How to color Leatherback Sea Turtle (with suggested palette)
Colors that work well together — tap any swatch to copy its hex.
Start with the shell, laying one base color across the whole thing before picking out individual scales in slightly different shades. Do the flippers next, then the head. Save the water, bubbles, and fish for the end so the background sits behind the turtle. Tap any color below to copy its HEX code.
Additional Coloring Tips
1Shell ridges
Run a darker line down each of the long ridges so the shell reads as ribbed rather than flat.
2Scale mosaic
Pick three close shades and rotate between them across the scales instead of coloring every one the same.
3Motion lines
Leave the curved lines in the water uncolored so they still read as movement against the aqua.
