Digital example: Butterfly with golden upper wings, lavender lower wings and strongly textured black veins and body.

1. Gold — upper wing fields
2. Lavender — rounded lower wings

Fill the upper wing fields gold, working carefully around black stripes.
Use lavender in both rounded lower wings without covering their fine black texture.

The dark body and wing bases remain sharp, with white flecks visible between the two colors.
