Coloring ideas for Whale
Whales live in a world of deep blues and greens, so encourage kids to blend navy, cerulean, and teal for the ocean. For the whale itself, blue whales look stunning in slate blue with a pale cream belly, while orcas are classic black and white. Humpbacks can include surprising purple-grey tones on their skin. Add bright yellow or orange for sunlight filtering through the water, and don't forget soft white highlights to make the waves sparkle.
