1. Brown fur
2. Peach face, hands and feet
3. Yellow banana

Color the head fur, outer ears, body, arms, legs and whole tail brown.
Color the outlined face, inner ears, both hands and both feet peach. Leave eye whites, mouth interior and toenails white.
Color all of the banana yellow, both exposed fruit and peel strips. Leave grass and background white.

Follow each peel strip past the hands. Fingers and yellow peel should remain distinct, and the tail's white inner space stays open.
