Sample Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <head>
  <title>Diagonal, White to Black circles</title>
  </head>
 <body>
  <canvas id="myCanvas" width="1500" height="800">
  <p>Update your browser!</p>
  </canvas>
  </body> 
  </html>

JavaScript Code:

function draw()
  {
  var ctx = document.getElementById("myCanvas").getContext("2d");
  var counter = 0;
  for (var i=0;i<6;i++)
  {
  for (var j=0;j<6;j++)
  {
  //Start from white and goes to black
  ctx.fillStyle = "rgb(" + Math.floor(255-42.5*i) + "," + Math.floor(255-42.5*i) +
  "," + Math.floor(255-42.5*j) + ")";
ctx.beginPath();
  if (i === counter && j === counter)
  {
  //creates the circles
  ctx.arc(25+j*50,30+i*50,20,0,Math.PI*2,true);
  ctx.fill();
  //creates a border around the circles so white one will be vissible

  ctx.stroke();
  } 
  }
  counter++;
  }
  }
  draw();
