Color choices

A long-legged crane holds a fish in its beak while standing among cattails and a lily pad, framed by a scalloped ripple border. Color the crane a soft white with a contrasting dark cap on its head, and give the fish a bright silvery shade. Try green for the cattails and lily pad, with a cool blue for the water rippling beneath the crane’s legs.

Compare the crane’s feathers and the fish’s scales

Color the crane’s feathers first, then use a contrasting palette for the fish’s scales and the surrounding water.
