Color choices
Ofrenda flowers can begin with orange, gold, and deep pink, while leaves use fresh green. Color the candles ivory with yellow flames, then give the skull ornaments turquoise and magenta details. Use purple, coral, and teal across the papel picado banner, tablecloths, and pottery. Dark blue frames will contrast with warm bread, fruit, and flower garlands.
Ofrenda Pattern Palette
Repeat a chosen palette across the banner cutouts, tablecloth motifs, pottery flowers, and garland blossoms. Use a contrasting accent for candle flames and frame borders.
Before you print
With about 455 areas to color, Ofrenda Altar with Candles Coloring Page is a detailed page with many small spaces. Fine-tip markers or sharpened pencils give the most control; color it in sections if you like.
The PDF fills one US Letter page. On A4 paper, choose “Fit to page” so the frame stays inside the margins, and print one test copy before making a class set.
This picture is also in the Day of the Dead Coloring Pack, one PDF with 12 pictures and a cover page for printing a set in one go.
