12	Sometimes, looks can be deceiving, especially when it comes to characters or objects wearing [[pink:pink]]. For a color associated with femininity, innocence, playfulness, and love, they are often the ones that need to be watched out for. Female characters often at first appear to be [[ManicPixieDreamGirl quirky]] or [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} crazy in a good way]] before exposing their... well.. [[NothingNiceAboutSugarAndSpice true colors]] in the style of being a {{bitch\|InSheepsClothing}} or [[{{Yandere}} crazy]] in [[CuteAndPsycho a bad way]].
13
14	Intense shades of pink such as hot pink and magenta can be associated with this, as they can be off-putting and too much for the eyes, and as such, characters who wear these shades, like the AlphaBitch in teen films, can be a red flag, or a hot pink flag in this case. Muted shades of pink like puce or old rose can give off a macabre and visceral feel, and can also convey a psychologically not-all-there character.
15
16	Can be part of SubvertedInnocence, specifically subverting PinkMeansFeminine (supertrope of PinkGirlBlueBoy, PinkIsForSissies[=/=]RealMenWearPink, PrincessesPreferPink, and RoseHairedSweetie), CuteAndPsycho, and CheeryPink, juxtaposing what is often seen as a soft, gentle, welcoming color with a more aggressive, unsettling character type. Though this principle doesn't always apply; see NothingNiceAboutSugarAndSpice (which will frequently contain this trope) when the very "sweetness" and traditional femininity is used to evil ends. There are also cases when a genuinely good characters who wear pink [[GoodIsNotNice can give]] their [[GoodIsNotSoft nasty sides]] if pushed to their limits.
17
18	In JapaneseMedia, the {{Yandere}} girls can be seen usually with pink clothes and/or [[RoseHairedSweetie hair]]. With pink being associated with love and romance, and being in LoveMakesYouCrazy if it's not MadLove outright for these characters, you get a lot of psychotic pink-themed characters.
19
20	Male versions are more often crazy out of the gate or [[TheFakeCutie initially played off as adorable]]. Pink, being associated with femininity, is a deceptive/deliberate color for a female villain or a male SissyVillain. Considering that men used to wear pink prior to the 20th century, and some tints and hues of pink are reddish, there would be an overlap regarding the [[RedIsViolent violent and passionate nature]] of pink and how [[RealMenWearPink some men find the color manly]] despite its softened appearance.
21
22	Can overlap with PinkIsErotic when it deals with hypersexuality and sexual depravity.
23	KillerRabbit, BrightIsNotGood, MysteriousPurple, and WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver also often overlap.

