Start with the seven moon phases at the top, working left to right and adjusting the lit area for each one. Then color the large central moon and its craters. Finish with the open book and wooden stand at the bottom. Tap any color below to copy its HEX code.

Additional Coloring Tips

1Moon phase row

Color the lit portion of each phase in silver-white and the shadowed portion in darker gray. Leave a slight curved boundary between them rather than a hard edge.

2Central moon craters

Color each large oval slightly darker than the moon body, then add a thin lighter rim at the upper edge of each crater to suggest the lit crater wall.

3Book stand

The overlapping wooden sections look best with a lighter brown on top-facing surfaces and a darker tone on the undersides to suggest simple depth.
