Another note, the plot has two zeros and one pole (or singularity). Stick it on the pole and it cancels but stick it on the other zero and notice the colours encircling it. It goes from RGB to RGBRGB as you've increased the order of the zero to say (x-1)^2, a sort of period halving.
If you remember that exp(i w t) = sin wt + i cos wt, then (exp(i w t))^2 = sin 2wt + i cos 2wt, a sort of frequency doubling