29	[[folder:Advertising]]
30	* Downplayed in ''Advertising/SuzyPuppy''; the majority of the ad is bright pink to contrast the dark reality of puppy mills.
31	[[/folder]]
32
33	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
34	* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Szayelaporro Granz is a SissyVillain with pink hair. He is also an AxCrazy EvilGenius.
35	* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
36	** Frieza is a [[{{Sadist}} sadistic]], [[TheSociopath heartless]] EvilOverlord with a SissyVillain color scheme centered around pink and [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]]. The pink includes much of his skin in his first three forms, as well as many of his energy blasts (one barrage lights up the whole landscape pink for a minute).
37	** Frieza's elite henchman Dodoria has pink skin and is (if on a lesser scale) just as evil as his boss, revelling in the slaughter of weaker opponents, children, and old people.
38	** Majin Buu is an OmnicidalManiac who, in addition to being completely pink, looks pretty silly, at least as Fat Buu.
39	** Goku Black is a deicidal, [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal]], [[GrandTheftMe body-snatching]] narcissist, and only gets worse once he unlocks his pink-haired [[SuperMode Super Saiyan Rosé]] form.
40	* ''Manga/DrStone'': Homura Momiji, the resident DarkActionGirl, wears an all-pink outfit and has pink hair. Her EstablishingCharacterMoment is her burning down Ishigami Village while Hyoga and his goons distract the heroes.
41	* ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx'': Zero two has pink hair, and is also pretty dangerous (even gaining a reputation of killing her partners who pilot with her) and aggressive.
42	* ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'': Haruna Niekawa is easily one of the less sane characters in the show, which is saying something given the CastFullOfCrazy. She's an AxeCrazy Saika Child who slashes hundreds of people across Ikebukuro to express Saika's love and is worryingly obsessed and infatuated with her former teacher, Mr. Nasujima, despite him being a pedophile who only wanted her money. After Anri cuts her, she returns wearing a bright [[ElegantGothicLolita pink dress and a rose-themed purse]], and is every bit as violent and unstable as ever.
43	* ''Manga/ElfenLied'': In the [[AdaptationDyeJob anime]], [[PeopleOfHairColor all]] diclonius have pink hair. In the manga, only Nyu has pink hair. Diclonius are a spinoff species of humans that, even as young children, have terrifying psychic abilities where they brutally murder all humans in sight. They can be neutral or even nice (as is the case with Nana and Nyu/[[spoiler:Kaede]]) but most are considered a danger and killed at birth or early in life. It's left vague if [[NatureVersusNurture they are born aggressive or if it's due to their highly abusive upbringings]], though the series implies diclonius all have a destructive anti-human side waiting to be brought out.
44	* ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' has the pink-themed Anemone, who's completely CuteAndPsycho (as opposed to blue-themed heroine Eureka).
45	* ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'': The AxCrazy Haruko Haruhara. Her EstablishingCharacterMoment features her ''running over'' TheProtagonist with a freaking MOPED. She also wields an electric guitar with a chainsaw-pull-string mechanism which she uses as, among other things, a HoverBoard and an ImprovisedWeapon.
46	* ''Manga/FutureDiary'': Gasai Yuno. Originally appearing to be a RoseHairedSweetie, Yuno quickly exposes her wild side by killing anything and everything that could pose even a semblance of a threat to her relationship with Yuki in a truly impressive feat of {{Yandere}} obsession.
47	* Satou, the VillainProtagonist of ''Manga/HappySugarLife'', has pink hair and seems to be a charming, upbeat and popular girl on the surface, but is secretly an AxCrazy {{Yandere}} who can and will do nearly anything, [[spoiler:including killing her own "best friend", Shouko]], in order to protect the "happy sugar life" she has with Shio, a girl whom she has essentially [[AbductionIsLove kidnapped]].
48	* ''Manga/HunterXHunter'': Hisoka's nen is often colored pink or purplish-pink when he uses it. This is to both play up its gum-like quality and to emphasize that this AxCrazy, BlueAndOrangeMorality having BloodKnight is indeed a complete psychopath.
49	* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
50	** ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind'': [[TheDon Diavolo]], the ruthless kingpin of [[TheMafia Passione]], sports a head of pink hair.
51	** ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean'' gives us Narciso Anasui, a pink-haired murderer obsessed with taking objects and people apart.
52	* ''Anime/KillLaKill'':
53	** Nonon Jakuzure wears pink and has pink hair [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow and eyes]], and is a BitchInSheepsClothing DarkActionGirl. [[spoiler:She turns out to be GoodAllAlong, though.]]
54	** Nui Harime wears even more pink than Jakazure does and [[TheFakeCutie acts like a childish girly girl]], but she's actually CuteAndPsycho and one of the franchise's most deadly combatants.
55	* ''Manga/LuckyStar'' [[PlayedForLaughs plays this for laughs]] with Akira Kogami; she's a pink-haired IdolSinger who [[BitchInSheepsClothing shows her true colors]] whenever something angers or annoys her, revealing that she's really a NiceCharacterMeanActor who's [[HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight very cynical about show business]].
56	* ''Literature/TheMisfitOfDemonKingAcademy'': Initially, Emilia Lud(o)well has a pair of pink eyes and was a murderous racist. However, she gets reincarnated into a brown-eyed half-demon and [[spoiler:eventually realizes how wrong her actions and beliefs were after being [[ColorMeBlack made to suffer the same racism she supported]]]].
57	* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'': Ilulu has pink hair, pink eyes, pink magic, and even her true form appears to be a dragon composed of pink flames. She is also an AxCrazy WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds, though she mellows out ''[[RoseHairedSweetie significantly]]'' as the series progresses.
58	* ''Anime/MonsterRancher'': BigBad Master Mu has two forms, one of a giant, armor-clad warrior and his true form as a massive dragon that's a virtual engine of destruction. Both forms also feature copious amounts of fluffy pink hair.
59	* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
60	** Donquixote Doflamingo always wears a feathery pink overcoat. He's also the manga's equivalent of ComicBook/TheJoker: perpetual SlasherSmile, cruel beyond measure, outright stated that he wants to watch the world burn...heck, Joker is his alias in the black market.
61	** Bellamy the Hyena is introduced as an [[SmallNameBigEgo extremely arrogant]] pirate who delights in mocking others, and he wears a pink shirt. Shortly thereafter, we find out that he idolized the aforementioned Doflamingo.
62	** "Big Mom" Charlotte Linlin has pink hair, is usually seen wearing similarly coloured outfits. She is also a ruthless tyrant of a pirate lord whose views on right and wrong never developed past childhood, making her particularly dangerous to cross, along with her terrifyingly strong natural strength and [[SoulPower devil fruit power]].
63	* ''Manga/PuellaMagiSuzuneMagica'': Arisa sports pink hair, pink eyes, and a pink outfit, but became a bully after making her contract, wields a scythe, and has a bit of a temper in general.
64	* ''Anime/QueensBlade'' has Melona, a pink-haired and garbed PsychopathicWomanchild SlimeGirl who delights in tormenting others for her amusement. Of the three servants of the [[BigBad Swamp Witch]] she's the cruelest and most openly bloodthirsty.
65	* ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'': Mari Illustrious Makinami wears a pink plugsuit and pilots a pink EVA Unit. She's also the most bloodthirsty and violent of the EVA Pilots.
66	* ''Anime/SonicX'': Amy Rose is already no slouch when it comes to fighting, but this incarnation is more temperamental and ''much'' fiercer as a fighter. Her feelings for Sonic can also come off more of an obsession and she often acts [[ClingyJealousGirl overprotective of him.]]
67	* ''Manga/ZatchBell'':
68	** Kolulu's true self is a gentle, pacifistic girl. As such, to take part in the battle, she has a bloodthirsty SuperpoweredEvilSide with razor-sharp claws. Oddly enough its color changes to incorporate purple.
69	[[/folder]]

71	[[folder:Art]]
72	* ''The Roses of Heliogabalus'', by Creator/LawrenceAlmaTadema, has the guests being smothered to death by a mountain of pink rose petals while the Roman emperor Elagabalus, in his decadence, gazes at the ill-fated guests with nonchalant indifference.
73	[[/folder]]
74
75	[[folder:Asian Animation]]
76	* ''Animation/NoonboryAndTheSuper7'' downplays this with both Jetybory and Rosygury. Jetybory, who is magenta, is the most aggressive and hotheaded of the Super Sensors. Rosygury is not physically pink, but it is her favorite color, and she is a rude, selfish villain.
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder:Comic Books]]
80	* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': The villain Flamingo wears all pink and is a vicious psychopath.
81	* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'': The Star Sapphires wear pink/purple outfits. Originally, Carol Ferris's Star Sapphire persona was evil and was even responsible for [[HeroKiller the murder of Katma Tui]], John Stewart's wife. The Star Sapphire emotional entity is even a pink alien monstrosity with too many [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily teeth]] and [[BizarreAlienLimbs limbs]] called the Predator and has been known to drive Star Sapphires [[LoveMakesYouCrazy mad with love]].
82	* ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'': Molly Hayes' parents were a pair of sadistic supervillains whose eyes glowed pink whenever they used their powers. Incidentally, whenever Molly's eyes and hair acquire a pink glow, it's usually best to run far away...
83	* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'':
84	** During the King Scourge arc, Sonic and Amy come across Amy's alternate universe counterpart, Rosy. In this universe, the wish she made on a ring to get older ended up making her lose her mind and all she wishes to do now is smash anyone she sees with her spiked hammer.
85	** From the same arc, Scourge's super form has bits of pink on him and causes his ego to swell even further while likewise making him more dangerous.
86	* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'': In ''ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW'' and its sequel series, ''ComicBook/TheTransformersRobotsInDisguise'', Arcee has pink coloration and is a cruel, violent berserker who brutally maims her victims and has an extreme vendetta against [[MadScientist Jhiaxus]], [[spoiler:who painfully changed her chassis into the feminine one (though while she ''wanted'' to become female, Jhiaxus' ways were extremely painful)]]. Also, it was noted that pink is the same color as energon, which flows in the Cybertronian veins akin to blood, so from Cybertronians' point of view, her coloration is equivalent to a human painting themselves blood-red.
87	[[/folder]]

89	[[folder:Fan Works]]
90	* ''Fanfic/DanganronpaParadiseLost'': [[spoiler:Noriko Aino, who wears a pink dress, turns out to be a violent and completely shameless {{Yandere}} perfectly willing to harm Daisuke Hiyori's friends, family and foes to have him all to herself, and if she fails, [[IfICantHaveYou she's not above killing him as well]]]].
91	* The popularity of Pinkie Pie's example of this trope (see the "Western Animation" folder below) has made it a very common focus in {{Dark Fic}}s out of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
92	** ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles'': In this infamous fanfic, Pinkie Pie is a serial killer and cannibal who not only uses pieces of her victims in her cupcake recipe but also takes cutie marks, pegasus wings, and unicorn horns and adds them to the dress she wears when torturing somepony.
93	** ''Fanfic/PartyOfNone'': Pinkie has [[AxCrazy lost her sanity]] from her friends not going to Gummy's after-birthday party and captures Rainbow Dash, tying her up while showing off an implied SplitPersonality.
94	** ''Fanfic/RocketToInsanity'': Subverted. In this fic, the events of ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles'' are revealed to be [[AllJustADream nightmares that Rainbow Dash has had]]. Rainbow Dash keeps having recurring nightmares of Pinkie Pie murdering her, which [[SanitySlippage drives]] ''[[SanitySlippage her]]'' [[SanitySlippage to insanity]] and eventually, she assassinates Pinkie.
95	** ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'': While not as evil as some of these examples, definitely psycho. When given control over most of the country, Pinkie's antics spiral into paranoia, and she begins turning Equestria into a watchful police state, eventually ruining her friendships in the process.
96	* ''Fanfic/TotalUndeadDrama'': A good chunk of the girls change to pink gowns after they're turned into vampires by Storm. But this is the most prominent in Sadie and Katie who were the first two turned by him. While still retaining their air-headed valley girl qualities, they likewise don't hesitate to attack their former friends and ignore the pleas of whom they capture to present to their master.
97	* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' of Creator/AAPessimal, an Assassin from a renowned Family is looking to make her name. Aware that the genetic lottery has denied her the striking red hair of her two aunts - both Assassins who have earned the title of ''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Red Death]]'' by their country's mortal foe next door, she looks at her strawberry-blonde hair and decides that very faint hint of red isn't going to cut it. She applies creative thought to this problem and decides to do something radical. She has her hair dyed with streaks of brilliant neon-pink. Just to make herself distinctive. And the Pink Death is born. Even if, this being the Discworld, a more literal-mindedness applies at first and titles like ''The Raspberry Ripple Death'' or the ''Merkle And Stingbat Pro-Keratine Salon-Quality Ultra-Bright Shocking Pink with Pro-V Death'' were bandied about.

