Abstract
We prove that for every there is a finite point set in the plane such that no matter how is three-colored, there is always a disk containing exactly points, all of the same color. This improves a result of Pach, Tardos and T\'oth who proved the same for two colors. The main ingredient of the construction is a subconstruction whose points are in convex position. Namely, we show that for every there is a finite point set in the plane in convex position such that no matter how is two-colored, there is always a disk containing exactly points, all of the same color. We also prove that for unit disks no similar construction can work, and several other results.
