*** Popular interpretation of the villainess ComicBook/PoisonIvy. Her primary clothing is green, and her skin color has also become green in some depictions, but she is always a redhead.
*** Sometimes, ComicBook/TheRiddler. The hair varies, but it frequently comes back to red to complement that green Riddler suit.

** Guy Gardner, the resident FieryRedhead of the ''Franchise/GreenLantern Corps''.

** Reformed rogue and close friend of ComicBook/WallyWest, Pied Piper/Hartley Rathaway. His orange hair and bright green attire contrast well. [[DependingOnTheArtist At least when he's not being drawn as blonde.]]

*** In the [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Post-Crisis continuity]], Diana's friend and temporary AntiHeroSubstitute ComicBook/{{Artemis}} is a redhead who can usually be picked out from a crowd due to her long red hair and green suit, though when she was pulled in as a ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' character her outfit got a recolor to red.

*** Once the X-Men started putting on individual costumes instead of blue and yellow uniforms, ComicBook/JeanGrey put on green (usually complemented by yellow/gold) most of the time.

*** Auburn-haired ComicBook/{{Rogue}} is usually dressed at least partially in green.
*** ComicBook/HopeSummers and ComicBook/RachelSummers, both redheads (and one an alternate future daughter of Jean), wear green, although Rachel generally prefers to wear red.

*** ComicBook/NormanOsborn, AKA the Green Goblin, has red hair, although his costume hides it.

* In ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/DanceWithTheDemons'', red-haired [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Barbara Gordon]] wears a stunning green outfit during her first scenes.

* ''Series/OnceUponATime'': Zelena aka [[WalkingSpoiler the Wicked Witch of the West]] in a similar vein to ComicBook/PoisonIvy, in that she is a [[EvilRedhead redhead]] with green skin, although she mainly wears black.

*** Auburn-haired Rogue is usually dressed at least partially in green.

** ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':

* As noted in the description, green and red are complementary colors, and many redheads are fond of green clothes and accessories as a result. The inverse also probably has something to do with it: redheads frequently have pale skin or a pinkish color to their skin, so cooler colors (such as blue, green and purple) are flattering for redheads. By contrast, warmer colors (like red, orange and yellow) can look unflattering (but not always). [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Actually, hardly anyone looks good in yellow.]]

* ''Film/BlackPanther'': Nakia has dyed red hair and usually dresses in green, the color of Wakanda's River Tribe which she's a member of.

* Keyleth of the Air-Ashari from ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' at least in her initial appearances was generally described as a green outfit wearing, antler-headdress adorned {{druid}} with long flowing red-hair and [[SignificantGreenEyedRedhead green eyes]]. Later she switches outfit to a morn "autumn leaves" shade of orange-brown but then switches back to green for the end of the campaign.

Basically, this is when the main outfit of a [[FieryRedhead redhead, auburn]], or even a [[RoseHairedSweetie pink-haired]] character is (at least mostly) green. This trope can sometimes be used to hint that somebody is of Irish descent, but sometimes, illustrators use it for traditional RedGreenContrast or because they just feel like it. Bonus points if the character in question has [[GreenThumb nature-themed]] [[ElementalPowers abilities]].

* Fiona from ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}''. The fact that, [[LateArrivalSpoiler at the end of]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} the first movie]], she becomes an ogress permanently and gains green skin as well doesn't help matters.

* In medeival Europe and for many centuries afterward, red hair and green clothes were commonly used to code characters as Jewish; since this was almost invariably done with antisemitic intent, a character being described as redheaded and/or dressed in green was usually the first sign that they were the villain of the story.

* Downplayed in ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed''. Ming usually wears a bright green blazer for most of the film but only briefly after the climax does she sport red hair. This applies to Mei's grandma and aunties as well except they wear dark green and/or teal clothing.

* ''Film/BlackNarcissus'' features Sister Clodagh wearing green clothes in her {{Happy Flashback}}s to her youth in Ireland. Her red hair is usually covered by her nun's habit, but in the flashbacks we see it loose and free, covered by a green scarf in one Christmas scene. In another she's wearing a pale green evening gown as her grandmother presents her with a pair of emerald earrings.
