The vertices are colored according to their position (-1,1 corresponds to RGB 0,255), and the faces filled in. Note that exactly the same technique can be used to color any solid, though typically extreme positions such as 1 0 0 (i.e. RGB 255 0 0) will not be found.

The J code to produce the graphic follows. vtx is a list of the solid's faces. colorit steps through each face, applying the glVertex and glcolor verbs, to define it as a vertex and as a color.

The same code with cube replaced by icosahedron gives:
