She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
But if you let her get under your skin

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

A side note about comic book colorists use of color.

Sean Howe's ( Marvel Comics: The Untold Story) noted how long time Marvel colorist Stan Goldberg made his color choices when he was working on the Fantastic Four

And although they remained unmasked (in another break from comic-book convention, they were going to keep their identities public), at the urging of letter-writing fans they soon had snappy blue uniforms. “Jack gave them this long underwear with the letter ‘4’ on their chest,” said Stan Goldberg, who designed the color schemes of the Marvel comics. “I made the ‘4’ blue and kept a little area around it white, and then when the villains came in—the villains get the burnt umbers, dark greens, purples, grays, things like that—they can bounce off it.” The blast of colorful heroics against a murky background world immediately set Fantastic Four apart from everything else on the newsstand.

So basically, the heroes tend to be costumed in the primary colors and contrasted with the villains being costumed in secondary colors. Of course, you will find exceptions but it's interesting to see how often that seems to be the case.

Stan Goldberg passed away in 2014. He was 82 years old.
