Top view of a blue-shelled turtle with peach head, four flippers and tail among white waves and bubbles. — A digital example of this practice; uncolored areas are intentional.

1. Light blue — shell plates and rim
2. Peach — head, flippers and tail

Color every shell plate and the rim light blue, following the curved divisions.
Color the head, neck, four flippers and small tail peach. Keep the eyes and scale lines clear.

Count four peach flippers around the blue shell. Bubbles and flowing wave spaces stay white.
