For a two color/duo paper, knowing which side is up to begin with, can be helpful to end up, with a red cardinal, with a black breast rather than the other way around. Yes, it should become obvious after a step or two. Some folds get 'turned inside out', as in the kusudama unit. Perhaps the circle could be lightly grey and dark grey and the finished fold so shaded. Words work, only if you can read the language.
Agreed w/all folks on having a "what side up to start" indication. The circle is a very compact symbol, but I'm wondering if a clearer symbol might be a square, rotated about 30 degrees with one corner curled up to show the other side as if one is peeking under the paper? The largest part of the depicted square would be in the "face up color" and the small curled corner would be in the "face down color". This would be more work to create and probably bigger, so I'm not sure myself if the benefit of clarity is enough greater to outweigh the extra hassle in creating it... -=D'gou
