Also contrast Green Means Natural for a color association used to indicate something being natural. Might turn up in Medical Horror as well, and is one of the reasons behind the assumption that Albinos Are Freaks—though in most albinistic humans in Real Life, the famous red eyes only show up under direct bright light (with blue being the most common color the rest of the time).

Jimmy Kimmel at the 2012 White House Correspondent's Dinner did this joke and replied: "Nothing anymore", in an allusion to the death of print news. [8] See also [ edit ] Until the suicide deaths of 55-year-old fashion designer Kate Spade and celebrity chef and TV star 61-year-old Anthony Bourdain in the same week in early June, I didn’t really see much coverage of the public health emergency that is represented not only by suicide, but by the approximately 10-fold greater numbers of attempts. Where’s the ongoing media coverage of that? The week after these two celebrity deaths, NBC News at least showed the phone number for the National Suicide Lifeline on their nightly broadcast. But that’s about it from the media. Half-Life 2: The Combine Elite are the cream of the crop among transhuman soldiers under the Combine empire, distinguishable by their white armour, red right shoulder pad, and a single, piercing red eye. They are the only characters in the game that can use the disintegrating dark energy sphere Secondary Fire of the Pulse Rifle other than Freeman himself. Curiously, they're not as dangerous as the regular soldiers and their grenades.She adds that it is possible to translate the intent of the joke, and to retain the invariant core of the colour red and the reference to a newspaper, by substituting a different riddle that relies upon metaphor, albeit that the homophonic play upon words is lost. She gives the following example in French, which relies upon the facts that L'Humanité is the newspaper of the French Communist Party, and that, as "red" has in English, " rouge" in French has political connotations of Communism: [6] Q: Qu'est-ce qui/Quel journal est tout rouge et noir et blanc? A: L'Humanité Christine: The titular car, which one of the characters, before being killed, compares to "ivory and dried blood". The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: The Mini-Boss monster Dead Hand from the Bottom Of The Well and the Shadow Temple is white with a reddish tint all over its body and has quite a bit of Nightmare Fuel going for its ghoulish appearance and behaviour. Psychic Maws also share the same coloration, being floating pale heads whose eyes are stitched up save for a third one on their foreheads, which cry Tears of Blood. In Fengshen Yanyi, the Taoist hermit Chijingzi owns the Fabao (magic instrument) called "Yin and Yang Mirror", which he later passes to his trainee Prince Yin Hong. The mirror has a red side, representing Yang, and a white side representing Yin: the former can give life and heal all those who reflect into it, but the other side can instantly kill instead.

Devil May Cry: The Animated Series: The Villain of the Week in "Rolling Thunder" is a demon who disguises himself as a priest before revealing himself to the heroes. His demonic visage has white, glowing skin, red eyes, a blue toga and feathery wings. For bonus points, his human disguise is a priest. Spider-Man himself was meant to invoke this trope despite his costume being made out of two primary colors, as the red and dark blue coloring, in addition to his gymnastics and mask with its creepy eye holes was meant to be unsettling. The True Final Boss of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Chaos Elfilis, has a predominantly white body with crimson-red accents on their horns and the ends of their limbs. They gained this red coloring after assimilating the soul of the immensely powerful Morpho Knight, who is clad in scarlet armor.Tekkaman Blade has a main rival who sports this color theme. Bonus points for being named Tekkaman Evil. It will force May to drop her claim that she was keeping her cards close to her chest to avoid tipping off rival negotiators, but risks revealing that Britain is actually holding a busted flush – more red, white and blue than all red. Sy's nightmare sequence in One Hour Photo consists of him dressed all in white and standing in a white aisle as blood gushes out of his eyes. Metroid Dread has Cyber Cyclops E.M.M.I. in many colors, but the one given most attention in the promotion is the white one, certainly to invoke this trope.
