The colors of these two characters are what defines them and sets them apart.  Frozone, the character on the left, has the super power of controlling ice.  Ice is cold and so are both blue and white.  the blue is vivid against the white and gives him that chilly feel.  The white is very desaturated, but the saturated hue of the blue makes Frozone pop.  He is a good character and therefore has bright colors.  Syndrome, the character on the right, is the villain of the movie and therefore black is appropriate.  Also, he is very skilled with mechanics and the black gives a greasy "worker" vibe.  The white on his chest gives him some life, but the very dark hue of the black is what makes this character so sinister.

Light is used to show that Frozone is good and Syndrome is bad.  Frozone is bright and well lit, giving him a happy and comfortable feel.  Syndrome is dark and sinisterly lit with shadows.  The shadows are so important in adding depth to the characters.  Frozone's lack of shadows implies that he is not hiding anything, while Syndrome's shadow covers half his face making people be wary of him.  The Symbols of the blue representing ice and the black representing evil give each character a specific mood that they convey.  Frozone conveys a cool and happy mood where as Syndrome gives and uneasy mood to the audience.
