Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to follow the spirit of the Chakerian-Klamkin's characterization of central symmetry to give characterizations of projective centers and hyperplanes of symmetry. We use them to give a new and unexpected characterization of ellipsoids. We also prove two geometric colored theorems in the spirit of Lovász-Bárány
