How to color Hippo Pod in the River (with suggested palette)
Colors that work well together — tap any swatch to copy its hex.
Start with the large foreground hippo since it's the focal point, then work back to the two adults and the calf behind it. Vary the gray tones slightly between animals so each one stands apart from the others. Finish with the reeds, rocks, and water ripples. Tap any color below to copy its HEX code.
Additional Coloring Tips
1Foreground hippo
Give the closest hippo the darkest shading so it visually sits in front of the other three.
2Ripples
Color ripple rings a light river blue around each hippo's legs so the water looks disturbed by their weight.
3Reeds
Use a fine-tip marker for the thin reed stalks so they stay crisp against the open water.
