Digital example: A blue-colored tail with ivory patches rises above aqua waves and white foam, with gray cliffs and green trees behind.

1. Blue — tail
2. Ivory — tail patches
3. Pale aqua — waves and droplets
4. Warm gray — cliffs
5. Green — shoreline trees

Color the tail and its tall stem blue.
Fill the irregular tail patches with ivory.
Color the waves and falling droplets pale aqua, leaving the foamy crests white.
Shade the cliffs and distant rocks warm gray.
Color the small shoreline trees green; keep sky and clouds white.

The tail patches stand apart from the blue, and white foam separates the aqua waves.
