Saruman the white has already been mentioned as has Sauron the Fair.
There is a reminiscence from Tolkien's childhood regarding 'green great dragon' as opposed to the more proper 'great green dragon'. I suppose dragons, being a lifelong favorite of Tolkien, are exempt and come in a plethora of colors. And again, Saruman was no longer 'white' or 'fair' as portrayed in LotR; he lost that designation to Gandalf. Bard's arrow? Yes, it was black, so was Turin's sword. That's not really part of the point I was trying to convey. *shrugs*

It would not take much sewing on Arwen's part to make a deviceless black banner. Yes, please do check.
