11	->'''Fan:''' Why do so many of Spidey's villains (Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Mysterio, Electro, Vulture, Sandman, Lizard, etc.) wear green, yellow, or purple? Are these colors symbolic in any way?\
12	'''Creator/StanLee:''' Sure, Brad, they're symbolic of the fact that our high-priced fashion coordinators, after lengthy consultations with their colleagues, Armani and Hilfiger, felt those colors would be the best ensemble to delineate the grotesque gestalt of those particular naughty people. (By the way, I was referring to Melvin Armani and Irving Hilfiger, of course.)
13	-->-- '''Stan's Soapbox''', published in ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' Volume 3, Issue #21, September 1999

15	[[BrightIsNotGood Sometimes even the bad guys want to wear bright colors]]. All those [[EvilWearsBlack deep blacks]] and [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver bloody reds]] can get monotonous after awhile. Unfortunately, the heroes have already monopolized the {{primary color\|Champion}}s so what's our poor villain to do?
16
17	Why, crack out the secondary colors, of course.
18
19	Green, or green and purple together are especially popular among the SuperVillain set. This is likely due to them being bright, eye-catching, and an easy contrast with the reds and blues favoured by so many early superheroes. Green and purple can have negative cultural associations (see GreenIsGross, SicklyGreenGlow, and TechnicolorToxin), and in contrast to red or blue they inevitably come across as less desirable. Orange tends to be used less and is frequently an accent color as it can be a bit harder to distinguish from red or yellow depending on the lighting. [[EvilWearsBlack Black]] can still come into play as an accent, just as white sometimes would for the heroes.

21	A sub-trope of GoodColorsEvilColors. See also RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver, EvilWearsBlack and GrayscaleOfEvil.

23	Compare PurpleIsPowerful, PurpleIsTheNewBlack, and GreenAndMean. Contrast its inversion, PrimaryColorChampion.

25	----
26	!!Examples:
27	[[foldercontrol]]
28
29	[[folder:Advertising]]
30	* ''Advertising/SupermanVsNickOTeen'': Nick O'Teen mostly wears orange and light colors (to mimic the colors of a cigarette), which contrasts Superman as a PrimaryColorChampion.
31	[[/folder]]
32
33	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
34	* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
35	** Yamcha was actually the very first character to employ this, wearing a predominantly green and orange ensemble back when he was an antagonist in the series' beginning, contrasting with Goku's then purely blue outfit. He joined Goku's side shortly after.
36	** Tenshinhan, who usually wears a green eastern outfit with orange highlights (in his first appearance, he also wore dark purple pants). He eventually became one of the heroes too.
37	** Piccolo is perhaps one of the most famous examples of this in anime. He is a green-skinned alien with a predominantly purple outfit. He became Goku's ally and one of the good guys (see a pattern yet?).
38	** No matter what form he takes, Frieza always has purple highlights on his body.
39	** Cell is mostly green with orange highlights around his face and body in his initial and second forms. Purple is added to the mix in his "[[BishonenLine Perfect Cell]]" form, although the orange is gone by then.
40	** Android No. 16 (from the same arc as Cell) is a subversion. Despite his green and black getup coupled with a dark orange mohawk, he is hardly a villain, being considered an antagonist only by association with Androids No. 17 and No. 18.
41	** Zamasu has green skin and wears purple clothing under his black coat. His alternate self [[spoiler:Goku Black is more subtle, leaning towards RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver, but he wears a green Potara earring and his attacks and ki often have a purple tinge.]]
42	** Broly's design in ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'' is dressed in predominantly black, purple, and green, contrasting the red, white, and gold of his ''Z'' counterpart. Ironically, this version of Broly is much more sympathetic compared to his ''Z'' counterpart.
43	* ''Anime/MazingerZ'': [[BigBad Dr. Hell]] wears a light-green, tight outfit and a long violet cloak. His Dragon Baron Ashura wears a violet-and-purple robe.
44	* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' has Overhaul (Kai Chisaki), a yakuza leader who sports a dark green jacket lined with purple fur. He also wears an orange plague doctor mask.
45	* ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'': Orochimaru's usual outfit is mostly of tan color, but it also contains a dark green undershirt and collar (although they're sometimes depicted as black) as well as a large purple rope belt tied around his waist.
46	* Played with in ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', where the protagonist Shinji Ikari pilots the purple-and-green Evangelion Unit-01 to showcase his presentation as an AntiHero and mental issues.
47	* ''Franchise/OnePiece'':
48	** Sir Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Straw Hat Pirates' first major enemy in the Grand Line. His outfit is predominantly orange, with a green, furry coat which he wears draped on his shoulders.
49	** Donquixote Doflamingo, another Warlord of the Sea, wears purple-tinted sunglasses and orange pants. It's all overshadowed by his large [[RealMenWearPink pink feather coat]] though.
50	** Yet another Warlord of the Sea, Gecko Moria, wears mostly black, but he also wears yellow-orange pants and has purplish hair, lipstick and accessories like a cross necklace. His [[LivingShadow Doppleman]] also has [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack purple hues]].
51	** Inverted with the original 3 Admirals of the series, who actually represent red (Akainu, means "red dog"), yellow (Kizaru, means "yellow monkey") and blue (Aokiji, means "blue pheasant") and they all wear appropriate attires.
52	** However, when you forget about the ProtagonistCenteredMorality of the story and remember that the Marines are supposed to be the "good guys" of the setting, this becomes FridgeBrilliance. ''Of course'' the supposed BigGood Admirals would be given primary colors to represent. However, this is played straight in the case of the two ''new'' admirals who oppose the Straw Hats after the timeskip (as Fujitora's color is purple while Ryokugyu's color is green).
53	** [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/d/df/Kaido_Anime_Concept_Art.png/revision/latest?cb=20180217163626 Kaido]] employs all secondary colors known to man, and is built up as one of the biggest threats of the ''One Piece'' world.
54	* ''Anime/PrettyCure'': The heroines are very commonly a pink-blue-yellow trio, representing the primary colours, while the villains are often this or RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver.
