Basically, darkness associated with evil, ugliness and scary monsters. This is the reason for the naming of TheDarkSide and the DarkLord, and why EvilCounterpart characters and certain UndergroundMonkey[==]s often have 'dark' in front of their name.
This is the original ColorCodedForYourConvenience CharacterAlignment trope, and it's OlderThanDirt. [[PrimalFear Early humans feared the dark]], because dangerous animals could see better in the dark than we can, and the dark can hide other dangers. Furthermore, the fact that it's so hard to see in darkness (well for humans, anyways) has caused us to associate darkness with deception. Evil is associated with deception as well, so naturally, from Star Wars to cowboy movies, bad guys wear black hats. If you want to be even more obvious about it, give the bad guy a [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast name]] that has something to do with darkness.

* {{Bionicle}} plays this straight but also subverts it: every character in the Matoran Universe has an inner balance of light and shadow. Those characters that tap into their dark side or are drained of their inner light, turn evil as a result, gain shadow-based powers, and become darker in their coloration. At the same time, thanks to ColorCodedElements, some element-based good guys also sport dark colors, and a handful are almost completely black.
