** On the other hand, this trope and [[PrimaryColorChampion its opposite]] are {{inverted}} with superhero Mermaid Man and his supervillain enemy, Man-Ray; the former's color scheme includes orange, purple, and green, as well as black[[note]]Though, DependingOnTheArtist, his belt may be yellow instead of purple.[[/note]], while the latter's costume is red and blue with a yellow belt-buckle.

** Plankton is a straigt example, being [[GreenAndMean green]] and the show's main villain, whereas his {{archenemy}}, Mr. Krabs, has red skin and blue clothes.

* Bushroot is the straightest example in ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', being mostly green with purple hair. Partially subverted as compared to the rest of Darkwing's RoguesGallery, Bushroot is more of an AntiVillain.

* ''VideoGame/StarCraft'': especially in ''II'', the [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Zerg]] display a lot of purple and green. Their queen, Sarah Kerrigan, originally had green skin with purple highlights, layer switching to mostly purple with a glow of the same color as well.

* Roger from ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' is a [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation chartreus-skinned]], orange-haired bully. Oh, and he also has a [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife purple]] [[CatsAreMean cat]].

* Roger from ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' is a [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation yellow green-skinned]], orange-haired bully. Oh, and he also has a [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife purple]] [[CatsAreMean cat]].

* Angelica Pickles from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' wears an orange sweatshirt, a purple skirt and is a manipulative bully.

* Downplayed in ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Mister Mxyzptlk shows up a purple suit and hat with a green shirt underneath. But Izuku's costume is green, white, and silver, making the contrast less noticeable.

* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' III: the Undead Scourge has a lot of (matted) purple and [[SicklyGreenGlow green]] in their color scheme. In the campaigns, their forces are mostly colored purple and green, too.

** Decepticon [[GeniusLoci city-bots]] tend toward this, in contrast to their Autobot counterparts. Trypticon is mainly dark gray, purple, and teal, and Scorponok is mostly purple and green with some orange and bits.

** Subverted in ''Anime/TransformersArmada'': Despite sharing the [[spoiler: green and purple]] color scheme, name and [[spoiler: construction vehicle]] alternate mode with [[spoiler: a Constructicon]] from the original show, [[spoiler:Scavenger]] is an [[AdaptationalHeroism autobot]], although [[TheMole he doesn't seem to be at first]].

* Angelica Pickles from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' wears orange sweatshirt, a purple skirt and is a manipulative bully.

* ''Webcomic/StarImpact'''s [[{{Jerkass}} Urc]][[StarterVillain hin]] wore pink shorts, a moss-green belt with a neon-green skull-shaped belt buckle, a black tank top with a neon-green stripe running across it, and [[TechnicolorEyes pink irises]] and a [[MulticoloredHair black-and-]][[YouGottaHaveBlueHair pink]] mohawk, contrasting against [[TheProtagonist Aster]]'s purplish-blue hair, powder-blue BigOlEyebrows, and yellow irises.

* ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'': Spyro himself is mostly purple and orange despite being the hero, but that doesn't prevent some his enemies from following the same color scheme.
** Spyro's very first enemy was the Gnasty Gnorc, a green, troll-like creature. The Gnorc soldiers themselves came in green, orange or purple, with any other color being rare.

** Tien Shinhan, who usually wears a green eastern outfit with orange highlights (in his first appearance, he also wore dark purple pants). He eventually became one of the heroes too.
** Piccolo is perhaps one of the most famous examples of this in anime. He is a green-skinned alien (formerly thought to be a demon) with a predominantly purple outfit. He became Goku's ally and one of the good guys (see a pattern yet?).

** Android 16 (from the same arc as Cell) is a subversion. Despite his green and black getup coupled with a dark orange mohawk, he is hardly a villain, being considered an antagonist only by association with Androids 17 and 18.

* ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'': Before becoming Scourge, [[EvilCounterpart Evil-Sonic]] had blue fur just like Sonic. After exposure to the Master Emerald, his fur turned green and he gained a boost in strength and stamina. He also had a super state of his own, which turns his fur [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'': Facilier is the bad guy and wears purple (though with a black-and-red hat) and he's also associated with green.
* Ralph from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' wears primarily orange with a green undershirt. While he is the hero in the movie, his role in the video game is the antagonist.
* Maleficent from ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' has pale green skin and eyes coupled with a black and purple robe. This becomes even more pronounced in her [[ScaledUp dragon]] form, which retains the green and purple through her eyes and underside respectively, while breathing green fire as well.
* Buzz Lightyear from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' is a primarily white toy with green and purple accents. While definitely not a bad guy, Woody considered him his ArchEnemy due to stealing his spot as Andy's favorite toy, although they became friends during the events of the movie.
* A straighter Pixar example is GreenAndMean Chick Hicks from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'', who will even violate NASCAR rules to get ahead.

* The Zerg of ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' have a LOT of green, purple and orange in their color scheme, in addition to brown. This is heavily in contrast to the golden yellows and blues of their nemesis, the Protoss. Played straight but then ultimately subverted with the Nerazim protoss, who utilize greens and purples in contrast to their yellow and blue Khalai brethren, as they ultimately end up as firm allies after being bitter rivals for years. Come ''VideoGame/StarcraftII'' the Zerg start to subvert the 'nemesis' aspect of this due to their gradual HeelFaceTurn, but still retain the color scheme.

** Subverted in ''Anime/TransformersArmada'': Despite sharing the [[spoiler: green and purple]] color scheme, name and [[spoiler: construction vehicle]] alternate mode with [[spoiler: a Constructicon]] from the original show, [[spoiler:Scavenger]] is an [[AdaptationalHeroism autobot]], although [[ReverseMole he doesn't seem to be at first]].

'''Creator/StanLee:''' 'Sure, Brad, they're symbolic of the fact that our high-priced fashion coordinators, after lengthy consultations with their colleagues, Armani and Hilfiger, felt those colors would be the best ensemble to delineate the grotesque gestalt of those particular naughty people. (By the way, I was referring to Melvin Armani and Irving Hilfiger, of course)"

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': [[ANaziByAnyOtherName The Huntsman]] wore a green uniform in season 1 and a purple one in season 2.
