Just thinking about all of these, understand how comcs used colors to help portray the senses of good in evil in the comic world. Lastly, green and purple were used in Green Hornet and Incredible Hulk. Two using red and yellow are Iron Man and Daredevil. Those using blue and yellow are X-men comics. It exclaimed that comics using red an blue were Spider-man, Wonder Woman, Superman, and Captain America.

The article also included examples of comic characters and the colors that were used to create them. Some of the colors that are also associated with the “heroes” or “good guys” are bright red, gold, pink, blue, and brown. He dresses in mostly black and his sign is usually colored with yellow as well. One of the most interesting things about this article was that it asserted that black was a color that can also be associated with “good guys.” It states that, “the reluctant hero can be found in black most times.” This is evident when we focus on the aforementioned Batman. When I think of white, I think of purity, but the article suggests that it deals with “Messiah types.” I definitely understand this and can see that white can be used in that way. Other colors associated with the evil or dark side are unnatural green, dark blue, purple, and blood red. With the exception of Batman, even of the main color isn’t black, one can find many shades of black and/or a lot of shadows. I agree with the idea that black represents or is used in relation to “bad guys” or villains. It was really interesting to see the differences of what I think the colors would mean and what the article presents. The article gives a listing of colors that ave been used and what they have been associated with. I looked at the Comic Book Color Palettes article to see what I could find. I have began to look back and see how colors have been interpreted in comics over the years. It’s hard to step back and look at a comic from the lens of trying to understand what the artist was thinking when they originally drew and colored the comic. We sometimes lose ourselves in the plot and tend read at such a pace that we lose sight of the detail that is in the comic. Many times when we read comics we don’t take the time to pay attention to the colors that are associated with entities in the comic world.
