We also show that the bound $2k-1$ is best possible. This improves the best previously known lower and upper bounds of $\\frac{4}{3}k$ and $4k-1$ respectively. We also show that every finite set of half-planes can be $k$ colored so that if a point $p$ belongs to a subset $H_p$ of at least $3k-2$ of the half-planes then $H_p$ contains a half-plane from every color class.
