Suppose the following graph shows the demand for, and supply of, apartments in New York City. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium monthly rent and quantity of apartments in the absence of price controls. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to fill the area representing consumers' surplus, and use the purple point (diamond symbol) to fill the area representing producers' surplus.
