Color choices

Realistic sea turtle colors can begin with olive green across the shell and sandy tan on the head and flippers. Use darker green for shell divisions and flipper scales, with amber around the eye for contrast. Finish the fish with coral orange and pale yellow, then give the coral, tube sponges, sea grass, rocks, and seabed a mix of pink, purple, teal, and beige.

Reef Color Pattern

Repeat a chosen color sequence across the shell sections, then echo the same palette on the fish and reef plants. Use contrasting shades to separate the turtle from the seabed.

Before you print
