In communications class (Com 101, not public speaking) years ago, we were taught that red/black is typically used to depict evil or bad while blue/white is typically used for the good guys. Another common visual was good guys always come from the left and bad guys come from the right. It is weird that these little tropes are still used today. I always notice when good guys "attack" from the right in a scene and think it feels off!

For the record I can think of way too many examples that don't stay true to this standard, but if you have never heard this before it is certainly something you will notice going forward.
