About Surprise Coloring

This is coloring by numbers with a twist! Each coloring page is a surprise!

The coloring pages are fully covered by numbers in such a way that it is hard to determine in advance what is actually on the page. Only when you have already colored a substantial part of the page, you start to see what you are actually coloring.

Each book has 36 opportunities to be surprised. For those who don't like surprises, there are clues on the back of each coloring page. Five short sentences may give you enough information to guess what is on the coloring page. And if you really want to know, it is printed upside-down below the clues.

  • Each book has 36 coloring pages.
  • Each page needs between 5 and 8 colors.
  • Only a total of 12 colors is needed for the whole book.

Currently, there are four books in this series:

  • Around the World - perfect for travelers or those who want to know what is out there.
  • Cute Animals - A collection of very different but cute creatures, special for animal lovers!
  • Vehicles - From jet planes to monster trucks, cool vehicles for everybody to enjoy.
  • Summer Holiday - Fun activities and items related to a great summer holiday!

Instructions

  • There are 36 pages filled with numbers.
  • There are only 12 colors necessary for the whole book.
  • Each page only needs between 5 and 8 colors.
  • The numbers on a coloring page are always single digit; they can be 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9.
  • The bottom of each page shows which number represents which color.

For example:

0 – black. 2 – pink. 3 – yellow.

This means that each 0 on this page should be colored black, including the surrounding white space. The numbers 2 should be pink and all 3’s should be colored yellow.

  • The colors are kept generic, so any color that you have in your collection of pens or pencils that is similar will be fine.
  • The 12 colors are: black, yellow, orange, red, light brown, dark brown, light blue, dark blue, light green, dark green, pink and purple.
  • If you don’t have one of these colors, you can replace it with a color that is similar in brightness. The colored pages will still look fine as long as the contrast between colors is kept similar. It should, of course, not be the same as another color.
