10	%%* ''4Komatose'' stars Ariake Shikima and Kyushu Miyamoto. Their hair, clothing and even speech balloon borders are red and blue, respectively.
11	%%* ''Webcomic/{{Afraid of Monsters\|Ozkosar}}'': A large facility for monsters is run by two humans: Dr. Henry Hallow (Blue) and Dr. Tib Tigris (Red).
12	* ''Webcomic/AgentsOfTheRealm'':
13	** Cheerful, energetic and apparently beset with {{Attention Deficit\|OohShiny}} Filoni is Red to Camel's more pragmatic, distanced Blue.
14	** Among Agents, {{Genki Girl}}s Adele and Kendall are pretty clearly Red to Norah's introvert and Paige's aloof Blue.
15	* ''Webcomic/TheBackOBeyond'': Nate is more rash and emotional, whilst Sebastian is TheStoic.
16	* ''Webcomic/BeyondTheEnd'': Uriel and Michael. Uriel is defiant and wild, doing whatever he likes. He's known for being destructive, foul-mouthed and mannered. Michael is the one upholding all the rules, cold-hearted and unyielding. Yet the true and the closest they could be.
17	* ''Webcomic/{{Bricktown}}'': Jill is the red to Greg's blue. Greg is an [[JustForFun/OneOfUs unabashed nerd]] with a seemingly general mellow attitude, who can quickly turn into a Grade-A {{Cloudcuckoolander}} at the drop of the hat; Jill is a [[PassionateSportsGirl rabid sports fan]] with only hints of being a closet nerd, is generally more uptight and by-the-book than Greg, and has a HairTriggerTemper. To drive the point home, Greg's typical wardrobe consists of various shades of blue, while Jill's consists of shades of red.
18	* The fan-dubbed "boat moms" of ''Webcomic/{{Castoff}}'', Arianna and Marina:
19	** Arianna is Red, and RedIsViolent: a choleric, blunt, somewhat paranoid ActionGirl with NoSocialSkills, who mainly uses offensive [[MagicMissileStorm magic]] and [[SirSwearsALot swears]]. Visually speaking, she wears a red shirt, her magi gem (thus, her magic) is red, she's tall, thin and her hair is long, straight, almost sharp.
20	** Marina is Blue, and BlueIsCalm: [[TrueBlueFemininity assertive in a motherly way]], caring NiceGirl we've never seen using any magic but her [[WhiteMage natural healing ability]]. She's noticeably curvier, her eyes are blue, her hair curly and soft, and she wears a skirt and a loose blue top.
21	* ''Webcomic/TheContinentals'': A steampunk murder, mystery, sci-fi, adventure webcomic set in post Jack the Ripper England where Continental Operative Jeffrey Tiffen Smythe is the sophisticated, elegant, intellectual gentleman and his gender bending partner, the adventuress Lady Fiona Fiziwigg, is a hot tempered, foul mouthed, do and say as I damned well please malcontent and proud of it. It's a pairing of mismatched personalities that works surprisingly well as the two investigate a series of brutal "mangling" murders, uncovering a tangled web of intrigue, adventure--and murder!!! Find it [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/The_Continentals here]].
22	* ''Webcomic/DemonThesis'' has the contrast between Val and Clady. They're two of the main characters, college roommates and friends, but Val is HotBlooded, impulsive, aggressive, and develops a [[KillItWithFire slightly disturbing passion for burning things]] after being gifted with the [[ElementalPowers Elemental Power]] of fire, while Clady is a level headed DeadpanSnarker intellectual who gets [[BlowYouAway wind powers]] that can trap enemies in AntiMagic fields.
23	%%* The Wing Antivirus corporation from ''Webcomic/ElectricWonderland'' has modest (blue) Nathaniel Wing as software developer and his megalomaniac (red) wife Nina as CEO.
24	* ''Webcomic/ElfBlood'' has the [[spoiler:KO Twins]]: SKO is the Blue Oni, being an adherent of law, order, and obedience, whereas TKO is the Red Oni, being the runaway renegade with a passion for freedom. Judging from a photograph taken when they were in school, however, this dichotomy may have been inverted in the past.
25	%%* ''Webcomic/TheFarSideOfUtopia'' There are a few pairs that could be considered, but the best match is Peter's sidekicks, Mium and Naomi as they are almost ColorCodedForYourConvenience with Mium being blue, and Naomi being, well, purple, but definitely filling the red roll.
