How does the color of the dorsal and ventral sides of a fish provide protection?

The dorsal blend in with the water, and the ventral blends in with the bottom surface. So they can tell if its dangerous if it is brightly colored. ( bright red frog= poisonous and non-tasty frog) :D - < I'm not sure if this right...I just guess..>
P.S.
This is exactly the same question on my science worksheet!

Whats the colour difference between frogs ventral and dorsal side?
It helps them camouflage itself from predators. Although the answer above is true, here is a more informative answer. The bottom of the frog is a lighter color then the top. This is because if the frog is floating on top of the water, and prey or a predator looks up and the frog, the suns glare makes the frog harder to see. Also, there are darker splotches on the bottom so it doesn't show the silhouette for the frog. the top of the frog is darker because when swimming at the bottom of a murky lake, it blends in with the bottom.

Why there are coloration differences in the ventral and dorsal surfaces of the forearm and hand?
There is frequently different coloration between the ventral and dorsal surfaces of many parts of the body. Coloration differences may be due to the different degree of sunlight protection that the two surfaces require. The dorsal surface is normally exposed to more sunlight... and damaging rays. It may also be a sort of communication tool as well, since exact posture and attitude is more visible with color or cast distinctions between the two surfaces.
