How to color Mermaid Playing with an Octopus (with suggested palette)
Colors that work well together — tap any swatch to copy its hex.
Do the octopus first, head then arms, working outward along each curl so you finish one arm before starting the next. Then move to the mermaid, filling her tail before her hair and face, and add the three bubbles last. Tap any color below to copy its HEX code.
Additional Coloring Tips
1Octopus arms
Darken the inside of each curl so the arms look like they are twisting rather than lying flat.
2Tail scales
Lay rose pink over the whole tail first, then deepen the lower edge of each scale row.
3Octopus head
Leave a pale patch at the top of the round head so it catches light instead of going solid.
