Color choices

Axolotl can begin with a coral or pale pink body, then use deeper pink along the feathery external gills. Color the lily pad green and combine white, yellow, or purple tones across the water lilies. Finish the cattails with warm brown and the water with light blue, using darker blue around the ripples for contrast.

Pond Pattern Play

Use a repeating color pattern across the gill fronds and flower petals, then contrast it with softly shaded lily pads and water ripples.
