Coloring ideas

Halloween orange—or something completely different

A pumpkin does not have to be colored only one way. Traditional orange works for a familiar Halloween look, but the large sections in this design also make it useful for experimenting with different palettes.

For an autumn activity, use warm oranges, yellows, browns and greens. For a more imaginative Halloween page, try purple, teal, pink or patterned sections. The leaves can be colored separately to introduce fall colors without changing the pumpkin itself.

Classic HalloweenOrange pumpkin, green or brown stem, and warm yellow highlights.

Autumn paletteRust, gold, brown, muted green and deep orange for a fall-themed result.

Creative pumpkinUse purple, blue, pink or patterns if the goal is imaginative coloring rather than realism.

Practice shadingColor the pumpkin sections slightly differently to make the curved shape stand out.

How to print the pumpkin coloring page

Open the image at full size or use the print button above. Standard A4 and US Letter paper both work well.

For crayons and pencils

Normal printer paper is usually sufficient and keeps the activity inexpensive for groups.

Heavier paper may reduce bleed-through, depending on the markers and printer you use.

Printer margins

If any line sits too close to the edge, choose “fit to printable area” or a similar scaling option.
