A wrong bishop in the situation of king, bishop, and rook pawn versus king

In a chess endgame, a wrong bishop is a bishop that would have been better placed on the opposite square color.[1] This most commonly occurs with a bishop and one of its rook pawns, but it also occurs with a rook versus a bishop, a rook and one rook pawn versus a bishop, and possibly with a rook and one bishop pawn versus a bishop.
