Color Japan’s red disc and white flag

This example colors only the flag. The numbered marks identify sample areas; apply the same rule to matching areas elsewhere. Leave the surroundings white for this exercise, or color them freely afterwards.

Flag-color example

Only the flag is colored here. Use the original picture to try it yourself.
Only the flag is colored here. Use the original picture to try it yourself.
  • 1. Deep red — central disc
  • 2. White — flag background
  1. Fill the central disc with red, working inward from the circular edge.
  2. Leave the rest of the flag white. White paper supplies this color; no white pencil is needed.

The disc is red and its edge stays clear against the white flag. The pole and surrounding scene can remain uncolored.

Check the colors, then print

Japan's national flag has a deep-red disc on a white field. The official construction uses a 2:3 height-to-width ratio and a disc diameter of three-fifths of the height. These scene illustrations are coloring pictures, not construction diagrams.

For small stars or a clean circular edge, choose one picture per A4 or Letter sheet and check the print preview before printing. Use colored pencils for narrow spaces; avoid shrinking several flags onto one sheet if the details become hard to see.
