The clavicle, collarbone, or keybone is a slender, S-shaped long bone approximately 6 inches (15 cm) long [1] that serves as a strut between the shoulder blade and the sternum (breastbone).

Using the first color set, alternating columns of green and black pixels are not distinct and appear as a muddy green color. However, switching to a white and black color set, instead of a muddy gray as expected, the result is either orange or blue. Reversing the order of the alternating dots will give the opposite color.
Dyes of vegetable origin made ruffs pink, light purple, yellow, [6] or green. [7] Light purple could also be achieved using cochineal.