100	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
101	* ''WesternAnimation/TheBobsBurgersMovie'': [[spoiler: Grover Fischoeder is eventually revealed to be the one who murdered Cotton Candy Dan as part of an elaborate plan to frame his cousins and build a mall on the wharf. Grover is known to wear a pink suit and wears a pink tracksuit in the 3rd act.]]
102	* Child star Darla Dimple from ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance'' dresses exclusively in pink. On-camera and in public, she bubbles with girlish charm and cutesy-poo goodness. [[NiceCharacterMeanActor When the general public isn't watching]], however, she's [[EnfantTerrible scary]] and a vicious Prima Donna. And if her tantrums aren't enough to scare you, she has a MightyGlacier manservant named Max who is loyal to her every command. That's why everyone at Mammoth Studios walks on eggshells around her.
103	* ''WesternAnimation/Rio2'': Gabi is a pink frog who will [[{{Yandere}} kill anyone just to win Nigel's love]]. [[spoiler:Subverted when it's revealed that her species isn't poisonous.]]
104	* The Aracuan Bird, who first appears in ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'', is bright pink with a red crest on his head, and is, per the {{Narrator}}, "[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} one of the most eccentric birds you've ever seen."]] His antics are usually pretty harmless, but sometimes they can cause big problems, such as drawing separate train tracks branching off from the main one, causing Donald and José's train to Baía to quite literally split apart, before reforming later on.
105	* ''WesternAnimation/TheWilloughbys'', the titular family are very magenta and very psycho. The Willoughby parents are incredibly abusive and are so obsessed with each other that they routinely neglect to feed their children. [[spoiler:They are also willing to leave their children to freeze to death at the top of Mount Everest]]. The kids themselves are a more justified example in that their parents abuse is why they created a vacation to the deadliest places on Earth, just so that they would be free of their terrible parents and so that they could have new better parents.
106	* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' gives us Lotso, a pink teddy bear who smells like strawberries. At first, he's amiable and welcoming to Woody and the gang when they first show up to Sunnyside Daycare. However, when they try to escape, he reveals his true nature as that of a tyrannical dictator who rules the daycare with an iron fist and imprisons them. Additionally, he's a toy equivalent to a nihilist in that he sees toys as just trash to eventually be thrown away.

