World outline with mainland Africa ochre, water pale blue and other land left white. — A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.

1. Ochre highlighted mainland
2. Pale blue water
3. White other land

Fill mainland Africa ochre, following its coastline. Leave Madagascar and the other landmasses white.
Color the water inside the curved map frame pale blue. Use light pressure around small islands.
Leave all other land, including Antarctica, white, and keep the paper outside the frame white.

The color key should mean: ochre highlights Africa, blue means water and white means other land.
