Color choices

Tortoise coloring can begin with the shell panels in olive green and warm brown. Use soft green for the body, then give the ribbon and post bows a bright yellow or red contrast against the pale path. Color the hare in tan or gray beside a deep brown tree trunk. Finish with varied greens for the bushes, grass, and trees, plus pink or purple flowers.

Finish Ribbon Pattern

Give the finish ribbon and post bows a repeating color pattern. Carry selected colors into the nearby flowers for a coordinated race scene.
