Digital example: Pale-gold standing giraffe and resting calf with brown patches and details, pink inner ears, green grass and two green trees with brown trunks.

1. Pale gold · both coats
2. Warm brown · patches and tree trunks
3. Soft pink · inner ears
4. Leaf green · grass and tree crowns

Fill both giraffes' base coats pale gold around the patches, including faces, outer ears, horn stems and tails. Follow the calf's folded legs carefully.
Color every patch brown, including tiny face and leg marks. Use brown for both manes, horn tips, hooves, tail tufts and the trunks and branches of the two trees.
Color the insides of all four ears pink.
Color all grass tufts and both flat-topped tree crowns green.

Both giraffes now share a palette. Keep eye whites and highlights, low distant bushes, clouds, hills and the ground white.
