How to Color Dolphins: Simple Dolphin Coloring Tips

  • Keep the belly lighter. Most dolphins are darker on top and pale underneath — leave the belly area a lighter gray or white for a natural look.
  • Use blue-gray for bottlenose dolphins. A soft blue-gray with white accents matches how bottlenose and striped dolphins actually look.
  • Pink river dolphins can range from gray to pink. The Amazon river dolphin pages don’t need to be fully pink — shades from pale gray to rose pink are all realistic.
  • Keep waves and reef backgrounds secondary. Use lighter or more muted colors in the water and coral so the dolphin stays the main focus of the page.
