How to color Swallowtail Butterfly (with suggested palette)
Colors that work well together — tap any swatch to copy its hex.
Start with the body, eyes, and antennae, then fill in the large striped panels across the wings. Save the curved border cells and pointed tails for last, since those small shapes need the steadiest hand. Tap any color below to copy its HEX code.
Additional Coloring Tips
1Wing stripes
Color the yellow panels first, then trace the black stripes on top so they stay crisp and separate.
2Curved border cells
Alternate blue and orange in the small curved cells near the tails for the classic swallowtail look.
3Tails
Use a fine-tip marker to outline the thin, pointed tails so they don't blend into the wing edge.
