* Black-White Contrast: The most common type of contrast as well as the most recognizable. Though early films used this by necessity, it can also be used deliberately, whether [[Deliberately Monochrome|in the style of these old movies]] or for certain [[Rule of Symbolism|symbolic situations]] that rely on the popular idea of "as different as black and white" referring to polar opposites. See [[Light Is Good]] and [[Dark Is Evil]]. |

* [[Orange |
* [[Orange-Blue Contrast]]: Became very common during the [[Turn of the Millennium]], its prominence is due to human skin tones having a median orange tint and blue being the color that contrasts the most with orange. |

* Green-Purple Contrast: Common in forest settings, as the color green is already in abundance and purple, whether it's found in flowers or other sources, is bound to be there as well. Bodies of water found in forests are occasionally made purple instead of blue to fit this. |

* Red-Blue Contrast (sometimes Red Green-Blue Contrast): Used to contrast hot and cold or earth and water; see [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]. Also used when creators want to give the same good/evil dichotomy as Black-White Contrast but either don't want to go the monochrome route or think that Black-White Contrast is overused. |
