Line 13:
Not to be confused with [[Cool Shades]], though those may be involved somewhere.
 
* '''[[Black and White Morality|Black vs. White:]]''' Doesn't need too much explanation. [[Harry Potter|Harry against Voldemort]], [[Castlevania|Belmont Family versus Dracula]], [[The Lord of the Rings|Gondor against Mordor]], [[Transformers|Autobots against Decepticons]], etcetera. When there are a lot of other conflicts on the side, this tends to be the one most emblematic of the series. The [[Worthy Opponent]] may deign to work for the [[Card-Carrying Villain]] to get the chance to fight [[The Messiah]], but the story isn't so much about the first as it is about the last two.
* '''[[Good Versus Good|White vs. White]]:''' [[Lighter and Softer]]
* '''[[White and Grey Morality|White vs. Grey:]]''' A lot of conflicts between the [[Ideal Hero]] and the [[Anti-Hero]] or [[Anti-Villain]] tend to lean on this side. Also the most [[Egregious]] [[Our Elves Are Better]], when lacking perfection isn't good enough for the smug little bastards. At this shade you have [[Mega Man Zero|Zero versus Harpuia]], [[Pokémon Black and White|trying to stop N]], etc. See also [[But Not Too Evil]].
