Fan Casting Significant White Hair, Dark Skin in Sort by Tropes

Just as Raven Hair, Ivory Skin makes for quite a striking visual design, so does the inverse: a character with white or silver-colored hair and skin that is dark enough to heavily contrast with it. All the more notable since, unlike the former, this combination of traits is very rare for young people to have in real life, though not impossible either. As a result, characters with these traits will stand out even more, while also having an appearance that is compatible with realistic settings and more naturalistic character designs. This visual contrast is especially common in Japanese media due to a lot of manga being drawn in black-and-white, and thus the contrast between dark skin and light hair on a character will stand out even stronger on the page.