26	%%* ''Webcomic/FetchQuestSagaOfTheTwelveArtifacts'' has [[ActionGirl Saffron]] [[RebelliousPrincess Lachesis]] and her twin Nephilim. No guesses as to [[http://www.fetchquest.com/archive.php?chapterid=7&comicid=6 who's who]].
27	* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', we have the upbeat, charismatic Gil and the dour, calculating Tarvek. An interesting example in that they're both [[ScienceRelatedMemeticDisorder Sparks]], both schemers by admission, and both part of a LoveTriangle with Agatha.
28	* In ''Webcomic/TheGlassScientists'', vibrant and extroverted Hyde is, quite obviously, Red, while Jekyll, the very image of British politeness, is the Blue.
29	* ''Webcomic/{{Godslave}}'':
30	** Alma and her flatmate Edith are Red and Blue respectively - one's ever-excited GenkiGirl who takes photos of her desks and speaks with [[SayItWithHearts hearts]], while the other is TheStoic to such a great extent that one may start to wonder whether she's not an EmotionlessGirl.
31	** Two Blacksmiths watching Edith. The girl is calm DeadpanSnarker, while her coworker is a fine example of LeeroyJenkins.
32	%%* Krushcor and Beryun from ''Webcomic/TheGodsOfArrKelaan'', they are respectively [[BloodKnight the God of Battles]] and [[TheStrategist the Goddess of War.]]
33	* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
34	** Tedd and Susan, sort of. In this case, it's more of a personality difference as Tedd is generally upbeat and unobservant while Susan is a DeadpanSnarker. Other characters lean towards both sides, but generally hover in the middle.
35	** Another notable example is [[DefrostingIceQueen Susan]] and [[LovableAlphaBitch Diane]]. A strange case, because they haven't actually met, but [[spoiler: they're actually separated-at-birth identical twins who share a few traits but are generally DifferentAsNightAndDay]]. For bonus points, Susan wears a lot of blue and dyed her hair dark blue, whereas Diane's wardrobe is more red and she has naturally blonde hair.
36	* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' has an interesting example, where we were introduced to a red-haired EmotionlessGirl (Annie) who befriends an impulsive gung-ho girl (Kat). Mutual CharacterDevelopment, however, has by now reversed the roles almost completely.
37	* ''Webcomic/HannaIsNotABoysName'':
38	** Hanna and Zombie are a good example: calm, stoic Zombie (Blue) and impulsive, extroverted Hanna (Red).
39	** Also works with a HotBlooded, uninhibited Casimiro and disciplined, well-mannered Finas. Even their color schemes are red and blue respectively.
40	** There's also Doc Worth's {{Jerkass}} red to Lamont's nice guy blue. Although it's been shown that if anybody can get Lamont to lose his cool, it's Worth.
41	* Muse, the rather energetic superheroine of ''Webcomic/HelloWanderingStar'' is the Red Oni to the Blue Oni of Logo, who believes in the power of meditation.
42	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
43	** [[TheStoic Dave Strider]] is the Blue Oni to [[NiceGuy John Egbert]]'s Red Oni, though their [[ColorCodedCharacters associated colors]] are kind of inverted. (Dave is Red/fire, John is Blue/air.) By the end of Act 5, though, they've pretty much switched places.
44	** Karkat Vantas (red) and Jack Noir (blue) also have traces of this during their team-up in Act V, minus color correlations[[note]]because trolls think fashion is stupid and Jack '''[[MeaningfulName Noir]]''' is big on black[[/note]]. Karkat is impulsive, loud, and [[HairTriggerTemper almost always angry]] at something, while Jack is cool, quiet, and moves with a chilling economy of effort.
45	** Karkat, again, plays Red Oni to John's Blue once they start interacting. Their colour correlations match up as well, and Karkat's first conversation (from his perspective) with John is a textbook example - Karkat is a raging, capslocking, furious, hateful mess, while John responds with a cheerily oblivious "hi karkat!".
46	** Vriska Serket, a [[LargeHam hammy]] SociopathicHero, plays Red Oni to Terezi Pyrope, a ManipulativeBastard master {{troll}}.
47	** Also, cheerful, perky Jade (Red) to grim, dour Rose (Blue). Rose ends up playing Blue Oni to a lot of people, really; she's just about as blue as it is humanly possible to be.
