Peach butterfly with white eyespots beside three lavender flower sprays and green serrated leaves; body and background white. — A digital example of this practice; uncolored areas are intentional.

1. Peach — large wing panels
2. Lavender — flowers and buds in three sprays
3. Sage green — leaves and branching stems

Color the large wing panels peach around the black hatching and white round spots. Leave the butterfly's body white.
Color all petals and closed buds in the three long flower sprays lavender. Keep each tiny circular flower center white.
Color the serrated leaves and connecting stems green. Keep their veins and the white gaps between flowers visible.

Trace all three lavender sprays to their tips. Check that white flower centers, wing spots and the spaces between leaves remain distinct.
