Color choices

Koi fish scales can begin with orange, gold or deep red, leaving pale highlights between the curved rows. Use a darker shade on the fins, tail and eye for contrast. Color the waves with blues and turquoise, keeping the foam light. Finish the blossoms in pink or white with golden centers, and echo those shades on the drifting petals.

Repeating Scale Palette

Choose a repeating palette for the curved scale rows, then carry selected shades into the fins and tail. Use a contrasting palette for the waves and blossoms.
