How should you color this page?

Begin by choosing your medium—colored pencils, markers, or gel pens work wonderfully. Start with the larger backgrounds (sky, sea, ice) and gradually move to the finer details (animals, aurora details, snow textures). For a truly authentic polar feel, consider using this suggested color palette:

• Glacial Blue: #A6D1E6 (For iceberg highlights and sky tints)
• Deep Ocean: #0F4C75 (For the cold, shadowy sea)
• Arctic White: #F5F7FA (For snow highlights and pure ice)
• Aurora Violet: #B19CD9 (For accents in the northern lights)
• Midnight Sky: #1B262C (For the deep night sky)
• Polar Bear Shadow: #E3F4F4 (For soft shadows on white fur)

What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Layering for Ice: Use light layers of blue and grey over white to create the translucent, textured look of glacial ice.
• Creating Depth: Use darker shades of blue and purple for areas of sea and sky in the distance, and lighter shades for elements closer to the viewer.
• Aurora Effect: Color the aurora lights with soft, sweeping strokes. Blend gently where colors meet to create a magical, glowing effect.
• Animal Details: Use very light greys or blues to suggest the soft fur of the polar bear and the shading on the penguins, keeping their main bodies white and black.
• Sky & Sea: Consider using a blending technique for the sky, gradually darkening it from the horizon upward to mimic the polar night.
