How to color Mermaid Cat Swimming with Fish by number

Start with number 4 (Blush). It has the most areas on this page, 22 of 95, so the picture takes shape quickly. This is a Medium page: some areas are small. Colored pencils or fine-tip markers are easier to control than crayons here.

Suggested order

4 Blush: 22 areas
3 Butter: 21 areas
7 Dusty Blue: 13 areas
5 Lime: 11 areas
6 Mint: 7 areas
9 Lavender: 7 areas
8 Gray: 5 areas

10 Sand: 2 areas
11 Charcoal: 1 area

Tips for this picture

On paper, color the light shades first (2 (Cream) and 1 (Baby Blue)) and the darkest, 11 (Charcoal), last. Dark pencil smudges into light areas if you do it the other way round.
Number 11 (Charcoal) appears only once. Keep it for the end as a quick final check.
Online, choose a number and press Find to jump to the next area with that number. A wrong tap does nothing, so you cannot spoil the page.