109	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
110	* ''Film/TheBlob1988'' chose to depict the amorphous predator mainly in shades of pink, almost making it resemble some sort of organ. This is in contrast to the [[Film/TheBlob1958 original Blob]], which was bright red.
111	* ''Film/Carrie1976'' / ''Film/Carrie2013'': Carrie's prom dress (which gets drenched with blood and which she wears throughout her school massacre) is a very gentle, feminine pink. This marks a deliberate departure from the book, where Carrie's prom dress is red.
112	* ''Film/ColorOutOfSpace2020'': Chose to depict the titular [[BrownNoteBeing anomalous, reality-corrupting threat]] as a vivid, unnerving magenta, as it would be otherwise impossible to visually depict [[FictionalColour the fictional, spectrum-breaking color]] it was made of in [[Literature/TheColourOutOfSpace the original Lovecraft short story]]. There actually is [[TruthInTelevision a fun scientific basis]] for why magenta in particular was chosen: ''pink technically doesn't exist in the color spectrum'' -- it's a strictly mental interpretation of the human eye observing specific combinations of red and blue together, and thus can symbolically act as shorthand for [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm an entity that neither characters nor audiences should be able to properly comprehend]].
113	* ''Film/GhostbustersII'': [[TheCorruption Pink mood slime]] increases negative emotions, though it can ''also'' be positively charged.
114	* ''Film/{{Glorious}}'': Ghatanothoa's powers manifest as a radiant magenta, similar to ''Film/ColorOutOfSpace2020''. While he is AffablyEvil, he is still a force of pure destruction [[spoiler:who messily devours a man who interrupts his ritual.]]
115	* ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'': Even more explicitly than the [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix book]], Dolores Umbridge's nearly all-pink wardrobe belies her sadistic nature and insatiable desire for power and control.
116	* ''Film/TheLovedOnes'': Pink is Lola's favorite color. Her bedroom, makeup, jewelry, nails, shoes, posters, and underwear are pink, and she changes out of more subtle pink T-shirt in favor of a bright pink prom dress and a pink party hat for her "private party" with the (kidnapped) Bret as she tortures him. Her father also matches her by wearing a light pink tie to [[IncestSubtext help him resemble her date.]]
117	* ''Film/MeanGirls'': The Plastics have a dress code where they wear pink on Wednesdays, but the manipulative AlphaBitch Regina George takes the cherry on top, at least how the equally manipulative Janis sees her. By the time Cady dethrones Regina, she stops wearing pink as those clothes won't fit her and gets kicked out by the Plastics, while Cady accumulates pink skimpy clothes on her wardrobe as she becomes bitchier. And after Regina reforms, she gets pink accents on her neutral-colored clothes.
118	* ''Film/ReservoirDogs'': Mr. Pink is one of the members of the bank heist and he's a violent, cowardly racist.
119	[[/folder]]
120
121	[[folder:Literature]]
122	* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': Dolores Umbridge not only wears pink but has her office's walls colored pink and lined with cute kitten-themed decorations upon becoming Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix Order of the Phoenix]]''. She's also a thoroughly corrupt SadistTeacher who delights in inflicting cruel punishments upon students and generally abusing her power.
123	* ''Literature/{{It}}'': Henry Bowers is the bully who torments The Losers Club who uses a switchblade as one of his weapons. In the novel, Henry is said to wear a pink motorcycle jacket and he once beat up a kid for laughing at him for wearing it.
124	* ''Literature/JohnnyTheWalrus'': The MadDoctor intending to [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor "grant" Johnny's wish]] by mutilating him into an actual walrus has neon pink hair.
125	* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', the official colors of [[TokenEvilTeammate House Bolton]] are red and pink. They're best known for flaying people alive and [[spoiler:betraying their king and allies to gain control of the North]].
126	* ''Literature/ToyAcademy'': Bootleg is notable for his hot pink color scheme. [[spoiler:He turns out to be EvilAllAlong, and the BigBad of Book 1]]. His pink color turns out to be important to the plot: After [[spoiler:stealing Commander Hedgehog's arms]], he painted them pink to look like his own. Grumbolt figures this out when he realizes that he has pink paint on his paw. [[spoiler:Bootleg shook hands with him before his paint dried]].
127	[[/folder]]
128
129	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
130	* ''Series/Batman1966'': The show's incarnation of ComicBook/TheJoker wears a magenta suit instead of his trademark medium-purple one. While portrayed in a lighter and goofier way than usual, he is nonetheless a crazed clown who constantly torments Gotham City with his outlandish schemes.
131	* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The sadistic Helen A in "The Happiness Patrol" has hot pink highlights in her hair.
132	* In ''Series/KamenRiderZeroOne'', Jin is a PsychopathicManchild whose Rider form happens to have pink armor. Notably, he matures into more of an AntiVillain midway through the show, and when he loses the Psycho traits he loses the Pink as well; switching to red armor.
