Koloboks are existing in two versions for a light and for a dark backgrounds. Their difference is that kolobok for a dark background has been made with clear contours and due to it kolobok's contour looks "uneven" on the light background , but looks good on the dark. Kolobok for a light background has been made with a mix of contours of images and looks smooth on the light background, but looks with white aureole on the dark.
