* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'': White Fatalis is one of the most powerful Elder Dragons in the series, and is both beautiful and eerie in equal measure. Its ghostly white scales and fur combined with its blood red eyes make for an imposing apperance, and when it fights it forgoes its Black and Crimson cousins flames in favor of scarlet lightning that further drives home its status as a living calamity in dragon form.

** The ''Frontier''-exclusive Elder Dragon Disufiroa is a [[NonIndicativeName black dragon]], which are a classification of extremely dangerous Elder Dragons that fellow white-and-red dragon White Fatalis belongs to. Its jagged white scales and red underbelly and jaw give it the appearance of a creature made of raw flesh and bone, and it can control fire and ice to deadly extremes. Thanks to its elemental powers being so unstable, its mere presence can wipe out entire ecosystems, and it's the only living thing in the World's End, the wasteland it rules over.

Compare RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver, for a common interpretation of another particular color combination. For a healthy dose of {{Irony}}, contrast CheeryPink; white and red being one of, if not ''the'' harshest color combination you can have means it's quite funny that combining them gets you the color most associated with softness.

White is a sterile color generally agreed upon by many to be a "pure" one, and when introduced with a touch of vibrant red, it creates a very jarring contrast. While this combination of colors can be elegant, in the contexts of certain works, a primarily white-and-red coloration can also seem uncomfortably ghastly at best, or at worst outright ''visceral'' -- white is the color of bone and bloodless skin, and red, the color of blood and bared flesh. Put them together and you get a design that can be strongly reminiscent of a [[UncannyValley pale corpse bloodily cut open]]; an unholy matrimony between LightIsNotGood and RedIsViolent, likely along with BloodyHorror. White with red accents make up most examples of this trope, but in some cases the inverse can also count.

* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': Abby is a non-evil example: she's usually has a white or red lab coat on (although she invariably [[PerkyGoth wears some black as well]]), and is kind of creepy, but still an extremely kind person.

** While Infinite himself does not count for this trope (he has ''some'' white fur, but his color scheme is predominantly [[BlackAndRedAndEvilAllOver black, red, and gray]]), the second boss battle against him qualifies. It takes place in a pristine white steel area, which contrasts with his red energy attacks.

** The iconic [[MechaMooks Egg Pawns]] are redesigned to be much more menacing this time around, featuring simple white bodies with glowing red eyes or visors. While their previous incarnations were more akin to AdorableEvilMinions, here they are portrayed as unfeeling, militaristic automatons with no comedic traits whatsoever.
