How to use printable coloring pages for adults
Printing your own coloring pages is easy, plus it’s cheaper than buying coloring books. I love printing and coloring my favorite pages multiple times. I also find that using printables removes the fear of making a “mistake” when coloring, so I enjoy it more. If I don’t like the way a certain color choice turned out, I can always print another copy and color the page again without buying whole new book.
For a more enjoyable, relaxing coloring experience, print your coloring pages on 32lb bright white paper, not whatever cheap copy paper is in the printer at work. The 32 lb paper is thick, bright, and smooth for rich colors. Your marker or pencil will glide across the page when you use this paper!

The markers, pens, or pencils you use to color can have a big impact on your coloring experience, too. Let’s take a quick look at three popular options for adult coloring pages:
- Gel pens
- Markers
- Colored pencils
There are lots of very inexpensive gel pen sets available. They’re so tempting to pick up, but equally frustrating to color with. That’s why I wrote an entire post on the best gel pens for coloring, including budget options that actually color. The TL;DR version is that these are my two top picks:
For coloring markers on a budget, try Crayola Supertips. They’re fun for both adults and children. They can color fine detail or make broad strokes, available in a variety of colors, and you can even use them for hand lettering practice!
One thing to note is that the caps don’t always look exactly like the ink. This is a common marker problem I’ve noticed with other brands, too. I recommend swatching your markers out or testing them on a scrap sheet before coloring your page so you don’t have unpleasant surprises.
- Manufacturer: Crayola
When it comes to colored pencils, nothing can top a set of Prismacolors. Prismacolor colored pencils are soft and creamy. They color easily and are great for blending.
- Soft, thick cores are perfect for shading and shadows
- Ultra-smooth, even color laydown
- Lightfast, richly saturated pigments