48	** Equius Zahhak, a [[TheStoic stoic]] traditionalist, plays Blue Oni to the Red Oni antics of Nepeta Leijon, a [[GenkiGirl genki]] roleplayer.
49	** [[TheDragon Doc Scratch]] is a calm, [[SmugSuper smug]], [[ManOfWealthAndTaste gentlemanly]] {{chessmaster}}, while his boss, [[GreaterScopeVillain Lord English]], is a brutal, [[TheJuggernaut incredibly destructive]] demon that very much [[ObviouslyEvil looks the part]]. WordOfGod says this was intentional.
50	** Sollux Captor, due to his [[MoodSwinger bipolar mood swings]], plays this trope with himself. Later he mellows out and starts playing the blue to Karkat's red.
51	* ''Webcomic/ImTheGrimReaper'': Scarlet is predictably the Red Oni to Chase's Blue Oni. Scarlet makes more decisions based off emotion than Chase does and is by far the more dangerous of the two. Chase is more reserved, logical, and introverted, although [[spoiler:the two switch places once when Chase loses his temper interrogating Ana and reaches for his gun.]]
52	* ''Webcomic/{{Juathuur}}'': Dejoru is dark-haired, calm, and compassionate, with the talent to become a healer. Ratheel is loud, fun-loving, has red hair, and fights by making stuff explode. Partly subverted as [[spoiler: Dejoru is capable of releasing an enormous amount of raw energy. Ratheel, on the other hand, is completely useless in each and every fight we see.]]
53	* ''Webcomic/JupiterMen'':
54	** Despite being on the same team, Quintin and Nathan are frequently depicted as polar opposites. Quintin is creative, [[ChronicHeroSyndrome altruistic to a fault]], [[TheIdealist open-minded]] (to the point of being called SuperGullible) and impulsive. By contrast, Nathan is a narrow-minded ByTheBookCop, [[TheCynic openly skeptical of others' actions and intentions]], mature, and Thetoic.
55	** Once Arrio joins the Jupiter-Men, he quickly has this dynamic with Nathan. Whereas Arrio is emotional and laidback, Nathan is stoic and professional. Arrio is hot-headed in stressful situations but kind and understanding to his friends. Nathan tends to keep a cool head but is so devoted to his role as a Star Guardian that he tends to disregard the personal circumstances of others. Their personal lives are also opposites: Arrio is a FormerTeenRebel whose family lives modestly enough that he works part-time jobs and tries to cut his own sister's hair to save money. Nathan is a LonelyRichKid who has spent his life studying and training to be a Star Guardian and is set to inherit a billion-dollar tech company.
56	* ''Webcomic/TheLittleTrashmaid'': Ricky and Spencer, respectively, and it’s reflected in the colours they wear. Ricky tends to have a quicker temper, particularly towards Tidy’s cluelessness of human life, while Spencer remains calm and keeps Ricky in check.
57	%%* ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}'' has Largo and Piro, Red Oni and Blue Oni respectively. Erika is also the Red Oni to Kimiko's Blue Oni, though they occasionally switch places.
58	%%* ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}''. Ash and Emily. They even have the correct colored hair.
59	* In ''Webcomic/NextTownOver'', John Henry Hunter is a [[PlayingWithFire pyrokinetic]] outlaw with a suave demeanor and a zest for life, while Vane Black is a stoic, melancholic woman who eschews all pleasure and relations in her quest to kill Hunter.
60	* In the [[http://s7.zetaboards.com/Nuzlocke_Forum/topic/8615850/1 Burning Bridges]] Pokemon Fire Red [[Webcomic/NuzlockeComics Nuzlocke]], Moira's the calmer foil to Donahue the Squirtle, which is fitting, since the two of them used to be [[BuddyCopShow partners in the police force]]. [[http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/364/6/0/burning_bridges_nuzlocke_page_3_by_wanlingnic-d4kotqb.png See for yourself.]] Ironically, Donahue's body is largely blue and Moira is a redhead.
61	* The Bobcats in ''Webcomic/TheOatmeal'' comics are identical in personality as grown cats... [[KidsAreCruel as kittens, however,]] Beige Bob was a physically violent bully (Red), while Grey Bob was a soft-spoken ManipulativeBastard (Blue).
