Color choices
Realistic cardinal plumage can begin with layered scarlet and crimson, leaving the facial mask deep black and the beak warm orange. Color the broad holly leaves next with forest and emerald greens, then use ruby red for the berries. Finish the branch in muted brown, and keep pale feather highlights against darker wing and tail sections for clear contrast.
Holly Leaf Pattern
Use alternating light and dark greens across the holly leaves, then repeat a chosen berry palette around the branch.
