Description
Here is my "Red/Green Contrast" Meme Template.
In basic complementary color theory, Color Contrast (a Super-Trope ) refers to the use of any two polar opposite colors on the wheel. When such colors are put together in a single image, with almost no other color presence, the effect is called popping, or standing out heavily. This, in turn, colors films to have a strong contrasting palette as the natural technique. Red and Green are no exception.
In many ways it is more associated with the battle of good and evil , whichever color representing which being interchangeable depending on the work:
- Red can be viewed as the color of passion, giving warmth and inspiring courage, while it can also be seen as representing fire 's destructive capabilities . It is commonly used as the main color for the Primary-Color Champion (red being one of three primary colors), making it heroic in-context. Red is also the color of Santa Claus . When red represents an evil or villainous force, it is commonly associated with hatred and violence and the color of blood, and is usually paired with black or white for emphasis. Tropes Are Flexible , and variant shades like pink, coral, magenta, vermillion, rust, maroon, and brick red can stand in for red. Red also tends to be a more masculine color , and usually plays the Red Oni in a Red Oni, Blue Oni relationship. If applied to a female character, she would signify a sensually strong character, while pink can either depict innocence or sexual positivity.
- Green 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 plant-life , the wind , the forces of nature , and the Earth . With this, green is also the color of Santa's elves or the grumpiness of The Grinch . When depicted as a force of evil, green can be used as the most prominent color for the Secondary Color Nemesis (as one of the three secondary colors), making them Green and Mean with the Sickly Green Glow 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 Blue Oni in a Red Oni, Blue Oni relationship. If applied to a male character, he would signify a more casual and down-to earth character.
It is also one of the reasons why, despite red hair being technically orange, Significant Green-Eyed Redhead and Redhead In Green are so popular.
Suffice to say, red and green is a prevalent color scheme for Christmas, and it has been around for centuries, used by ancient cultures like the Celts and the Aztecs placing hollies and poinsettias respectively to provide color and warmth to the winter. Red and Green is further solidified as THE Christmas colors after an artist named Haddon Sundblom was commissioned by Coca-Cola to depict Santa in an all-red suit complemented with evergreen backgrounds. In almost every Christmas-themed media, expect red and green to pop up more.
Ironically enough, red-green colorblindness is the most common type of color blindness, so excessive reliance on this in user interfaces, signage, etc. can result in accessibility issues. Compare with Orange/Blue Contrast and Yellow/Purple Contrast .