55	** ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'': The early villains, such as Goyan, Karehan, and Moerumba, are primarily green, purple, and orange in colour. However, later villains toy with this trope; twins Michiru and Kaoru wear orange school uniforms to match with Saki and Mai and act innocent, [[spoiler:and they end up turning to the good side]], while villains like Ms. Shitataare and Kintoleski opt for primary colours like blue and yellow.
56	** ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'': Namakelder, a Phantom Empire general who represents laziness, is clad in a grene trenchcoat.
57	** ''Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure'': Yamoh, TheDragon to Dokurokushe and leader of the Dark Magician Trio, wears an orange coat.
58	** ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode'': BigBad Noir wears black with purple accents, and his wolf demon sidekick is mainly purple.
59	** ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'': Ruru Amour, who intrudes in the Nono household to spy on lead Cure Hana, has purple hair and blank purple eyes. [[spoiler:Subverted when she later turns to the good side and becomes Cure Amour.]]
60	** ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure'': [[spoiler:BigBad Darknest is eventually revealed to be a long-since-banished Star Princess in a purple dress.]]
61	** ''Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure'': Shindoine, a devilish general to King Byogen, has purple hair.
62	** ''Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure'': Numeri and Elda, two minions of the Witch of Delays and regular antagonists to the Cures, have purple and green hair, respectively.
63	** ''Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure'': Kabaton and Battamonda, two early antagonists who want to seize the baby princess from the Cures, have purple skin (Kabaton) and green hair (Battamonda).
64	* ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'':
65	** Opium dealer Takeda Kanryu wears a green suit with a purple tie.
66	** The Ten Swords leader, Makoto Shishio, wears a purple kimono like a toga.
67	** Played with by Enishi Yukishiro, who has an orange-and-''blue'' color scheme, since he thinks of himself as the wronged party in his feud with Kenshin.
68	[[/folder]]
69
70	[[folder:Asian Animation]]
71	* In the ''Animation/PleasantGoatFunClass'' series, Wolffy's purple shirt and orange beret contrast with Weslie's [[PrimaryColorChampion yellow, red, and blue outfit]] (Wolffy is a villain in the original ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'', but [[AdaptationalNiceGuy has his villainous qualities heavily downplayed]] in ''Pleasant Goat Fun Class''; he ''is'' still ruder in comparison to the goats, though).
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder:Comic Books]]
75	* ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'': Kang the Conqueror, intertemporal warlord and longtime enemy of the team, wears a green-and-purple armoured suit that allowed him to fight the original team (composed of the red-and-yellow Iron Man, red-and-blue Giant Man, red-and-blue Thor, and red-white-and-blue Captain America) to a draw. His past self wore a green-and-gold costume while posing as Pharaoh Rama-Tut. His future self, Immortus, also tends to favor green and purple. Scarlet Centurion (yet another of his temporal counterparts) also has purple in his outfit.
76	* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'':
77	** In perhaps the most iconic comic book example, the Joker sports bright green hair and a flashy purple suit, generally with either a green or orange shirt, vest, or tie.
78	** The Riddler sometimes wears a suit and hat, and sometimes a bodystocking, but it's always green. His outfits also tend to have purple highlights.
79	** Poison Ivy combines a green leotard and green-tinted skin with [[RedheadInGreen bright orange hair]].
80	** The Mad Hatter wears a green outfit and hat, often with orange highlights.
81	** Ra's al Ghul's costumes are subject to change, but his green and gold one is his most well-known.
82	** Catwoman usually wears black today, but early in the comics wore both green and purple.
83	** DependingOnTheArtist, the scarred side of Two-Face's visage is either green or purple; one side of his custom-made suit usually reflects this coloration.
84	** Killer Moth's classic design seems to invoke this trope; green helmet, orange wings, purple shirt, and green and orange tights.
85	** In his earliest appearances, the Penguin wore purple pants and an orange waistcoat in addition to his black-and-white suit. Even though the outfits have become less colourful throughout the years, purple and orange occasionally pops up in his design.
86	** The Scarecrow is dressed in orange-brown rags most of the time, and his trademark [[SupernaturalFearInducer fear toxin]] is usually coloured green.
87	* In his iconic red-white-and-blue costume, ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' is a magnet for villains like these:
88	** Nazi mastermind Red Skull was generally depicted as wearing a green jumper in the older comics.
89	** French mercenary Batroc the Leaper favours purple and orange.
90	** Both Barons Heinrich and Helmut Zemo have worn purple costumes and masks.
91	** Viper (who has also gone up against the yellow-and-blue Wolverine) wears a green spandex catsuit, and sometimes dyes her hair green as well.
92	** Nazi cyborg Arnim Zola utilizes a mechanical purple body that he covers with an orange robe.
93	* ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'' introduced Zebadiah Killgrave, alias the mind-controlling Purple Man.
94	** DD's sometime nemesis Wilson Fisk, AKA Kingpin often combines his white jacket with purple pants and an orange waistcoat.
95	* ''ComicBook/DoctorStrange'' villains Dormammu (purple and red) and Nightmare (green), among others.
96	* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'':
97	** The Four's worst enemy, Doctor Doom, wears a long green cloak, hood, and surcoat over his armour, distinguishing him from the Four in their bright blue bodysuits.
98	** The Skrulls ''as a species'' - they have green skin, a distinct predilection for purple, and frequently try to conquer Earth (and other planets).
99	** Mole Man wears all green. His main monster Giganto is all green.
100	** Mad Thinker also wears all green.
101	** Psycho Man wears a green-and-white costume, sometimes with a golden mask.
102	** The embodiment of the destruction of the Universe called Abraxas looks like a green guy wearing green.
103	** [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]] reappeared in UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age\|OfComicBooks}} as an antagonist to the Fantastic Four. The only thing he wore were his green swimming trunks.
104	** The original Frightful Four, a team of villains modeled after the Fantastic Four and designed to oppose it, originally wore matching purple-and-blue or pink-and-purple or purple-and-purple (depending on the colorist) uniforms. Outside the team, its members wore the following: The Wizard wore pink-blue-and-purple, Paste-Pot Pete/Trapster wore purple-and-blue or purple-and-gold, Medusa (yes, she was a villain back then) wore purple, and Sandman (who was a mostly FF villain at the time) wore green-and-brown or all green.
