* ''Franchise/StarWars'': The trope is zig-zagged. Luke wears white or very light beige in his first two films, in contrast to the jet-black Dark Vader. Leia wears a white dress. Han Solo wears a white shirt beneath a black jacket, showing that he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. In the prequel trilogy, Anakin and Amidala are frequently shown wearing white or other light colors. However, in ''Return of the Jedi'', our hero Luke wears a black outfit, both to signify that he's TookALevelInBadass and is also in danger of turning to the dark side. Also, the villainous {{mook}} stormtroopers are stark white.

* ''WesternAnimation/MinionsTheRiseOfGru'': Master Chow is a masseuse and a master of kung fu who wears a white shirt with [[BlueIsHeroic blue linings]]. She chooses to get involved by fighting off Wild Knuckles' henchmen to protect the Minions, and although she is a bit reluctant at first, she still agrees to help teach the Minions once she realizes why they want to learn kung fu: to protect their "mini-boss".

* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': [[TheHero Jack]] is always shown wearing a pure white robe with a grey trim, which shows his dedication to stopping [[BigBad Aku]].

** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'' is normally a PrimaryColorChampion but she has worn white on a few occasions. Namely, during the Dennis O'Neil era when she lost her powers, when she became the Goddess of Truth during John Byrne's run, when she became Goddess of Peace in a ''[[ComicBook/TheNew52FuturesEnd Future's End]]'' story and recently in ''ComicBook/DCInfiniteFrontier'' #0 when she became a goddess. Diana's rival turned friend ComicBook/{{Artemis}} has had a variety of outfits over the years. One of them is a white and green ensemble.

* ComicBook/{{Supreme}} wears a white and red costume. He started out as a SupermanSubstitute with none of his morality or humility. During Alan Moore's run, Supreme was reinvented as a Superman homage who acted more in line with his inspiration.

* ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'': [[TheHero Kazuma Kiryu]] wears white clothes and is shown to be a NiceGuy, [[GoodIsNotSoft so long as you don't do anything to make him angry.]]

** ComicBook/IronFist traded in his usual green outfit for a white one during the ComicBook/HeroicAge as a reflection of the brighter and more optimistic era of the Marvel universe.
