I’ve loved coloring my entire life. As a young adult, I used to color in kid’s coloring books because the adult coloring craze hadn’t started yet. I’m so thankful that coloring is mainstream and that adult coloring pages are easy to find these days!

Behind it and to the left is a coloring page with a floral border and the text "inhale courage, exhale fear." On the right is a coloring page with a cartoon unicorn standing on a cloud and the text "keep dreaming"

I think printable coloring pages are even better than printed coloring books. You don’t have to worry about your color choices. If you aren’t happy with the way the page turned out, you can simply print a new copy and color it again. They’re also way nicer to color on if you use a high quality paper. You can see side-by-side companions of the best papers for printables in this post. It focuses on planner printables, but paper that printer ink looks great on are also good for coloring.

These inspirational adult coloring pages and inspirational coloring pages for kids are a great pick-me-up when you’re having a difficult day.

For some reason, Wednesdays are almost always hard for me. I like to make sure I have one of these inspirational quote coloring pages printed and handy for whenever the mid-week blues strike. They also make great, inexpensive inspirational wall art for your home!

I recommend printing your coloring pages on a “nicer” paper, not cheap-o copy paper. Use your best bright white paper or, even better, presentation paper.

Presentation paper is a heavyweight paper with a special coating. It’s designed for printing brochures and flyers, but I’ve found that ink jet presentation paper works awesomely for coloring pages. It helps keep markers from feathering and the coating helps colored pencils go on smooth.

You may also want to color these pages with sparkly gel pens for an added boost. Check out this post for the best gel pens for coloring, including a great budget pick.
