Color choices

Sea otters can use warm brown fur with cream muzzles and darker noses. Begin with the bodies and paw pads, then use olive and deep green along the long kelp fronds and rounded floats. Add soft blue around the water ripples, and use pale gray or sandy tan for the shell. Dark outlines around the whiskers and eyes create contrast.

Kelp Frond Patterns

Use alternating shades along the kelp fronds and rounded floats. Let the water ripples shift from light to deeper blue around the sea otters.
