'A Penrose Tiling can look really different depending on how you colour it!

Idea 1: Identify different shapes ("upside down star", "star in a circle", "star with petals", etc.) and use a different colour for each.

Idea 2: It's possible to colour the tiling with only three colours without any two adjacent shapes having the same colour'.

Lovely info and resources from about Penrose Tiling. Create your own effects with a BW version of the official poster ✨
