Line 23:
* The Moon Empress in ''[[Yaiba]]'' has her hair and [[Playboy Bunny]] outfit shaded violet.
* In the manga of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', Anthy's hair is black, while it's purple in the TV series and movie.
* Inverted in ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', in which Sakuyamon, which is a [[Holy Hand Grenade|Vaccine type]], has a purple light power. The more dark Virus types are more associated with red.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* There is some debate over whether or not [[The Joker]] originally wore a purple or black suit.
** Regardless, the purple suit is now iconic and has been used throughout comics and by actors as varied as Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and Mark Hammill's versions of the Joker.
Line 46:
== Toys ==
* Ravage, the stealthy jaguar whose colors traditionally are black with either red or yellow highlights, has recently been getting purple highlights on his figures. His abilities have always been explicitly shadow-based, and it seems like designers are taking it to the next level.
* Toy versions of Spider-Man's black costume sometimes get this, as a pure black costume would be visually uninteresting and, apparently, toy designers get sick of blue highlights.
Line 53:
* Played straight inconsistently in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' games: some Dark-type moves are purple, even though the icon for the Dark type is black, with purple being used for the Ghost type. Likewise, a standard Shadow Pokemon has a black-purplish aura when detected. A Shadow Pokemon caught in Hyper or Reverse Mode has a blood-red aura instead
* Shadow-based weaponry and attacks in ''[[Spiral Knights]]'' are typically purple.
* The ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' series as a whole depicts Dark magic as a mix of black and purple, at least from the GBA era onward. Most playable Dark users - [[Fire Emblem Elibe|Sophia, Lleu, Niime, Canas]], [[Fire Emblem:
* ''[[Metroid Prime|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'' brings the purple blob-shooting Dark Beam that can [[Freeze Ray|freeze enemies]] with charged shots. [[Dark World|Dark Aether]] is visually a copy of Light Aether, but darker and purplier. Not to mention the dark purple Ing and the purple-colored doors that require said Dark Beam to open them.
** In earlier stages of the game, the unique damage received from exposure to Dark Aether's takes the form of purple circles.
