Fan Casting White and Red and Eerie All Over in Sort by Tropes

White is a sterile color generally agreed upon by many to be a "pure" one, and when introduced with a touch of vibrant red, it creates a very jarring contrast. But while this combination of colors can be elegant, in some circumstances, there can also be something unnervingly haunting about a white-and-red coloration. White is the color of bone and bloodless skin, and red the color of blood and bared flesh. Put them together and you get an unholy matrimony between Light Is Not Good and Red Is Violent; an appearance that is sickly, sterile, and ethereal, yet vibrant and visceral at the same time, like a pale corpse cut open to reveal its insides.
