How to color Pygmy Hippo (with suggested palette)
Colors that work well together — tap any swatch to copy its hex.
Start with the hippo's large round body first, then fill in the ears, face, and legs. Save the eyes, nostrils, and small toe details for last once the big areas are dry. Add the leaf and ground patch at the end to finish the scene. Tap any color below to copy its HEX code.
Additional Coloring Tips
1Body and belly
Color the full body in slate gray first, then add a lighter pass on the belly for a softer, rounder look.
2Toes
Use the same gray as the legs on the toes, pressing lighter so each foot reads clearly without extra colors.
3Leaf
Blend grass green into leaf green from the tip inward to give the leaf depth next to the large gray body.
