Who doesn’t love watching the amazing colors in the sky at sunrise (or sunset)?
There is a feeling of anticipation and wonder at this time of day — whether it is the dawn breaking or the night falling.
The sky’s natural beauty inspired this color palette. (Check out my tutorial on how to color a sunrise background on your coloring pages!)
The color combination includes deep blue, purple, orange, deep yellow, and light beige yellow.
If you use Prismacolor soft core pencils, the colors are:
PC 906 – Copenhagen Blue
PC1008 – Parma Violet
PC921 – Pale Vermillion
PC942 – Yellow Ochre
PC914 – Cream
(These colors are all available in the 72 Prismacolor soft core set available on Amazon.)
You can also use other brands of colored pencils or markers that have similar colors in their sets.
This rich palette works wonderfully if you are coloring in a sunrise or sunset in the background of your coloring page. The colors also work very well as colors for autumn scenes.
This palette would also make a beautiful mandala.
Enjoy!