62	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
63	** Xykon and Redcloak. The former is an FauxAffablyEvil [[EvilSorcerer Sorcerer]] who revels in his own ChaoticEvil nature, whereas the latter is a WellIntentionedExtremist who wants to bring prosperity to his race and whose alliance to Xykon is more a strategical move than anything else.
64	** Redcloak's true red oni was [[spoiler:[[PostHumousCharacter his brother Right-Eye]], however. ''StartOfDarkness'', in which Right-Eye is still alive, repeatedly lampshades it.]]
65	** Redcloak finds a new oni counterpart in his [[NumberTwo Number Two]], [[AffablyEvil Jirix]].
66	** [[LovableRogue Haley]] and [[ActualPacifist Celia]] also count.
67	** Varsuvius could be seen as the blue oni to Elan's red oni.
68	** The Order could be seen as three Red Onis (LovableRogue Haley, {{Keet}} Elan, and BloodKnight Belkar) and three Blue Onis (TheSpock Vaarsuvius, TheStoic Durkon, and StraightMan leader Roy).
69	** The Lawyers: Phil's red to Mr. Jones' blue. There is something of an inverted lampshade hung on this; Phil wears a blue tie and Mr. Jones wears a red tie.
70	%%** [[KnightTemplar Miko]] also plays the red to both [[GeniusBruiser Roy]] and [[TheWisePrince Hinjo]]'s blue.
71	%%** Girard Draketooth's red to Soon Kim's blue. Heck, Girard's a ''redhead'', and Soon comes from ''Azure City''.
72	%%* ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'': Ozy blue (well, grey furred) and Millie red. Helpful that both are foxes.
73	* In ''Webcomic/{{Plume}}'', Vesper and Corrick are Red and Blue respectively, with the former a buddying BloodKnight girl wanting an ''adventure!'', and the latter a SeenItAll ServileSnarker. The latter even has a blue coat on all the time.
74	* Gunhild and Sigrun are sisters from Webcomic/{{Realmwalker}}. Gunhild is an introverted, sarcastic bookworm who likes death metal dark clothes, and Sigrun is a bubbly extrovert who likes bubble tea, cute hairstyles,anything pink and fluffy And battleaxes.
75	* Arguably, Sabrina and Zig Zag from ''Webcomic/SabrinaOnline'', the former being a somewhat reserved computer/''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' nut and the latter an outgoing porn star legend.
76	* Attley and Fletch, the main characters of ''Webcomic/TheSanityCircus'', respectively form an oni duo. Attley is far more relaxed and active, while Fletch is direct, distant and rushes into things far less readily.
77	* In ''Webcomic/TheSilverEye'' Enel is the red oni to Apen Shephard's blue oni, with Enel being the more laid-back and emotionally driven one, and Apen being the more serious and emotionally repressive one.
78	* ''Webcomic/{{Sire}}'' has SplitPersonality shy Moe Anna and HairTriggerTemper PsychopathicManchild Susan. It makes sense as they're descendants of the original JekyllAndHyde.
79	* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' has Oasis and Kusari, two gymnastic assassins of mysterious origin with superhuman powers. Oasis is basically insane as a result of MindControl gone bad, which involved manipulating her emotional states. She is left impulsive and compulsive about the emotional reactions she was ordered to have before her controller was killed and is often incapable of rational thought. [[spoiler: It's also dramatically revealed late on that she's pyrokinetic, adding to her fiery repertoire.]] Kusari obeys orders unfailingly, possibly also mind-controlled, but is still capable of rational thought and always remains cool. The two look about identical under their respective outfits considering that Kusari is always masked, but Oasis's most noticeable feature is her fiery red hair, whereas Kusari is always shown in the same bluish-purple outfit. Before their origins were revealed, there was [[EpilepticTrees speculation]] that the contrast between the two hid symbolism hinting at their unknown origins. [[spoiler: The real explanation for their different temperaments is pretty simple in that both are {{Artificial Human}}s in some sense, and Kusari's creators, trying to imitate Oasis without knowing how she was created, didn't manage to give her a proper emotional repertoire.]]
80	* ''Webcomic/SoilThatBindsUs''' protagonists are collected Petunia and easily-agitated Dandelion. Used in-universe, as it's shown that only Petunia can calm down Dandelion from his supernatural outbursts.
