Digital example: A whale colored blue with an ivory belly raises one long flipper above aqua water beside gray, tree-covered shores.

1. Blue — whale body and flippers
2. Ivory — belly and bumps
3. Pale aqua — water
4. Warm gray — rocks
5. Green — trees

Color the body, tail and both long flippers blue, including the part above the water.
Use ivory on the grooved belly and small bumps.
Shade the water pale aqua without hiding the ripples.
Color the island rocks and distant shore warm gray.
Use green on the small trees and leave the sky white.

The raised and lowered flippers match, while the ivory belly and waterline remain clear.
