Digital example: Black compass rose with blue long points and gold diagonal points inside a black ring.

1. Blue — four long white halves
2. Gold — four diagonal white halves

Fill the white halves of the four longest points blue; preserve every black half.
Color the white halves of the four medium diagonal points gold; leave the tiny points and open circle white.

Check that four blue and four gold areas meet the original black shapes without covering their edges.
