Digital example: Children work on a yellow-and-blue carp mural beside uncolored hanging fish.

1. Golden yellow — mural fish head and tail
2. Sky blue — mural fish scales and fin

Color the poster fish’s head and tail yellow; leave its eye and mouth white.
Fill the middle scales and side fin blue without coloring the child’s hand.

Only the large wall drawing is colored; the three hanging fish and the children remain white.