105	** The main color of Galactus' costume is purple (or pink, depending on who you ask). His original colors were green-red-and-brown.
106	** Diablo wears green-and-purple. He animated and commanded a synthetic lifeform called Dragon Man who is sometimes depicted as gray with purple pants, and sometimes purple with brown pants.
107	** Molecule Man also wears green-and-purple.
108	** The Puppet Master is often depicted with green or purple costume elements.
109	** The Brute, an evil alternate Reed Richards, is purple and wears green pants.
110	** Annihilus is green-and-purple.
111	** The Impossible Man is also green-and-purple, but he's less of a villain and more of a nuisance.
112	* ''ComicBook/TheFlash'': Both the Sam Scudder and Evan [=McCulloh=] Mirror Masters favoured green and orange outfits, in comparison to the Flash's red and yellow.
113	* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'':
114	** The Hulk is an interesting case. He definitely isn't evil, and is usually depicted as a hero, but he is nevertheless extremely violent and destructive. However, his main enemy, the Leader, is a straight example. He is also green, and wears an orange uniform, indicating their shared gamma-radiation origins but wildly different goals and personalities.
115	** Red Hulk, another Hulk villain, inverts this trope along with PrimaryColorChampion. In this case Red Hulk (the primary-colored character) is the villain and the original Hulk (the secondary-colored character) is the hero.
116	* ''ComicBook/IronMan'':
117	** Iron Man wears yellow and red, so when his archenemy, The Mandarin, was first introduced he was put in a green costume with a purple mask and cape. This outfit was eventually abandoned, but The Mandarin still prefers green whenever he dons his traditional Chinese dress.
118	** Obadiah Stane's Iron Monger armor was an ugly grey, but outside of it, the man himself enjoyed lounging around in an orange leisure suit.
119	** The Melter, who could reduce all forms of metal to slag, has worn both purple and green, and orange and green at various points in his career.
120	** All iterations of the Titanium Man armour worn by former Soviet agent Boris "The Merciless" Bullski have been a dark green, typically with lighter green highlights. The duplicate Titanium Man armour donned by the Gremlin when he tried to take Bullski's place was also green.
121	* ''ComicBook/MartianManhunter'': While J'onn himself is a Desert Dweller, or Green Martian, the few clothes he wears have always been a bold blue and red. In contrast, his Pre-Crisis nemesis, Commander Blanx, combined the orange uniform of the White Martian Pole Dwellers with a dark green cape, helmet, and boots. The Manhunter's human foe, Mister V, went even farther in the bad fashion department, boasting a purple jacket and slacks.
122	* ''ComicBook/RedRobin'':
123	** The "Daughter of Archeron" is always seen in purple or nothing. Usually a deep-hooded cloak.
124	** Sac of the Council of Spiders wears a green hooded outfit with yellow trim.
125	* Invoked and mocked in ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' when the kids complain that their supervillain parents had terrible taste, and that their old lairs had nothing but purple and green furniture.
126	* ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}''
127	** Captain Nazi's uniform is mostly green, with admittedly yellow highlights for contrast with Captain Marvel's own uniform, which is mostly red with yellow highlights, and that of Captain Marvel Jr., which is blue with yellow highlights.
128	** Mister Mind, telepathic Venusian worm and enemy to the whole red-and-blue clad Marvel family, is himself colored green.
129	* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'': Before becoming Scourge, [[EvilCounterpart Evil-Sonic]] had blue fur just like Sonic. After exposure to the Master Emerald, his fur turned green and he gained a boost in strength and stamina. He also had a super state of his own, which turns his fur [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]].
130	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':
131	** All the ComicBook/GreenGoblin's costumes have featured a green face, arms, and legs, with a purple cap, torso, boots, and gloves. The ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' version also qualifies, being a hulking green monster wrapped in a purple cloak and hood.
132	** ComicBook/{{Mysterio}} wears a green bodysuit and a flowing purple cape, the latter of which billows behind him to add flair to his movements.
133	** The Lizard is himself green and often, not unlike the Hulk, sports purple pants.
134	** The costumes of the Scorpion, the Vulture, and the Jackal are all solid green, as is the Sandman's shirt.
135	** The Hobgoblin's costume sometimes features blue legs, and sometimes has a yellow face, but is always predominantly orange, while his glider and (DependingOnTheArtist) weapons' bag are purple. The Ultimate Hobgoblin took it further and simply ''was'' orange.
136	** The Prowler wore a green bodystocking and a purple mask and cape, although he went on to become a hero.
137	** Kraven the Hunter's furs are usually, though not always, orange.
138	** The Kingpin usually wears a white suit jacket, but in Silver Age art it was often with purple pants and an orange waistcoat.
139	** Lampshaded in ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan2018'' #37, when Peter and MJ are watching ''Janet van Dyne's Supervillain Makeover'', and an unseen villain is protesting that he's always felt more comfortable in secondary colors.
140	* ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}:
141	** Kara's first enemy MadScientist Lesla-Lar wore a lime-green suit. In her second appearance she wore a violet costume and orange cloak, gloves and boots.
142	** Sorceress and swordswoman Nightflame wears a tight green outfit in ''ComicBook/DemonSpawn''.
143	** Nazi reality-warper Blackstarr wears purple robes.
144	** WickedToymaker and Creepy child Dollmaker wears a green shirt, purple bow tie and belt and violet overalls.
145	** [[EvilTwin Belinda Zee]] -a. k. a. Superior Girl- wore a violet outfit.
146	** In ''ComicBook/DayOfTheDollmaker'', the titular villain wears a green shirt, purple bow tie and belt and violet overalls.
147	* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
148	** The Man of Steel's archnemesis, Lex Luthor, famously donned a purple and green warsuit in the 1980s and has continued to use it ever since. In ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman'', Luthor dons a purple shirt and pants, and a green trench coat in place of the warsuit.
149	** Brainiac has green skin, and usually wears a purple bodysuit. In the 80s, he replaced his original body with a purely robotic-looking one that did away with his traditional color scheme, but post-''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', he reappeared in his classic colors. His great-grandson, [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes Brainiac 5]] subverts the trope, featuring the same green skin and purple bodysuit, but being an unabashed, if arrogant, good guy.
