#AdultColoringChallenge: Opposites Attract Challenge

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


Think light vs. dark, warm vs. cool, chaos vs. calm, night vs. day—any kind of contrast you want to explore. You can split your page in two or weave opposing elements throughout your design. Play with bold color choices, unexpected combinations, or even contrasting styles.

I’ve rounded up a few pages you can use if you want a starting point, but feel free to grab anything from your own books or stash. However you interpret “opposites,” have fun with it and make it your own!

There are no restrictions on colors or media!

This is a TWO-WEEK Challenge
