Color choices

A hippopotamus decorated with a floral mandala pattern bathes in a shallow river lined with cattails and distant trees. Color the hippo’s body a soft gray and pick a bright contrasting shade for the mandala pattern across its head and back. Try blue for the river water and green for the cattails and trees along the bank.

Compare mandala patterns

Color the hippopotamus’s body first, then use a different palette for the water and reeds around the river.