133	* ''Series/KillingEve'': Villanelle's first IconicOutfit is a puffy pink ballgown made by Molly Goddard that she wears to a psychiatrist's appointment while she's convincing the Twelve that she's still psychotic enough to kill anyone they want. It gets a CallBack in Season 2 when she wears a pink tutu and a pig mask to string up and kill an adulterous husband in Amsterdam.
134	* ''Series/ScreamQueens2015'''s season 1 marketing had the Chanels decked in hyperfeminine pink outfits [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sq.png while wielding weapons]] or having bloodied hands. The plot is about some SinisterSororitySisters dealing with a SerialKiller.
135	* ''Series/SquidGame'': The guards of the DeadlyGame all wear hot pink hazmat suits, which doesn't make them any less intimidating when they heartlessly gun down eliminated players and dispose them into coffins, alive or not, for incineration. Also, the coffins they used are wrapped with a pink ribbon as some sick joke.
136	* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'':
137	** ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''/''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger'': Psycho Pink/Nezi Pink are {{The Psycho Ranger\|s}} counterparts to the good Pink Rangers, and they are determined to get rid of them no matter what. While this is the same as the Psycho Rangers of other colors, ''Power Rangers'' had Psycho Pink [[spoiler:actually succeed in [[HeroKiller killing a Pink Ranger]] (if indirectly) during her appearance in ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy''.]]
138	** ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers'' features the franchise's first male Pink Ranger, a RidiculouslyAverageGuy and devoted husband... but it becomes clear over the course of the show that he is not mentally well. He wraps up his entire self-worth in his marriage, and becomes violently ruthless any time that he thinks there's even a ''possibility'' that it could be threatened. He has more than once ''become the MonsterOfTheWeek'' in his wrath.
139	* ''Series/{{Ziwe}}'' has a cutesy, all-pink aesthetic spanning from the show's logo to its set to most of the titular host's outfits, but is a decidedly non-cutesy show in which said host inflicts emotional distress on her guests by (jokingly) attempting to frame them as bigots.
140	[[/folder]]
141
142	[[folder:Music]]
143	* Ironically inverted with the singer Music/{{Pink}}. In her earlier music videos, when her hair was usually pink, she was depicted as a hard-partying but fun girl. After she went blonde, she's shown as a more violent character (especially in the videos for "Trouble" and "Try").
144	[[/folder]]
145
146	[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
147	* The Hart family, famed for their TrainingFromHell and also being extremely good technical wrestlers, have black and pink as their signature colours. A Hart family member will usually have the Sharpshooter as a finisher -- a submission that allows them to put an opponent's back under such strain.
148	* Wrestling/AJLee after her FaceHeelTurn to become a deranged, manipulative "crazy chick" would often have a mixture of pink and black on her gear. Given her NotLikeOtherGirls persona, the use of pink in her entrance graphics evoked this rather than femininity.
149	* Wrestling/AlexaBliss similarly was a cutesy face coded with [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple]] and [[TrueBlueFemininity blue]]. When she first turned heel to become a more ruthless character, eventually dubbing herself "Five Feet of Fury", her costume of choice was a pink two-piece with claw marks on it.
150	* Wrestling/LivMorgan was called up to TV in 2017 to switch from her PluckyGirl {{Joisey}} face character to a maniacal heel who relied on sneak attacks and appeared to be quite deranged. Her hair was eventually dyed pink, and lots of her gear would have pink on it.
151	* Wrestling/SashaBanks's initial heel turn just saw her becoming a BetaBitch first to Summer Rae and then Charlotte Flair, when her hair was brown. Upon striking out on her own to become a far more ruthless, psychotic character, her hair was changed to pink. The pink became more pronounced the further she climbed up the ladder, being at its brightest when she won the NXT Women's Championship. Although she had a HeelFaceTurn shortly after, she was GoodIsNotNice, and kept the pink hair.
152	[[/folder]]
153
154	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
155	* In the original ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' (as well as ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' and ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar''), Slaanesh is associated with pinks and purples and just so happens to be the most hedonistic of the Chaos Gods. Their mark is also bright pinkish-purple.
156	** Fellow Dark God Tzeentch also sports hot pink as a secondary color (prominently in the form of Pink Horrors), and they're a MadGod associated with [[MadOracle fortune-telling]] and [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow eldritch knowledge]].
157	* In ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', the "[[IronicName Emperor's Children]]" Chaos Space Marine chapter features a pink color scheme, and even other Chaos Marines consider that chapter excessive in its depravity.
158	[[/folder]]
159

