How to color Mermaid Resting in a Clamshell (with suggested palette)
Colors that work well together — tap any swatch to copy its hex.
Begin with the big shell fan behind her, ridge by ridge, then fill the lower shell she rests in. Move to her hair, skin, and shell top, and leave the scaled tail and striped fin until last so your hand is steady for the fine rows. Tap any color below to copy its HEX code.
Additional Coloring Tips
1Shell ridges
Start cream at the center and deepen toward rose at the outer ridges for a soft fanned gradient.
2Tail scales
Work row by row from the waist down, shading each scale heavier at its lower curve.
3Striped fin
Alternate pale aqua and white down the fin stripes so the long lines stay separate and crisp.
