Use gold for the hatchling's skin and sun, and blue for the curling sea.

Green-shelled golden hatchling on a white beach facing blue waves with white crest and a golden sun. — A digital example of this practice; uncolored areas are intentional.

1. Sage green — shell plates
2. Golden yellow — head, flippers, tail and sun
3. Light blue — sea and wave face

Color the shell plates and rim sage green, preserving every dividing line.
Color the head, neck, four flippers, tiny tail and sun golden yellow.
Color the sea, curling wave face and shallow wash light blue. Keep the high foamy crest, spray drops and large foam patch at the right shoreline white.

Check four flippers around the green shell and a white crest above the blue wave. Sand, tracks, shells, plants and sky stay white.
