A patch of yellow against the clear blue sky, the plane looked like a stray bird that had lost its way.

'This patch of dirt and rock looks like every other one.'

Not a patch on Miss Helen to look at, most of 'em weren't.

For many in the industry, those patches look miserable indeed.

Even that patch of carefully clipped grass looked venerable; certainly I never saw anyone step on it.

The patch should have looked ridiculous, but like the colors in the room, it simply suited.

If the pixel is in a region of uniform intensity, then the nearby patches will look similar.
