History Main / RedGreenContrast

** The various ComicBook/{{Robin}} costumes over the years have been predominantly red and green. Special notice goes to [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Tim Drake]]'s costume which did away with the completely yellow cape instead opting for a black cape with yellow lining and adding actual pants, in green, making his costume almost entirely made up of red and green rather than the traffic light coloration of the previous Robins.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', the PlayerCharacter, the Herald of Andraste/Inquisitor is associated with color green (which seems to be the main color of the game), given that their unique power grants them the ability to close the rifts that plagued Thedas. It also enables them to walk into the Fade physically, an EldritchLocation that has green motifs as well. Their enemy is The Elder One, who uses the dangerous powers of red lyrium back at the second game to raise his army in order to dominate the world.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'''s [[RatMen Freya]] [[BladeOnAStick Crescent]] wears a vibrant red outfit while her love interest Sir Fratley wears a dull green one.

* WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvbpdBfRgnY History Summarized: Classical India]]'', Blue discusses the arrival of Islam to the Indian sub-continent. To demonstrate the significant theological differences between Islam and Hinduism, bullet-point lists for both are briefly displayed on scree; Islam in green and Hinduism in red.

* In the [[TransformationFiction transformation-based short story]] ''Lightning Sentai Blitzenger'', the two male members of the team contrast each other: Rai Akasaka, aka Crimson Lightning, is a tall, confident IdealHero, whereas Kimura Sanjou, aka Jade Lightning, is a young, volatile JerkWithAHeartOfGold. As their [[ColorCharacter Blitzenger names indicate]], they wear red and green respectively.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'': The main hero is a large, green-skinned ogre while the main villain is a [[TheNapoleon short]] human dressed in [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black.]]

* {{Green|tropes}} is placed as a more serene and natural color, secondary colors meant to calm rather than excite. Heroes and heroic forces associated with green are often based around [[GreenThumb plant-life]], [[WindIsGreen the wind]], [[GreenMeansNatural the forces of nature]], and [[YellowEarthGreenEarth the Earth]]. With this, green is also the color of Santa's elves or the grumpiness of TheGrinch. When depicted as a force of evil, green can be used as the most prominent color for the SecondaryColorNemesis (as one of the three secondary colors), making them GreenAndMean with the SicklyGreenGlow of sickness, nausea and toxins. Variant shades like mint, seafoam, lime, teal, turquoise, olive, and forest green as stand-ins for green can also work for contrast. Green, usually in pastel or cool shades, is also a more feminine color, and usually plays the BlueOni in a RedOniBlueOni relationship. If applied to a male character, he would signify a more casual and down-to earth character.

** Another one related to Tommy in ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder''. In the episode "Fighting Spirit", Tommy ends up in a coma and has a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind with his past Ranger forms. He fights the Red Zeo Ranger in a desert first and fights the Green Mighty Morphin Ranger in a forest with fallen pillars last. Also, while the Red Zeo Ranger is depicted as being a respectful opponentwho is encouraging to Tommy and wants to test his skills, the Green Morphin Ranger is outright antagonistic towards Tommy, trying to get him to surrender and threatening to kill him [[spoiler: though all this turns out to be a secret test of character for Tommy]].

** ''Franchise/TheFlash'': As all the speedsters, Bart Allen uses red as part of their costumes (being Impulse, [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Kid Flash]] or even The Flash himself for a while). In contrast, his nemesis is [[Characters/TheFlashEvilSpeedsters Thaddeus Thawne]], known as Inertia and Kid Zoom, the Reverse-Flash version of Bart Allen, who has [[GreenEyedMonster green eyes]] and his costume as Inertia uses green as the main color.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', the red/green colour pallete is [[ColorMotif associated]] with the cherub species. Good and evil adult cherubs have green and red blood, eyes, tongues and cheek swirls respectively. This is reflected in the two main cherubs that drive the plot of the story -- Calliope is kind, friendly and types in green while Caliborn is rude, malicious and types in red. Intended as [[{{Foil}} foils]] to each other due to being [[spoiler:split personalities in the same body]], they share an antagonistic sibling relationship which is exacerbated when [[spoiler:Caliborn kills Calliope to prematurely take over the body and goes on to become the comic’s BigBad, Lord English]].

* Two Marvel Creator/{{Netflix}} shows revolved around heroes who dealt with [[{{Ninja}} TheHand]]. One was [[Series/Daredevil2015 Daredevil]] who wore a red superhero costume and the other was [[Series/IronFist2017 Iron Fist]] who wore green hoodies or jackets. In an inversion of the personalities associated with this trope, Matt was the more mature of the two.

** 10 year old protagonist Timmy wears a pink shirt and cap, while his mean babysitter Vicky is a {{Fiery|Redhead}} {{Redhead in|Green}} in a {{green|AndMean}} shirt.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': A variation with Cosmo and Wanda. Cosmo is an idiot prone to granting destructive wishes and has green hair, and Wanda is his smarter yet temperamental wife and has pink hair.