81	* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'' has two pairs. One consists of brash, extroverted fighter Sigrun and quiet, stoic medic Mikkel. The other consists of arrogant PrettyBoy and professional PyroManiac Emil and quiet, strangely cat-like scout[=/=]mage Lalli.
82	* In ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'', Ruby Larose is (despite her name) basically a lone blue oni in a universe of reds, leading to at least two rough-and-ready, low-key instances of this trope:
83	** She and Dillon are the most obvious case, especially early on in the comic's run. Dillon, the red oni, is a flamboyant CampGay man, and is certainly an extrovert with a lust for life; Ruby is a virginal borderline SourPrude, and is certainly concerned with control and observance of authority, and is also more intellectual, proud, traditional, and definitely introverted, and is a mystery at least to her sister Amber, although she is only intermittently respected. They end up learning quite a bit from each other.
84	** The pattern recurs when Ruby recruits Zii to help her set up a commercial {{Yaoi}} fan club, as Ruby has apparently unconsciously recognized that the complementary pairing makes a good business team; red oni Zii has the life experience to judge what will work and useful social connections; blue oni Ruby has the focus and organization to carry through on ideas.
85	* ''Webcomic/{{Sunbird}}'': [[OppositesAttract Salva and Andraz]]. They often follow the colour schemes in pinup art, though rarely in the comic itself.
86	* Nina is Red Oni to Deirdre's Blue Oni in ''Webcomic/{{Threading}}''.
87	* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'':
88	** Quant, the FieryRedhead with [[PsychopathicManchild anger management issues]] and [[SmallNameBigEgo an ego]] [[StarScraper the size of the Tower]]. He is too proud to ever openly admit a mistake of his and thus comes up with pretexts when it comes to doing the things he secretly wants to. Like staying with Lero-Ro, his longtime fellow Ranker who once climbed the Tower with him. He is reserved, calm, quiet and patient, unless you start bugging him to much. Unlike the rather BookDumb Quant he spends a lot of time thinking, especially when he notices that something is going wrong on the Second Floor, which he can't ignore due to his righteous nature (Quant is more of the self-righteous kind). He is also rather sophisticated and a passionate collector of gramophones.
89	** [[TheLancer Khun]] [[MagnificentBastard Aguero]] [[TheSmartGuy Agnes]] and [[BigGuy Rak]] [[TheHeart Wraith]][[BloodKnight raiser]], Bam's closest friends in the Tower. The former is a scheming, cheating chessmaster with a lot of brains and some trust issues, the latter a giant [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile bipedal alligator]] who just wants to fight, plain and simple, which describes his world view and how he stomps through life, though, unlike Khun, he never lies (though he is a bit of a firendship-type {{Tsundere}} for Bam). Khun's color scheme is blue, Rak's is red.
90	%%* In ''Webcomic/TwoGuysAndGuy'', Guy (and occasionally Wayne as well) is the red to Frank's blue.
91	%%* Kaustos and Two, Heiwa and Nandin, and others from ''Webcomic/UniversalCompass''. Almost every character has a foil because they are based off of emotions.
92	* ''Webcomic/WeakHero'':
93	** Excluding Teddy, the main group can be split neatly between those who are red and those who are blue: on one side you have the boisterous Ben, trigger-happy Alex, and loud-mouthed Rowan; on the other you have the quiet Gerard, stoic Gray, and timid Eugene. This dynamic is most clear between Rowan and Eugene, who knew each other in middle school and thus spend a lot of time together.
94	** The Mok-ha Duo are a pair of powerful fighters who contrast each other in every way possible. Dongha is an excitable lunatic who picks fights for fun, while Seongmok is serious, barely speaks at all, and only fights those that he thinks are worthy.
95	* Many examples in ''Webcomic/TheWordWeary'', the most obvious being Grace and her room mate, Gary. This is especially evident after she dyes her hair red while Gary's is bright blue. Grace is angry, cynical and open about it, Gary seems calmer and tries to find the humor in bad situations, noticeably after Gary and his boyfriend break up. Other examples include John and Sam vs. Jason and Yorick, and Elly vs. Harry.
96	* In ''Webcomic/YokokasQuest'', [[SiblingYinYang Yang and Yin]] respectively. Yang is lively, restless, happy to interact with his customers, and has a red horn and eyes. Yin is lazy, calm, likes to plan things out, and has blue horns and eyes.
