Okay, DarkIsEvil has been added to Salem's section. It's easy to see why. However, there's a potential problem with this one:

The first is that the sign she's 'evil' isn't that she's wearing dark colours. It's that she looks like the Grimm. That makes her ObviouslyEvil, but doesn't mean the DarkIsEvil trope is in play. To my mind, the DarkIsEvil trope would be in play if it turns out that it's not Salem who looks like the Grimm but the Grimm who look like Salem.

The biggest issue is whether or not this trope is in play for the work in the first place. The heroine of the tale has a red and black colour scheme. Raven, who's neither good nor evil because she's a law unto herself, also has a red and black colour scheme. Adam and Salem, who are evil, also have a red and black colour scheme. In fact, Salem has more white in her colour scheme than any of the other three (including the heroine).

The Grimm themselves are basically black-and-white. The only red comes from their eyes, and there are other tropes for glowing, red eyes. The show doesn't depict them as evil per se so much as it depicts them as mysterious, soulless human-eating monsters whose motives and origins humanity can't figure out, and who are implied to only gain intelligence as they increase in age. The fandom certainly regards them as evil, and there's indications that the creators are fine with that perception, which enables Salem to be the ObviouslyEvil trope for looking like the Grimm.

So, is DarkIsEvil in effect in this work, and does it apply to Salem?

So, is DarkIsEvil in effect in this work, and does it apply to Salem? I suppose, wrapped up in this, is also the question of whether it applies to the Grimm, since the appearance of the two are linked.

* DarkIsEvil: Salem is a dark and dangerous humanoid being who desires to bring about humanity's end. She has the power to control the Grimm, creatures of darkness that are attracted to negativity whom she uses in her goal to destroy humanity alongside a cabal of human and Faunus followers. Appropriately enough, her appearance resembles that of a Grimm, having chalk-white skin with black markings, red eyes that glow when angered, and wearing a black dress with red markings on the back, all highlighting her villainous nature.
