Instead of the English alphabet, the 28 letters of Arabic alphabet are scattered around. We decided to go with a coloring scheme that uses different shades of one color (for the most part) rather than many different colors.
The red and yellow is primarily reserved for the dots. However, it has also been used on small bits of the glyphs as well, with an eye towards matching color of dot with the letter it belongs to. So, if a dot is yellow, then the nearest small portion of the letter which owns that dot has also been colored yellow. This is complicated by the fact that we have imposed a proper region coloring (a map coloring, i.e. two regions sharing boundaries should receive different colors). And so thus whenever a dot is broken by crossing lines, the dot has mix of yellow and red. In that case, we have tried to put the yellow (red) piece facing a yellow (red) piece of the letter owning that dot.
