Two blue swallowtails beside two lavender foreground irises, with two golden beard strips on the larger flower. — A digital example of this practice; uncolored areas are intentional.

2. Lavender irises
3. Golden flower beards

Color both butterflies’ central wing panels blue. Keep bodies, outer spots, scalloped margins and tails white.
Color the petals of the two large foreground irises lavender; leave the small distant irises white.
Color the two fuzzy strips on the larger iris gold.

Check two blue butterflies, two purple flowers and two gold strips. Keep all foliage, river and rocks uncolored.
