Dots with a Fish

A circle is filled with many small dots in red, green, brown, and gray. Some dots make a fish shape that is easier to see when red and green look clearly different.

In the picture

  1. A red dot near the top edge of the circle.
  2. A green dot near the left edge of the circle.
  3. An olive-green dot along the fish’s back.
  4. The gray dot at the fish’s eye.

Examples

  • A traffic light uses red and green lights.
  • Two crayons can look almost the same to some people.