150	** Tyrannical intergalactic despot Mongul I was himself a sickly yellow, but always wore a deep purple costume, most likely as an indicator of his [[PurpleIsPowerful royal status]]. His children Mongul II and Mongal also favour this look.
151	** The chemicals that gave Parasite the power to feed on others also turned his skin purple. His son and daughter, who inherited his powers, were respectively fluorescent green and a brighter shade of purple.
152	** Mister Mxyptlk's look is subject to change, but he usually sports a purple suit and bowler hat, often with orange highlights.
153	** Both the Kryptonite Man and the Kryptonite Kid have turned green under the influence of Green Kryptonite radiation, and have sometimes worn a purple costume as well.
154	** Metallo's body pre-Crisis was orange and green. Post-Crisis, he was redesigned to be silver, making him look like Film/TheTerminator, but kept the green chunk of Kryptonite and usually had sickly green highlights. Some redesigns since then have added back the orange and green, most notably ''Secret Origin.''
155	* While ''ComicBook/{{Thanos}}'' wears blue and gold, his skin is purple.
156	* ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'' founding member Abner Jenkins, back when he was the Beetle, wore green and purple armor.
157	* ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'': Victor "Sabretooth" Creed has worn a few costumes over the decades, but one of his classic outfits is mostly orange, while Wolverine's classic costume is mostly yellow and blue. Though by the time of Sabretooth's first published clash with Wolverine (he'd been introduced as an ''ComicBook/IronFist'' villain), Logan had been wearing his brown and orange 80s costume for several years, resulting in the two having similar colors.
158	* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'':
159	** Circe's appearance has varied a lot over the years, but she's often drawn wearing green and / or purple (or [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 wearing green and having purple hair]].)
160	** Cybernetic menace Doctor Cylvia Cyber wore a purple suit and a green cape with a high collar.
161	** Dr. Poison I wore green from head to toe, and lavender outfit beneath her disguise.
162	** Genocide's uniform and mask are green-and-black.
163	** [[GiantWoman Giganta]]'s costume is some times colored orange.
164	** [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 The Mask]]'s jumpsuit is green.
165	** ''ComicBook/WonderWomanAndTheStarRiders'': Purrsia wears a purple dress, cape, boots and gloves.
166	** ComicBook/{{Artemis}}' regular uniform colors (post-''Artemis: Requiem'' and until the ''ComicBook/FlashpointDCComics'' reboot) are a a combination of light and dark greens (or white and green) and her hair is red. She started her character arc as TheRival and AntiHeroSubstitute to Diana, before becoming one of her most stalwart allies.
167	* ''ComicBook/XMen'': Back when the original team wore matching blue-and-yellow uniforms, their main opponents were Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Its color palette contained a bit of red, but the rest of the colors were secondary: Magneto wore red-and-purple, Toad wore orange-and-grey, Mastermind wore a brown trenchcoat, Quicksilver wore green-and-green, and Scarlet Witch wore red-and-pink. Notably, following their HeelFaceTurn, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch didn't change their costumes at all during their first stint with ComicBook/TheAvengers, and Scarlet Witch has kept her color scheme largely intact.
168	* ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'' inverts and plays this straight with the titular [[FiveManBand Five Girl Band]] having [[http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/1700000/w-i-t-c-h-witch-1750968-1024-768.jpg purple and green as their colors]] in their OlderAlterEgo forms while some of their enemies favor green ([[ReptilesAreAbhorrent Cedric]]) and purple ([[FallenHero Nerissa]]).
169	[[/folder]]
170
171	[[folder:Fan Works]]
172	* In ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy'', the Prowler is clad in green and purple and has butted heads with numerous Heroes, even managing to evade the clutches of [[WorldsStrongestMan All Might]]. She also goes after ComicBook/SpiderMan, who is clad in blue and red. Inverted with Izuku, as his green and white costume starkly contrasts the black bodysuit and flaming blue head of Mysterio's robot avatar.
173	* Downplayed in ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Mister Mxyzptlk shows up in a purple suit and hat with a green shirt underneath. But Izuku's costume is green, white, and silver, making the contrast less noticeable.
174	[[/folder]]
175
176	[[folder:Film -- Animation]]
177	* ''WesternAnimation/Cars1'' has the GreenAndMean Chick Hicks, who will even violate NASCAR rules to get ahead.
178	* ''WesternAnimation/HomeOnTheRange'': Alameda Slim, the [[MindControlMusic yodelling]], [[TheRustler cattle-raiding]] main antagonist, wears a bright orange sequin-covered outfit. He also invokes the trope’s [[PrimaryColorChampion inversion]] with his alter ego Yancy O’Del, an affable blue-clad gentleman who buys up all the farms that Slim has driven to bankruptcy.
179	* Zigzagged in ''WesternAnimation/Home2015'': Most Boov are purple, so it's no surprise that antagonist Smek is purple, but so is main protagonist Oh. The Gorg are represented partly with green, but heroine Tip has green and orange sweaters in some of her outfits.
180	* Zigzagged in ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackofNotreDameDisney'': While [[BigBad Frollo]] wears black robes with purple highlights, Quasimodo wears a green tunic, while Esmeralda wears a purple dress with a teal corset and has green eyes.
181	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'': Facilier is the bad guy and wears purple (though with a black-and-red hat) and he's also associated with green.
182	* Maleficent from ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' has pale green skin and eyes coupled with a black and purple robe. This becomes even more pronounced in her [[ScaledUp dragon]] form, which retains the green and purple through her eyes and underside respectively, while breathing green fire as well.
183	* As a stark contrast to [[PrimaryColorChampion Snow White]], [[GodSaveUsFromtheQueen the Evil Queen]] from ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteandtheSevenDwarfs'' wears a dark purple dress and has [[GreenEyedMonster green eyes.]]
184	* Miles from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'' dresses in heroic red and black, as befitting Spider-Man. [[spoiler: His evil alternate counterpart, as seen at the end, dresses in black and dark purple as the Prowler]]
185	* Buzz Lightyear from ''Franchise/ToyStory'' is a primarily white toy with green and purple accents. While definitely not a bad guy, Woody considered him his ArchEnemy due to stealing his spot as Andy's favorite toy, although they became friends during the events of the movie.
