* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': [[Characters/TheOwlHouseEdaClawthorne Eda Clawthorne]] wears a red dress; her eyes, nails, and single fang are all gold colored; and she has pale, white skin.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'': [=Lightning McQueen=], TheHero, has a vivid red paint job with a golden [[SymbolMotifClothing lightning bolt motif]] on his sides. This contrasts with his rival Chick Hicks, who is mainly green. It also partially applies to his other, more polite rival Strip "The King" Weathers, who is mainly blue.

* Ash Ketchum of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' typically wears a red cap and a blue-and-white shirt/jacket. Depending on the season, he may also wear blue pants and/or red sneakers. Additionally, the bright yellow Pikachu was chosen over Clefairy to be the show's main Pokemon for this very reason.

* In Creator/{{Michelangelo}}'s ''Doni Tondo'', the Virgin Mary is at the forefront in a light red and a bright blue that symbolize her special place in creation as the Mother of {{God}}.

* ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} himself is not this, usually wearing orange and green. His original sidekick, Garth qualified when he was Aqualad, wearing a red top and blue shorts.

* ''Webcomic/{{Huckleberry]]'' inverts this with Huckleberry, the heroic protagonist, who wears a purple and orange costume with green hair and boots.

* ''Fanfic/SOE2AmazingAmazon'': Rei's uniform as Wonder Girl is the classic ComicBook/WonderWoman outfit: A red and blue LeotardOfPower, blue on bottom, red on top, and golden accents such as the WW logo on her chest, her belt, tiara and the Lasso. The fact that it resembles [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead the flag of the United States]] (which looks a bit odd on Rei considering she's a ''Japanese'' superheroine) is lampshaded as the result of Hepaestus having designed it during the height of UsefulNotes/TheSpaceRace, when he was impressed with America's advancements in aerospace technology.

** Although he's pretty much of a brat in the beginning of the Movie, Emperor Kuzco is clad in red and gold, with bright blue earrings. When he is turned into a llama, he has black fur instead. [[SecondaryColorNemesis In contrast]], Yzma, the BigBad of the Movie, is clad in purple and even has [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation pale lilac skin]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'': The Powhatan tribe members wears yellow-beige clothing with some red or blue details. Most of the settlers, especially John Smith, are dressed in blue. And among them are the purple-clad Governor Ratcliffe, [[{{Pun}} already showing his true colors...]]

* Darkseid wears blue armor with a gold omega symbol on the chest, but [[InvertedTrope he's a villain]].

* ''Anime/RoninWarriors'': Ryo's Wildfire armor is primarily red, but has some blue elements plus the yellow crest. The other warriors' armor are typically one analogous color(such as Hardrock being orange and brown).

** This was originally an EnforcedTrope -- creator Creator/YoshiyukiTomino wanted the RX-78-2 to be in more reasonable military colors like white and aircraft gray, but was overruled by the producers, who felt that primary colors would [[MerchandiseDriven sell more toys]]. This is possibly [[DevelopmentGag referenced]] in ''00'' -- both the 0 Gundam and Exia started off in Tomino's white and gray color scheme, but were painted in the traditional Gundam tri-color before being officially deployed. Interestingly though, Amuro's [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Nu Gundam]] are in the military colors and even some of the Premium-Bandai model kits are re-releases of previous Mobile Suit kits, but in the military colors, labeled "Real Type" colors. The[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Unicorn Gundam]] is an aversion as it is an all-white suit, as is the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamNarrative Narrative]] and the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedStargazer Stargazer]], also with black color scheme for the Strike Noir.

** Superman wears his traditional red, blue and yellow costume, although [[MovieSuperheroesWearBlack they are depicted in darker shades.]]
** The same goes for Wonder Woman. [[Film/WonderWoman2017 In her origin movie]], the colours are noticeably brighter to reflect how fresh and idealistic she is compared to the present.
** The Flash has his traditional red and yellow suit, and his body releases blue lightning as he runs.

** ''Anime/MetalFightBeyblade'' has Ginga Hagane, who has red hair and dresses evenly in blue, yellow, black, and white.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'': Kaldur, the new version of Aqualad designed specifically as TheLeader of this version of DC's teen heroes (as opposed to the traditional Robin), wears blue pants and a red shirt with a yellow belt buckle. [[DarkSkinnedBlonde He also has blond hair.]] In the comics his pants are darker, almost black, but he has more yellow decals on his shirt.

