Digital example: An orchard story scene with red apples, a red dress and a blue checked blanket.

1. Green: orchard and grass
2. Red: apples and dress
3. Brown: wood and hair
4. Blue: clothes, sky and blanket
5. Peach: faces and limbs
6. Yellow: sun and flower centers

Color foliage, hills and grass tufts green.
Repeat red on all apples, the dress and bow.
Use brown for trunks, stump, basket, hat, bag, hair and shoes.
Color the male figures’ clothes, sky and jug blue; alternate blue and white blanket squares.
Add peach to exposed skin, keeping eyes and teeth clear.
Color the sun and flower centers yellow; leave rabbit, clouds, book pages and petals white.

The book’s red apples echo the real fruit; the blue and white blanket remains a clear checker pattern.