186	* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Ming wears green as the antagonist to Mei who wears red.
187	* Ralph from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' wears primarily orange with a green undershirt. While he is the hero in the movie, his role in the video game is the antagonist.
188	[[/folder]]
189
190	[[folder:Film -- Live Action]]
191	* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}''
192	** In ''Film/Batman1989'', the Jack Nicholson Joker features the classic combination of green hair, purple suit, and bright orange shirt. For an added bonus, he and his goons deface the Gotham museum of art by painting everything purple and green.
193	** ''Film/BatmanForever'' has the Riddler in green with orange hair, while Two-Face has purple scarring on one side of his face, and a half-purple suit and tie.
194	** ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' has the Joker sporting his traditional green hair and purple coat, along with a green WaistcoatOfStyle.
195	* In ''Film/{{Unbreakable}}'', Elijah talks about the use of secondary colors to characterize villains in comic books. Within the film, the first villain David faces on his path to becoming a superhero is a murderous janitor who wears bright orange coveralls, while his diabolical arch-enemy wears [[spoiler:purple, because it's Elijah himself]]. David breaks from [[PrimaryColorChampion the traditional hero scheme]], though, since he has green as his signature color.
196	* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse''
197	** Throughout the Infinity Saga, Thanos has the same purple skin as his comic counterpart. On the other hand, he wears blue and gold armor, symbolizing that he still thinks of himself as the good guy despite all his atrocities.
198	** [[Film/{{Thor}} Loki]] wears a green costume for many of his appearances. He switches to blue when he cements his HeelFaceTurn in ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', while the BigBad Hela wears a green-and-black suit.
199	** The Mandarin is depicted in ''Film/IronMan3'' with a dark green robe. [[spoiler: It's actually an invoked case, since he's actually an actor portraying the terrorist leader. Aldrich Killian and the other Extremis users often have their skin turn orange when they tap into the virus]].
200	** In ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'', Kaecilius is TheHeavy and wears light orange robes. His master [[spoiler:Dormammmu]] has a purple ColorMotif. Finally, [[spoiler:Karl Mordo undergoes a FaceHeelTurn and appropriately wears mostly green clothing.]]
201	** Played with in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''. Quentin "Mysterio" Beck wears a green costume and purple cape like in the comics, but is presented as a good guy. [[spoiler: It turns out that he was EvilAllAlong, his "superhero costume" is a fake, and his actual suit leans into GrayscaleOfEvil]].
202	** In ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', Norman Osborn starts off with a suit of green flight armor, and later adds a purple cloak to it. While Norman himself is generally friendly and civil, his "Green Goblin" persona is the most dangerous villain of the story.
203	** Kang the Conqueror in ''Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania'' wears green and purple armour.
204	[[/folder]]
205
206	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
207	* In the live action TV ''Series/Batman1966'', almost all of the villains wore secondary colors rather than primaries. Third season villian "Shame" was an exception, with a tan buckskin coat and pants, and usually his shirt in some form of red and a blue neckerchief.
208	** The Joker wore a Magenta/Purple suit with a Green shirt and had Greenish hair.
209	** The Riddler wore either a Green suit with a black shirt or a Green jumpsuit with Purple gloves, sash and mask.
210	** The Penguin wore a Purple top hat and bow tie with his otherwise black and white tuxedo outfit
211	** Egghead wore a white suit with an Orange or Orange-y yellow shirt (the exact shirt color varied a lot)
212	** King Tut often wore an Orange cloak with a white robe. He also had a Green feathered cloak.
213	** Louie The Lilac wore a Lavender (Purple) suit, shirt and hat. The hat-brim binding and hatband and his tie were darker Purple.
214	* ''Series/TheMysticKnightsOfTirNaNog'': Rohan, Mystic Knight of Fire, dressed in [[PrimaryColorChampion Red]] and [[GoldColoredSuperiority Gold]]. His EvilCounterpart, the Ice Lord of Temra, was accordingly dressed in [[PurpleIsPowerful Purple]] and [[EvilWearsBlack Black]] ([[SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset and bone]]).
215	* ''Series/WonderWoman1975'': Marion Mariposa wears purple and is the closest thing to a ArchEnemy in the series despite his animosity and encounters being with Diana Prince rather than Wonder Woman as he's the only villain to face her more than once and he and Di both feel ItsPersonal by their second meeting.
216	* ''Franchise/KamenRider'': [[{{Tritagonist}} Tertiary Riders]] usually have shades of green, purple or even yellow/orange in their Rider forms, and often start off as villainous or antagonistic to the group. Notable examples are [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Ryugen]], [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Chase]], [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Necrom]], [[Series/KamenRiderExAid Snipe, Genm]], [[Series/KamenRiderBuild Grease and Rogue]]. The only unique exception in this case is [[Series/KamenRiderZiO Woz]], whose first user is an AntiHero, and whose second user is the TokenEvilTeammate the heroes.[[note]]Originally this would have been played straight, with Woz turning out to be EvilAllAlong and becoming the FinalBoss, but there was a change in plans.[[/note]]
217	* ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'': [[spoiler:Initially, the Avatar versions of Roxy and Blaze were aversions of this trope as their Ranger forms were simply dark red and yellow. After they returned with more powerful robot forms, their suits became orange and purple respectively.]]
218	[[/folder]]
219
220	[[folder:Toys]]
221	* ''Toys/LegoAlienConquest'': The evil alien invaders are [[LittleGreenMen green-skinned]] and decked in purple uniforms, with their vehicles also sporting green and purple.
222	* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
223	** The Decepticon symbol itself is purple, contrasting the red Autobot one. If someone has a lot of purple in their color scheme (''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''! Megatron, Shockwave in almost anything), they're ''probably'' a bad guy.
224	** Villainous combiner team the Constructicons have a uniform "green with purple highlights" color scheme.
225	** Decepticon [[GeniusLoci city-bots]] tend toward this, in contrast to their Autobot counterparts. Trypticon is mainly dark gray, purple, and teal, and Scorponok is mostly purple and green with some orange bits.
