Russet squirrel hugging an ochre acorn with a brown cap, pink inner ears and white muzzle and belly. — A digital example of this practice; uncolored areas are intentional.

1. Russet · fur and tail
2. Pink · inner ears
3. Ochre · acorn body
4. Brown · cap and stalk

Fill the fur and curled tail with russet; keep the muzzle, belly and teeth white.
Color both inner ears pale pink, stopping at the fur edge.
Use ochre on the smooth acorn body around the paws.
Color the scaly cap and stalk brown, keeping the pattern visible.

Check the white muzzle and belly, pink ears and the clear boundary between the two acorn colors.
