* '''Off-white''' -- [[AlwaysMale A jackass]].

* '''[[RedIsViolent Blood Red]]''' -- AxCrazy, OmnicidalManiac

* '''[[SecondaryColorNemesis Purple and Green]]''' - '''[[BigBad The Villain]]'''
* '''[[EvilWearsBlack Black]]''' -- CardCarryingVillain, in recent times anyway.
* '''Grey''' -- GrayscaleOfEvil, soul-less, ego-extinct, card-carrying sociopathic monsters. Also popular for {{Mooks}}. [[note]] in Creator/HarryHarrison's work, the Grey Men are a race of cold emotionless mind-manipulators, all humanity and feeling having drained out of them. [[/note]]
* '''Pastels''' -- The preferred color palette of preppy {{Alpha Bitch}}es, {{Smug Snake}}s and [[BitchInSheepsClothing sugary sweet folks with dark secrets]].