226	** Lugnut in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' - most of his body is purple, but his face and hands are green.
227	** Subverted in ''Anime/TransformersArmada'': Despite sharing the [[spoiler: green and purple]] color scheme, name and [[spoiler: construction vehicle]] alternate mode with [[spoiler: a Constructicon]] from the original show, [[spoiler:Scavenger]] is an [[AdaptationalHeroism Autobot]], although [[TheMole he doesn't seem to be at first]].
228	** As is to be expected, in the MirrorUniverse of ''ComicBook/TransformersShatteredGlass'', the villainous Autobots have these colors, while the heroic Decepticons get bright primary colors, whites and light greys. Optimus Prime in particular has a mostly purple paintjob with green highlights.
229	[[/folder]]
230
231	[[folder:Video Games]]
232	* In ''VideoGame/{{Eschatos}}'', the invading alien army called "Purple Erosion" has purple as their primary color, as their name implies. They have terraformed the moon and turned it into their base before the game begins, resulting in it being covered in purple as well.
233	* In the ''VideoGame/RocketKnightAdventures'' series, Sparkster [[BlueIsHeroic wears a suit of light blue armor]], while his EvilCounterpart, Axel Gear, [[PurpleIsPowerful wears a suit of dark purple armor]] (except in ''Rocket Knight (2010)'', where he wears a suit of red armor instead).
234	* The title knight of ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' starts the game in blue armor, and the power-up armors remain in primary colors or grays. The enchantress is [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation green]] and wears a purple dress.
235	* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
236	** Bowser's very first sprite is orange and green. While he sometimes has red or yellow accents in later installments, he generally keeps his orange and green themes in contrast to Mario's blue and red.
237	*** For that matter, the usual Koopa Troopa {{Mooks}} have green shells and yellow-orange skin, just like Bowser.
238	** Inverted with Luigi, whose color scheme (originally green and purple, but now green and darker blue) distinguished him as the classic Player Two.
239	** Zig-zagged with Wario, Mario's EvilCounterpart, who uses the primary color yellow, but also the secondary color purple and green shoes. Exaggerated by Waluigi, ''Luigi's'' EvilCounterpart, who dresses in purple and black, with orange shoes.
240	* Pretty much every main villain in the ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' series has been this to various degrees:
241	** [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Cackletta]] is the most notable offender. A green-skinned WickedWitch dressed in purple robes whose OneWingedAngel form is a huge purple spirit with crazy, orange eyes.
242	** The Shroobs from ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime'' are a race of purple Mushroom-shaped aliens, including their leaders, the Shroob Princesses (who both wear green earrings to drive the point home).
243	** Fawful, Cackletta's [[TheDragon Dragon]] from the first game who becomes the main villain of ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory''. Just like her, he is green-skinned, and also obtains a purple cape once he absorbs the power of the game's SealedEvilInACan.
244	** Antasma from ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'' is a large, purple [[BatOutOfHell bat]] monstrosity.
245	* Played with in the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series, where the hero Link wears green clothes but several villains use a combination of secondary colors.
246	** The Skull Kid in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' wears orange and lime green clothes with the mostly purple titular mask.
247	** TheHeavy of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'', Veran, wears a purple costume with a streak of orange in her hair. Her fairy form is entirely green, and her insect forms are dark purple.
248	** Vaati from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap'' wears almost nothing but purple. When he takes control of Hyrule Castle, he turns it purple and complements it with green rugs and decorations. Link himself (clad in green, as usual) averts this.
249	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks'' gives Chancellor Cole orange hair and a green uniform (which was almost certainly copied from the tunic of the previous Link).
250	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'' features Yuga, who in spite of [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver wearing a black bodysuit and having red hair]] has a long purple cloak. [[spoiler: He turns out to be TheDragon to Princess Hilda, a counterpart of Zelda with purple hair and a purple-and-white dress. Her design, however, does have traces of red, blue, and gold, showing that she's not so bad at heart]].
251	* [[WickedWitch Gruntilda]] from ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' has green skin and dresses all in black. Her outfit is further accented with a scarf in two shades of purple.
252	* Sigma from ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' tends to incorporate green, orange and purple in the various bodies he uses throughout the series. His [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/4/41/Mmxsigma.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100616041027 original body]] actually manages to incorporate all primary '''and''' secondary colors too (which is fitting considering that he was [[FaceHeelTurn once good]]), but it's easy to see that the secondary ones are more prominent.
253	** To a lesser extent, there's Vile on his appearances in ''X1'' and ''X8'', where he has purple and green armors respectively. He subverts it on ''X3'' as he takes a primarily blue color scheme.
254	* From ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' onward, ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}''[='s=] Ridley is frequently depicted as a purple-scaled dragon with magenta wings and yellow eyes. He also falls under DependingOnTheArtist, as he has also been depicted to have yellow wings (in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''), green eyes (''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM''), and different body colors ranging from dull green (''VideoGame/MetroidZeroMission''), blue (''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'') to bright red-orange (promo material for ''Super'', despite his purple in-game sprite). By extension, his accomplices Draygon, Phantoon and Kraid are all primarily colored green, and their commander Mother Brain is brownish with a fiery red 'brain'.
255	* In ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'', the player can act in movies, including a superhero series that also features (former) Gym Leader Brycen, who plays the villainous Brycen-Man, wearing purple with green accents.
256	* The Zerg of ''Franchise/StarCraft'' have ''a lot'' of green, purple and orange in their color scheme, in addition to brown. This is heavily in contrast to the golden yellows and blues of their nemesis, the Protoss. Played straight but then ultimately subverted with the [[DarkIsNotEvil Nerazim]] protoss, who utilize greens and purples in contrast to their yellow and blue Khalai brethren, as they ultimately end up as firm allies after being bitter rivals for years. Come ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'', the Zerg start to subvert the 'nemesis' aspect of this due to their gradual HeelFaceTurn, but still retain the color scheme.
257	* ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'': Spyro himself is mostly purple and orange despite being the hero, but that doesn't prevent some of his enemies from following the same color scheme.
