The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the first shade and the second shade are positioned substantially centrally in relation to the periphery of the absorbent article. 7. An absorbent article having an upper surface, a lower surface and a periphery, the absorbent article comprising: a topsheet having a bottom surface and a viewing surface positioned opposite to the bottom surface; a backsheet having a garment facing surface and a user facing surface positioned oppositely to the garment facing surface, the backsheet being joined to the topsheet; and an absorbent core having a top surface and a bottom surface positioned opposite to the top surface, the absorbent core being positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, the topsheet having a first layer, the first layer having a colored portion, the colored portion being viewable from the viewing surface of the topsheet, the colored portion having a first shade comprising a plurality of first printed marks, the colored portion having a second shade substantially surrounding the first shade, the second shade comprising a plurality of second printed marks, the second shade being different from the first shade, the second shade being substantially surrounded by a portion that is white and that extends to the periphery, wherein the colored portion further includes a third shade different from the first shade and the second shade, the third shade operating as a boundary between the two shades, the boundary substantially separating the second shade from the first shade. 8. The absorbent article of claim 7, wherein the first shade, second shade, and/or third shade are blue, green, violet, indigo, or white. 9. The absorbent article of claim 7, wherein the absorbent article is a sanitary napkin, pantiliner, or incontinence pad. 10. The absorbent article of claim 7, wherein the colored portion is positioned substantially centrally in relation to the periphery of the absorbent article. 11. The absorbent article of claim 7, wherein the colored portion is a substantially elongated shape. 12. The absorbent article of claim 7, wherein the first and second shades operate to create a perception of depth within the absorbent article by a user looking upon the viewing surface of the topsheet. 13. The absorbent article of claim 7, wherein the first shade is positioned substantially centrally with respect to the second shade. 14. An absorbent article having an upper surface, a lower surface, a length, a width, and a periphery, the absorbent article comprising: a topsheet having a bottom surface and a viewing surface positioned opposite to the bottom surface; a backsheet having a garment facing surface and a user facing surface positioned oppositely to the garment facing surface, the backsheet being joined to the topsheet; and an absorbent core having a top surface and a bottom surface positioned opposite to the top surface, the absorbent core being positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, the topsheet having a first layer, the first layer having a colored portion, the colored portion being viewable from the viewing surface of the topsheet, the colored portion having a first shade, the first shade comprising a plurality of first printed marks to form the first shade, the colored portion having a second shade substantially surrounding the first shade, the second shade comprising a plurality of second printed marks to form the second shade, the first shade being different from the second shade, the second shade being substantially surrounded by a portion that is white and that extends to the periphery, the colored portion being a substantially elongated shape having two ends, wherein at least one end of the shape is substantially curvilinear, the colored portion operating to create a perception of depth within the absorbent article by a user looking upon the viewing surface of the topsheet. 15. The absorbent article of claim 14, wherein the first shade and/or second shade are blue, green, violet, or indigo. 16. The absorbent article of claim 14, wherein the first printed marks form a first pattern, and the second printed marks form a second pattern. 17.
