Absorbent article having a multilayer visual signal

An absorbent article having a body facing surface, a garment facing surface opposing said body facing surface, a centroid, a longitudinal centerline, and a transverse centerline orthogonal to said longitudinal centerline and intersecting said longitudinal centerline at said centroid, said absorbent article comprising:

• a background region;
• a first layer comprising a first imparted colored region, said first imparted colored region coincident with said longitudinal centerline, said first imparted colored region comprising only a portion of the first layer;
• and
• a second layer in facing relationship with said first layer, said second layer comprising a second imparted colored region, said second imparted colored region being laterally more extensive in a direction orthogonally away from said longitudinal centerline than said first imparted colored region, said second imparted colored region having free ends, said second imparted colored region extending across said longitudinal centerline and continuous between said free ends, said second imparted colored region comprising only a portion of the second layer;
• wherein said first imparted colored region and said second imparted colored region differ in color from said background region;
• wherein said background region, said first imparted colored region, and said second imparted colored region are viewable from said body facing surface.
