Choosing the colours of the stripes and the scenery gives free rein to the imagination. Nothing says you have to stick to natural colours in a child’s colouring page. This freedom deeply nurtures their artistic sense.
🎨 Which colours to use for each scene
The zebra is black and white, but the scenery offers plenty of colour freedom. A few simple tips help children put their landscapes together. Choosing your colours well really changes the final effect.

Black and white remain the choices most true to nature. But you can absolutely try dark grey, brown or even blue. This moderate fantasy gives the drawing a personal touch without spoiling it.
🌅 The savanna in the background
For the savanna, ochres, straw yellows and golden greens work wonderfully. An orange sky at the end of the day makes the zebra stand out spectacularly. The scenery really brings the scene to life.
