Coloring Tips

Master the pastel palette — Kawaii characters thrive in soft, gentle colors. Use light pink, baby blue, mint green, lavender, and pale yellow as your core palette, saving bold colors for small accent details like bows and accessories.
Keep expressions simple — The magic of kawaii faces is their simplicity. Small dot eyes, a tiny mouth, and soft pink cheek circles are all you need. Resist adding too much detail to the face.
Decorate the background — Fill empty spaces with tiny stars, hearts, flowers, musical notes, and sparkles. These small decorative elements are a signature of the Sanrio aesthetic and make every page feel more complete.
Try themed color schemes — Give each character their own color identity. A cat character might be white with red accents, while a bunny could be pink with yellow details. Consistent color theming helps each character feel distinct and memorable.