258	** Spyro's very first enemy was Gnasty Gnorc, a green, troll-like creature. The Gnorc soldiers themselves came in green, orange or purple, with any other color being rare.
259	** Spyro's archnemesis, Ripto, is a small, orange dinosaur wizard who wears purple robes.
260	* In ''VideoGame/ChampionsOnline'', VIPER, the biggest evil organization you fight in the game, tend toward green and yellow motif for their armor. Meanwhile, the forces of the Qliphoth, including Luther Black of DEMON, tend toward a predominantly purple and black color scheme.
261	* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'':
262	** ''VideoGame/MortalKombatMythologiesSubZero'': [[GodOfEvil Shinnok]] wears green, yellow and red robes while [[EvilSorcerer Quan Chi]] wears a green and black jumpsuit.
263	** ''VideoGame/MortalKombatShaolinMonks'': Shang Tsung wears purple robes.
264	** ''VideoGame/MortalKombat4'': In this game, Reptile has scaly green skin and wears purple pants.
265	** ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception'': Onaga is a DraconicHumanoid with scaly green skin.
266	** ''VideoGame/MortalKombatArmageddon'' and ''VideoGame/MortalKombat3'' have Rain, an evil and arrogant Edenian demigod who dresses in purple.
267	** ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'': The evil elder god and [[spoiler: Shinnok's sister]] Cetrion has dull purple skin and wears a green dress made of teal crystal and green plant matter. [[spoiler: This timeline's version of Sindel falls into this trope having been retconned into being evil of her own free will and wearing purple.]]
268	* ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'':
269	** The BigBad of the series, William Afton, is famously depicted with purple sprites. As the animatronic Springtrap, his suit turned from yellow into a shade of lime green from neglect. Subverted with [[spoiler: his son, Michael, who is also colored purple, but wants to stop his father]].
270	** [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile Montgomery Gator]] and [[SavageWolves Roxanne Wolf]]; the former is [[GreenGators green]] with purple accents, accessories, and makeup, and his eyes become orange [[spoiler:after he gets broken]], whilst the latter has green and purple makeup, purple arm and leg warmers, and just seems largely associated with purple in general, sometimes even looking purple. In addition to being BrainwashedAndCrazy, they both seem to be the more flawed of the Glamrocks; Montgomery has a HairTriggerTemper and a penchant for breaking things, while Roxanne has an InferioritySuperiorityComplex. That said, Montgomery seems to lean into this trope more so than Roxanne; his colors are more noticeable, and he is the most violent and destructive of the Glamrocks. [[spoiler:Oh, and he may or may not have murdered another (sapient, benevolent) robot prior to being brainwashed.]]
271	* In the ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' games, Raffina was introduced as TheRival to PrimaryColorChampion Amitie. Raffina's outfit is prominently orange with some purple, and she also wears green earrings.
272	* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} III'': the Undead Scourge has a lot of (matted) purple and [[SicklyGreenGlow green]] in their color scheme. In the campaigns, their forces are mostly colored purple and green, too.
273	* In ''VideoGame/{{Polyroll}}'', the BigBad Kaiser Kiwi has a green body, a purple head and wings, and an orange beak and talons, contrasting with the hero Polyroll, who has a [[PrimaryColorChampion red and blue]] body.
274	* This trope, along with PrimaryColorChampion, are ZigZagged in the ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' franchise:
275	** Crash himself, while he does have blue shorts and red shoes, still has orange fur that is obviously more dominant, making him an inversion.
276	** Also inverted with Crash's ArchEnemy, [[MadScientist Dr. Cortex]], who has [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation yellow skin]]. Further inverted with his appearance changing throughout the series; ''VideoGame/CrashNitroKart'' depicts him with red gloves and boots, while ''VideoGame/CrashOfTheTitans'' gives him (dark)-blue hair.
277	** Similarly inverted with [[TimeMaster Dr. N. Tropy]], another evil scientist with blue skin.
278	** Dr. N. Brio is yet another evil scientist wearing a green labcoat, making him a straight example.
279	** Played straight with [[AliensAreBastards Nitros Oxide]], [[GalacticConqueror Emperor Velo]], and [[EggFolk N. Trance]]. The former two are evil aliens with green skin and purple clothes, while the latter is an evil alien with purple skin, green eyes, and orange lights on his robotic suit. Nitros Oxide also has orange eyes and dreadlocks, while Emperor Velo has purple hair.
280	* Dr. Nefarious from ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' is an evil cyborg with purple armor, a green dome atop his head, and orange highlights on his elbows and knees. When he was an organic alien, he also had green skin. His AlternateSelf, Emperor Nefarious, has mostly white armor, but still has orange accents, including an orange dome.
281	* While the heroic plants from ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'' are represented by green, that doesn't change the fact that the zombies are largely represented by purple. A few of them (such as [[VideoGame/PlantsVsZombiesGardenWarfare Super Brainz]] and [[VideoGame/PlantsVsZombiesHeroes Immorticia]]) also have purple clothing.
282	* ''VideoGame/NicktoonsUnite'': [[BigBad Globulous]] from ''Globs of Doom'' is an orange alien slime monster with purple eyelids and lips. The same also applies to his minions, the Morphoids.
283	* ''VideoGame/BugFables'': The Leafbug Tribe enemies in the Wild Swamplands make up a secondary color palette, with Ninjas being pale green, Archers being purple, and Clubbers being orange. This contrasts with Team Snakemouth, composed of the yellow Vi, blue/cyan Leif, and forest green Kabbu. They are a downplayed example as they are not entirely evil, but are hostile to outsiders and a language barrier has made negotiating with them difficult.
284	[[/folder]]
285
286	[[folder:Webcomics]]
287	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'''s [[spoiler:[[BigBad Lord English]]]] has [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation dark green skin]] and wears a green overcoat.
288	* ''Webcomic/StarImpact'''s [[StarterVillain Urchin]] wears pink shorts, a moss-green belt with a neon-green skull-shaped belt buckle, a black tank top with a neon-green stripe running across it, and [[TechnicolorEyes pink irises]] and a black-and-pink mohawk, contrasting against [[TheHero Aster]]'s purplish-blue hair, powder-blue BigOlEyebrows, and yellow irises.