162	* In the ''VideoGame/ApeEscape'' series, the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple only female]] of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Freaky Monkey Five]] is Pink Monkey, a pop singer. While she's normally annoyingly sweet and perky, making her angry (and it's easy to anger her) unleashes Pink's SuperpoweredEvilSide, who's a terrifying {{Tsundere}}. She's probably the scariest and most dangerous of the group, and that's saying something.
163	* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue''
164	** Professor Kokonoe is a pink-haired CatGirl and MadScientist. It's downplayed however since Kokonoe is ultimately a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and unambiguously heroic (well, at least when compared to the likes of Terumi and Relius).
165	** Kokonoe's mother Nine has pink hair, and is a vengeful BrokenBird who's willing to even cause [[spoiler:TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt and remake it into one where she and her sister can be happy]].
166	* ''VideoGame/BugFables'': Monsieur Scarlet is a pink ant that [[CreepyCrossdresser wears women's clothes]], and he is a ruthless criminal who lures the exploration teams into his hideout with [[WoundedGazelleGambit false help requests]] before revealing himself to [[VampiricDraining drain their lifeforce to the husk]].

171	* ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}''
172	** Demons (AKA Pinkies), [[OurDemonsAreDifferent big muscular monstrosities]] that run fast at [[PlayerCharacter Doomguy]] to bite him with their gaping maws, and as their ([[AscendedFanon ascended]]) FanNickname implies, they're very pink. In the original game, they're not easy or quick to put down with basic gear thanks to their 150 HitPoints, groups can quickly soak up the player's ammo, and their running speed can easily trick Doomguy into eating the SplashDamage of his own rockets. In later games they gain a [[FoeTossingCharge battering ram attack]] where they charge in a straight line, and god help whatever's in front of them.
173	** Barons of Hell, satyr-like humanoids with bright pink upper torsos, are the toughest non-boss demon in the classic games, at 1000 HitPoints, and behave like roided Imps with higher stats and faster projectiles. They show up as mini-bosses at the end of ''Doom'''s first episode, and occasionally in later levels and the sequels as durable shocktroopers.
174	* ''Videogame/DragonBallFighterZ'': [[Characters/DragonBallAndroid21 Android 21]] is an ArtificialHuman created partially with genetic information from [[Characters/DragonBallMajinBuu Majin Buu]]. As such, she has the same pink skin that Buu does, and the two even comment on their similar appearance. [[spoiler:However, due to a flaw in her design, she is also afflicted with a HorrorHunger that makes her see everyone else as food. Trying to fight this hunger drove her temporarily insane until she split her "evil" and "good" sides apart, but she reveals at the end of the game that [[WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere the hunger hasn't vanished]] and it'll only be a matter of time before it drives her insane again. Thus, she [[DrivenToSuicide kills herself]] to prevent that from happening.]]
175	* ''VideoGame/FableII'': Features Valiant Avenger Pink Dye for clothing and hair, described as, "A dark, imposing pink. Although not as threatening as brighter pinks, it’s still deeply disturbing to those who know the colour’s brutal history." Fable II also features Insatiable Butcher Pink Dye and Apocalyptic Pink Dye.
176	* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': [[Myth/CelticMythology Medb]] looks like a petite RoseHairedSweetie dressed all in white, with a cute smile, angelic face, and bubbly attitude...

She took the heroic Cú Chulainn and fused him with a monster to make a dragon-like FallenHero that could fulfill her thirst for conquest and [[YouSexyBeast libido]], is proud to call herself a bitch, and orders the Celtic warriors to conquer America for the sake of ''her'' glory. Out of the Singularity, she's an AbhorrentAdmirer towards said version of Cú Chulainn regardless of him stating repeatedly that he's disinterested. To top it all off, she says that she qualifies for the Rider Class by her ability to ride men, and her [[SignatureMove Noble Phantasm]] is literally closed curtains and way too many hearts, and does special damage against male enemies. All in a pink background.
177	* ''VideoGame/GartenOfBanban'': Opila Bird, a bright pink clay bird with Flamingo and Ostrich DNA. Given how animalistic they are, they come off as a lot less evil than most of the kindergarten's residents, but will still charge down the protagonist should she encounter them.

179	* ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'' takes place on Vertumna, an alien planet where the predominant colours are pink and purple. [[spoiler:Possibly because it's the garden planet of an alien race, who are '''very''' hostile to humanity.]] Native fauna include the manticore, a predator which stands as tall as a horse and consists almost entirely of pink spikes. Plasrifle blasts barely leave a mark on it.
180	* ''VideoGame/JustShapesAndBeats'' has it where the color pink effectively acts as TheCorruption, being some sort of MadeOfEvil essence that turns anything originally made of non-pink colors violently hostile towards un-corrupted life. Best exemplified by The Boss, the BigBad that is the source the corruption, since it's naturally pink and is a major GenericDoomsdayVillain with no notable motive besides corrupting everything it can and killing what it can't.
181	* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'':
182	** Galacta Knight, the time-travelling "[[WorldsStrongestMan Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy]]", has a decent amount of pink to his design, chiefly his pink body and glowing pink eyes, and was [[SealedBadassInACan sealed away]] aeons ago for fear of his insane level of power... emphasis on ''[[AxCrazy insane]]'', because his standard response to being awakened is to attack everything in sight! [[spoiler:Just ask [[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot Star Dream]] and [[VideoGame/SuperKirbyClash Parallel Nightmare]]]].
183	** In ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', [[spoiler:the inner core of the FinalBoss, Void Termina, takes the form of a pink sphere of [[MadeOfEvil evil energy]] that bears an uncanny resemblance to both [[TheHeartless Dark Matter]] and [[TomatoInTheMirror Kirby himself]]]].

188	* [[RubberForeheadAliens Gandrayda]] from ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption'' is pink and turns evil once she gets infected with [[TheCorruption Phazon]] (though it's implied she was jealous of Samus and [[TheStarscream wanted to replace her]] before that happened).
189	* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'': Mileena is Kitana's [[EvilKnockoff evil clone]] created by Shao Kahn for the purpose of replacing Kitana should she learn the truth that Kahn is not her true father. Mileena often wears purple or pink as opposed to Kitana who wears [[BlueIsHeroic blue]].

