A Fairy Mermaid Riding the Waves

Wings and tail offer two different surfaces to color. Contrasting shades keep them from blending together.

Rainbow Unicorn Mermaid

Let the rainbow carry the bold colors and keep the character lighter. Its open shapes make it quick to finish.

Into the Hidden Underwater Cave

The rocky setting makes a dark frame around the character. Try brighter colors in the center to suggest hidden light.

Fairy Dust Above the Waves

The airborne pose leaves plenty of open space. Small sparkles can stay white against a gently colored sea.

Playing the Harp Among Ocean Ruins

Fine lines around the instrument reward a slower approach. Gold strings can stand out against cool blue stonework.

Crystal Grotto and Unicorn Mermaid

Angular shapes are perfect for alternating icy blue and lavender. The smaller crystal facets take a little patience.

A Fairy and Mermaid Meet on the Rocks

Mermaid coloring ideas

Mermaid pages are easy to change with color. Try green and teal tails for a natural ocean look, or use pink, purple, and yellow for a brighter fantasy style. Hair can be red, brown, black, blonde, blue, or rainbow.

For backgrounds, use light blue near bubbles, darker blue around caves, and sandy yellow near shells. Coral does not need to be one color. Mix orange, pink, red, and purple so the reef does not look flat.