289	[[/folder]]
290
291	[[folder:Web Original]]
292	* ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'': ComicBook/TheJoker, put against [[Literature/{{IT}} Pennywise]], wears the usual purple suit with a green shirt (and hair, as usual). On top of that, his backgrounds are also green and purple for the most part.
293	[[/folder]]
294
295	[[folder:Western Animation]]
296	* Bushroot is the straightest example in ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', being mostly green with purple hair. Downplayed as compared to the rest of Darkwing's RoguesGallery, Bushroot is more of an AntiVillain.
297	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'' gave us the classic LegionOfDoom, which naturally featured Lex Luthor in his then-iconic purple and green jumpsuit, Brainiac with his green skin and reddish-purple leotard, and Riddler in his green bodysuit with purple accessories. For the ''Super Powers'' seasons, Luthor gained his green and purple PoweredArmor, while Brainiac dumped his colors (and entire body) for a metallic-gray robotic form as he had in the comics[[note]]Luthor's warsuit and Brainiac's robotic body were both introduced in the same [[MilestoneCelebration anniversary issue]] of ''Action Comics'', in fact[[/note]]. Joker finally appeared on the show in the ''Galactic Guardians'' season in all his green-haired, purple-suited glory (with an orange vest and green shirt).
298	* ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse:''
299	** ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' kept most of the villains in their iconic costumes: The Joker wore a purple suit and had green hair, the Riddler sported a green suit and bowler hat (with purple gloves and mask), and Poison Ivy had a green leotard.
300	** ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' stayed true to comic book depictions for the most part, with Parasite having purple skin, and Brainiac's drones depicted with pale green faces and hands, and darker purple torsos and legs. Darkseid's son Kalibak also gained a green costume.
301	** In ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'', many of the villains including Ebon, Replikon, Permafrost, Slipstream, Boom, Hyde, Onyx, Puff, Replay and Rubber-Band Man were primarily purple in contrast with Static's heroic blue and yellow. In addition, Carmen Dillo was orangish tan with purple accents. D-Struct was made of white light with a purple glowing outline. Ragtag had a purple hat and scarf with a green coat. Shiv, while he wore red, had purple hair and blades. Talon had orange feathers, green wings, and wore purple. And Leech both wore purple and had green skin. Basically, if your character design included purple, you were probably evil.
302	** ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' had Mongul I, in his trademark purple costume. After he lost his VillainWithGoodPublicity facade, ComicBook/LexLuthor also started wearing more green and purple, complete with a suit of PoweredArmor similar to his one from the comics.
303	* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' not only kept Mysterio, Scorpion, Vulture, Green Goblin, and Lizard in their usual greens and purples, but put Doctor Octopus (whose comic book outfits have been prone to change) in an orange and green uniform.
304	* Angelica Pickles from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' wears an orange blouse and socks, plus a purple jumper and sneakers, and her blue tights have green polka-dots. She is a spoiled brat and a manipulative bully.
305	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'':
306	** Mojo Jojo, with his green skin and purple cape, is the most recurring villain of the ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''.
307	** The Gangreen Gang are all green-skinned, with the color orange being present in Ace, Snake and Big Billy.
308	** It's worth noting that Buttercup, who wears green, is the least virtuous of the heroes.
309	* Roger from ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' is a [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation chartreuse-skinned]], orange-haired bully. Oh, and he also has a [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife purple]] [[CatsAreMean cat]].
310	* The Hooded Claw from ''WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop'' wore his dark green getup in combination with a purple DominoMask.
311	* The "instant Martians" created by Marvin the Martian to pursue Bugs Bunny in some ''Franchise/LooneyTunes'' cartoons were green somewhat-humanoid birds with purple tufts on their necks and orange beaks in certain artworks.
312	* Dick Dastardly and Muttley from ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' and ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines'' are an infamous duo consisting of a purple coat-wearing trickster and his greenish chuckling dog, who often wears an orange accessory like a dog collar or aviator helmet.
313	* The Monarch from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' is well-known by his orange-and-black butterfly/moth getup, which he shares with his subordinates. Also a rare example that wears more than one shade of orange.
314	* Dan Backslide, the coward-bully-cad-and-thief of ''WesternAnimation/TheDoverBoys'' fame is a sea-green-skinned man wearing an appropriate purple suit.
315	* The main recurring villains in ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' tend to have color schemes comprised dominantly of green (Lord Boxman, Raymond, Fink) purple (Professor Venomous, Ernesto) or orange (Shannon.)
316	* ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales 1987}}'' color coded Donald Duck's nephews -- Huey in red, Dewey in blue, and Louie in green. ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales 2017}}'' made Louie, the only one who wears a secondary color, the "evil triplet" (he's not a villain, but he is definitely the least moral and most dishonest of his brothers).
317	* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': [[ANaziByAnyOtherName The Huntsman]] wore a green uniform in season 1 and a purple one in season 2.
318	* ZigZagged on ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
319	** Plankton is a straight example, being [[GreenAndMean green]] and the show's main villain, whereas his {{archenemy}}, Mr. Krabs, has red skin and a blue shirt, though Mr. Krabs also wears purple pants.
320	** On the other hand, this trope and [[PrimaryColorChampion its opposite]] are {{inverted}} with superhero Mermaid Man and his supervillain enemy, Man-Ray; the former's color scheme includes orange, purple, and green, as well as black and pink[[note]]Though, DependingOnTheArtist, his belt may be yellow instead of purple.[[/note]], while the latter's costume is red and blue with a yellow belt-buckle.
321	* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'': Hawkmoth wears a purple suit in almost all his forms, in contrast to Ladybug's bright red and black.
322	* ''WesternAnimation/ZakStorm'': BigBad Skullivar is only colored in a spectral green and black.
323	* ''WesternAnimation/ActionMan2000'': Alex Mann himself wore orange and blue with some occasional red in most of his outfits, while his sports rival, Brandon Cain, wore purple and green. It's worth noting that their rivalry started off as a friendly one, but then [[PlayingWithSyringes things]] [[GrandTheftMe happened]]...
