Original coloring page: Chameleon Resting by a Leaf →

Green-and-yellow chameleon on a brown branch above a darker green leaf. — A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.

1. Light and dark green
2. Yellow bands
3. Brown branch

Color the head, legs, tail and alternating bands light green. Use darker green on the leaf, keeping its central stem lighter.
Fill the remaining broad body bands yellow without changing their boundaries.
Color the branch brown with strokes along its length; leave the eye white around the pupil.

The tail spiral, body bands and leaf veins should all remain readable.

Treat the palette as an art choice

You can repeat this green-and-yellow pattern or choose another pair of colors. The invented palette is for coloring practice, not a claim that a real chameleon matches any background.

Choose a simple branch-climbing pose, a leafy medium scene or a rainforest with several layers.

Try it together

Use different colors for the chameleon and its habitat. Real chameleons cannot copy every background pattern.
