#AdultColoringChallenge: Pastel Color Challenge

This site contains affiliate links, view the disclosure for more information.


This week’s #AdultColoringChallenge is all about soft pastels and I’m kinda obsessed… think creamy peaches, cotton candy pinks, minty greens, and dreamy lilacs.

I rounded up some free pages from Harry Alexander’s Cute & Cozy books if you want an easy place to start. They pair really well with this palette. But you can use any coloring page you want.

  • stick to soft, pastel colors – no bold, neon, or dark shades
  • no black except the linework that’s already there, but if you choose to cover it, I’ll give you a bonus random entry
  • white highlights are fair game
  • use whatever media you love
  • FOLLOW ALL THE RULES BELOW

Download free pages from Harry Alexander’s Cute & Cozy Books (These links will take you to the publisher’s website)

Make sure to follow ALL the rules below!

  1. All posts must START with the hashtag “#AdultColoringChallenge” (if you put it at the end and It falls under the “see more,” we might not see it so it MUST be at the BEGINNING of your post!)
  2. If you don’t have a printer, you can use any coloring page you already have.
  3. All posts must credit the artist, book or publisher (without linking) that your page came from (if you use one of the supplied pages credit Harry Alexander).
  4. You MUST use all pastel colors. That means no neon, bold or dark shades.
  5. no black except the linework that’s already there, but if you choose to cover it, I’ll give you a bonus random entry
  6. white highlights are fair game
  7. All posts/entries must include the media used (pencils, markers, gel pens, digital, etc — Although it is preferable, you don’t have to name the brand or show a pic of your pencils/markers but you MUST include the type of media you used at the very least.
  8. Your page must be colored this week and not previously posted or submitted to a different coloring challenge (we do check!)
  9. You must post on Sunday 3/29 noon to midnight EST USA. Do not post earlier or later – otherwise IT WON’T COUNT! You can use dateful.com to figure out time zone conversion.