193	* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': Pink Wisps grant Sonic the Pink Spikes power, which turns him into a burning hot spikeball that can barrel through enemies. Although the Pink Wisps themselves are not evil, they do have an angry look, and the instruction manual for ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' describes them as "somewhat harsh, but they are in fact very kind by nature."
194	* ''VideoGame/StarcraftII'': Matt Horner's pink-haired mercenary ex-wife Mira Han is introduced as willing to betray her current employer Colonel Orlan to Matt if he matches Orlan's price, and keeps Orlan prisoner for him and Raynor. She returns in the second game as an antagonist, since they need Orlan to find out where the kidnapped Raynor is being kept, [[TheKeyIsBehindTheLock but she refuses to give him up without Raynor's say-so...]]
195	* Juri Han, the psycho UsefulNotes/{{Taekwondo}} girl from ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' and one of the new antagonists of the later games has pink as one of her main colors, along with {{purple\|IsPowerful}} and [[EvilWearsBlack black]].
196	* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
197	** Two of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Koopaling siblings]], Wendy O. Koopa and Roy Koopa, have primarily pink colour schemes. Apart from serving [[BigBad Bowser]] and antagonising the Mario Bros., the two are quite ill-tempered and often getting into fights with each other. Wendy in particular is often depicted as greedy and irritatable, while Roy is a muscle-bound bully.
198	** When [[EvilCounterpart Wario]] was first introduced in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand2SixGoldenCoins'', the artwork at the time portrayed him with pinkish overalls, and he was a greedy villain who took over Mario's castle and hypnotized the inhabitants of Mario Land.

202	* ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'': Wonder-Pink is a downplayed example. She does have a big heart, likes kids, and is one of the good guys, but she also has a ''serious'' HairTriggerTemper and often threatens violence when she gets displeased with her teammates.

211	* ''WebAnimation/MetaRunner'': Evelyn Claythorne sports a prominent pink hairdo and skirt, and her [=TASCorp=] quarters are absolutely ''slathered'' in pink. And she’s a massive PsychopathicWomanchild of a Meta Runner, who’s willing to screw over Tari just so that she can have all the glory. [[spoiler:And she seems to have no qualms in joining up with the MadScientist that just murdered her boss if it means gaining an edge over Tari]].
212	* In ''WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated'', two of the three main antagonists have pink color motifs.
213	** Lewis, the first antagonist, is a bright pink ghost who violently seeks retribution on the man who killed him, and would stop at nothing to get his way. His flames are also very powerful, nearly blowing up a house and physically potent enough to conjure realistic and dangerous illusions.
214	** The other antagonist, Shiromori, wears pink clothes and lipstick, and she's an AxCrazy yokai who plans on killing Mystery for his magic blood. This is best showcased in "Hellbent" and "The Future", where she psychotically breaks open the Mystery Skulls truck just for a chance at a drop of Mystery's blood and becomes violently jealous when she realizes that he's moved on from her for his new owner Vivi.

233	** Berry from the approptiately named episode "Berry Scary" is a pink imaginary friend with an unhealthy crush on Bloo and a great dislike for Mac due to being the best friend of his crush. While the worst thing she did in her debut episode was manipulating Bloo into ending his friendship with Mac, she commits more vile crimes in her second appearance: keeping a rich family hostage in their own mansion while stealing their property and impersonating a guy named Barry, all of this just to steal Bloo from Mac (whom she attempts to ''murder'' this time).
234	** Nemesister from the episode ''Challenge of the Super Friends'' is a more toned-down example but still very much has this trope as her aesthetic (though mixed with a fair amount of black as well).

235	* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueCrisisOnTwoEarths'': Model Citizen is an evil version of the DC hero Looker from the Crime Syndicate's Earth. She wears a pink costume and has mind control powers which she tries to use on the Flash. Fortunately for him, Wonder Woman knocks her out.

239	** Pinkie Pie. The cute, bubbly horse who always loves a party, she quickly [[CuteAndPsycho gets nasty]] when somepony ditches her planned parties, or when somepony [[BerserkButton breaks a Pinkie Promise]].

241	** Fluttershy.

248	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
249	** Patrick can sometime slip into this on his worst days, especially when he gets angry.
250	** The episode "Sandy, [=SpongeBob=], and the Worm" has [=SpongeBob=] describing the dreaded Alaskan Bull Worm as '''BIG''', '''SCARY''', and '''''PINK'''''!!! (though [[spoiler:it's actually white; only its tongue is pink.]])

267	* Old paintings will usually have white lead on them, which is toxic. In some paintings, pinks painted for skin are sometimes mixed using the aforementioned white lead and cinnabar red, which is also toxic. Given the pilgrims and devotees in the Middle Ages would kiss the statues and paintings, they would have ended up with lead and/or mercury poisoning in the process.
