throughout her costume, [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair hair]], and [[PaintingTheMedium speech bubbles]]. She is also the most reasonable and least assertive member of Team Alchemical, and often ends up in the role of a [[TheHeart mediator]] between her friends. Fittingly enough, her power as a MagicalGirl is to [[MakingASplash control water]].

Contrast RedIsViolent. This trope is a big reason RedOniBlueOni is named so; a calm/stoic blue character might be paired with an energetic warm-colored character: for example, the HotBlooded [[TheHero hero]] and the cool-headed [[TheLancer lancer]].

* Ao Manaka in ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'' is designed upon a blue ColorMotif--her name means "blue" to begin with--and true to this trope, she is [[TheQuietOne quiet]], demure, [[OnlySaneMan level-headed]], and intelligent, in contrast with her BestFriend [[GenkiGirl Mira]].

* In ''Series/TheXFiles'' episode [[Recap/TheXFilesS03E17Pusher Pusher]]'', Pusher was arrested and put in a police car. He says that the uniform is a nice shade of blue, a type of sky blue, eventually calling it cerulean blue - then saying that it's a gentle breeze. This was used to hypnotize the driver of the police car and prevent him from seeing an incoming truck of the same color.

* Oskar von Reuenthal is associated with the color blue in the OVA version of [[''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes'']]. He is less likely to jump into a scrap than his best friend, Wolfgang Mittermeyer (who is associated with Red). Reuenthal is, however, more likely to kill you once you get him mad.

* DoubleSubverted and then enforced in ''Webcomic/VillainToKill''. Cassian is even ''more'' irritable following his death due to his grudge against Lampas for killing him and tarnishing his name on false charges. His confusion and rage results him in activating Gangu's villainous powers, which are colored blue and black instead of bright red like his old "Ignition". The Moros informs Cassian that he runs the risk of becoming a bloodthirsty lunatic if he doesn't get a handle on his emotions from now on, forcing Cassian to do a better job of keeping his cool.

** Sapphire, a blue-colored Gem, provides Garnet with her calmer side, [[RedOniBlueOni as opposed to Sapphire's hot-headed fusion (and romantic) partner Ruby]]. When she gets into an argument with Ruby, Ruby has frequent angry outbursts, but Sapphire [[BlueMeansCold literally]] freezes up and isolates herself, avoiding conflict until she apologizes to Ruby.

** Blue Diamond is the most mellow of the Diamond Authority, especially compared to Yellow's authoritarian temper, Pink's immaturity, and [[spoiler:White's tendency towards mind control]]. She has a very deep and soothing voice, and while she is the only one of the Diamonds to openly mourn Pink, her crying is very subdued (though she does project her feelings to other gems around her). [[spoiler:After Era 3, her calm nature is even more present, as she uses her powers to share happiness and soothe other Gems.]]

* ''Film/TheWiz'': Ethereal Good Witch of the South, Glinda, is a soft spoken and mysterious character who wears a blue dress and veil.
