The first fluid agent, comprising a first color, is to be dispensed at first selectable voxel locations to affect a first material property of a first portion of the 3D object. The second fluid agent, comprising a second color, is to be dispensed at second selectable voxel locations to at least partially disguise the first color of the first portion of the 3D object.