** For the [[SecondaryColorNemesis opposite trope]], when ComicBook/LexLuthor battles Superman personally he uses green-and-purple PoweredArmor. Other villainous colors worn include ComicBook/{{Brainiac}} (purple and green), ComicBook/MrMxyzptlk (purple), Parasite (purple), Metallo (silver), and ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} (navy blue).

** For the [[SecondaryColorNemesis opposite trope]], when ComicBook/LexLuthor battles Superman personally he uses green-and-purple PoweredArmor. Other villainous colors worn include ComicBook/{{Brainiac}} (purple and green), ComicBook/MisterMxyzptlk (purple), Parasite (purple), Metallo (silver), and ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} (navy blue).

** For the [[SecondaryColorNemesis opposite trope]], when ComicBook/LexLuthor battles Superman personally he uses green-and-purple PoweredArmor. Other villainous colors worn include Brainiac (purple and green), Mr. Mxyzptlk (purple), Parasite (purple), Metallo (silver), and Darkseid (navy blue).

* Inverted with the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk, who is usually green with purple pants, highlighting how the character is more monstrous than the usual hero. Also inverted with ComicBook/RedHulk, where the primary-colored character is the villain, while the secondary-colored character (the original Hulk) is the hero.

* Almost every single main character's Franchise/{{Gundam}} has a blue body, red boots, and yellow accents (such as its head crest). This serves not only to identify a hero in the broad sense by invoking the trope, but also to make each new hero the 'new version' of the iconic Amuro and his RX-78-2 Gundam (part of this page's image above) in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''. You find this color arrangement with the [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Gundam Mk-II and Zeta Gundam]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ ZZ Gundam]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 Gundam F91]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory GP-01 "Zephyranthes"]], [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]], [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Shining Gundam]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wing Gundam]], [[Anime/SDGundamForce Captain Gundam]] and his human companion Shute, the [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Gundam X]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam Gundam Ground Type]], Anime/TurnAGundam, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Strike Gundam]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Impulse Gundam]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam Exia]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE AGE-1]], [[Anime/GundamReconguistaInG G-Self]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans Gundam Barbatos]]. Most of their upgrades and titular Gundams follow suit.

* Franchise/SpiderMan: Red and blue body suit. The legs have more blue, the torso has more red. Being Marvel's most popular hero has also done a lot to promote this trope. In contrast, many of his RoguesGallery (including the Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Electro, Mysterio, the Lizard, the Vulture, the Jackal, etc.) favor green and/or purple. ComicBook/{{Venom}} is mostly [[DeliberatelyMonochrome Deliberately Monochrome]] (though his [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate]] version wears purple), and Carnage is RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver.
* ComicBook/{{Stargirl}}: wears a blue costume with red and white trim (representing America) but carries a yellow staff and is almost always depicted with flowing blonde hair (representing heroism.)
* Franchise/{{Superman}}: Blue tights, red cape, trunks and boots, yellow belt and accents on his logo. The modern TropeCodifier if not the TropeMaker. As the most iconic, quintessential super hero, his 75+ years of publication have pushed the prominence of this trope.

** ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'': Supergirl has changed costumes constantly since her creation, but most times she keeps the blue-and-red color scheme. [[http://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/scifi/supergirl-costume-history-sexy-costume-designs.html Most of her costumes can be seen here]] (although her ''Comicbook/{{New 52}}'', ''[[Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton Red Lantern]]'' and ''Comicbook/SupergirlRebirth'' costumes are missing from that List). In the original ''Comicbook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton'' story, Kara's costume was made by her mother in imitation of the blue-and-red Superman's outfit so he would believe Kara is Kryptonian.

** Ambiguous or evil versions of the Super-family generally go for RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver. Examples are New 52 Superboy and ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' Supergirl, who are edgier heroes. Notable exceptions who keep the primary color scheme are Ultraman and Cyborg Superman.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Wonderful}}'', Emma's -- a. k. a. Wonder Star -- [[PoweredArmor Sentinel Suit]] is red and white.

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'': Sheriff Woody, Andy's favorite toy and leader of the gang, wears blue jeans, and a yellow with red plaid shirt. Also wears a red bandanna. In contrast TheRival and later TheLancer Buzz Lightyear wears green and purple. Whether he is heroic [[VillainProtagonist or not]] is highly arguable in the first movie, but the later films play it completely straight.

* American police, as standard police uniforms are blue with yellow badges, and standard police cars are black and white with flashing white, red, and blue sirens on top. Police of course are figures that serve to uphold justice.
