How to color Waxing Crescent Moon (with suggested palette)
Colors that work well together — tap any swatch to copy its hex.
Start with the larger shadowed portion of the circle, coloring it a deep, dark shade to show the unlit part of the moon. Then color the thin crescent sliver a light shade to show the illuminated edge, and finish with the label box. Tap any color below to copy its HEX code.
Additional Coloring Tips
1Crescent sliver
Keep the thin curved sliver light and bright so it stands out clearly against the dark shadowed side.
2Shadowed area
Color the larger dark section evenly and press firmly so the contrast with the crescent sliver stays strong.
3Label box
Leave the box light or white so any writing added later stays easy to read.
