These 17 pages are less about one subject than one visual mood: clean portraits, cats, simple line art and denser illustrations that suit a restrained palette. If you want the finished page to feel cohesive, choose the colors before you start rather than deciding section by section.
Pick a palette before you color
Three to five colors are usually enough. Sage, cream and brown give a muted earthy look; dusty pink, lilac and blue feel softer; black, gray and one accent color create a sharper graphic result. Colored pencils are the easiest choice for the portrait and detailed cat pages, while crayons or broad markers suit the simpler designs.
Open the full-size image before printing and use A4 or Letter paper with “fit to page.” For lighter, simpler designs, continue with our easy cute coloring pages; for a broader mix, browse the main coloring collection.
