Articles with raised-portions and recessed-portions, like tires, soles-of-footwear, floormats, vehicle-liners, and coasters, have at least some of the raised-portions be a color and have at least some of the recessed-portions be a different color. This coloring difference enhances visibility of the given article. For tires this may be done by fitting a colored tire-band within a groove of a tire; by fitting a colored sleeve over at least a portion of a tire; or by a machine operating upon an initially untreaded tire to form a treaded tire. For soles-of-footwear, floormats, vehicle-liners, and coasters, this may be done by a machine operating upon an initial article without recessed-portions to form those recessed-portions or upon an initial article without raised-portions to form those raised-portions. The machines may be CNC or 3D printing machines. Light-emitting-element(s) may also be added to bottoms of the recessed-portions.
