The best printer paper for coloring pages

I recommend using 32 lb bright white paper for coloring pages. It’s thicker than copy paper, which means it’s less likely to experience bleeding and feathering. It’s also smoother for a more enjoyable coloring experience. If it’s out of stock, the HP 24# paper is the second best choice. It’s still thicker and brighter than standard paper and it cost a couple of dollars less than the 32# paper.

Pencils & markers for adult coloring

I love Copic markers, but they are pricey and can be hard to find. My favorite markers for “everyday” coloring are inexpensive Crayola Supertips. They’re affordable, easy to find, and fun for kids and adults. They have a fine tip for details, but can also be used on the nib’s side for broader areas of coloring.

The caps on Supertips markers usually don’t look quite like the marker ink. This is a common issue with markers – virtually all markers look different on paper than they do on the cap. You may want to swatch out your markers for a better idea of their exact color.

Prismacolors are, in my opinion, the best colored pencils for coloring. I enjoy coloring with pencils because they don’t feather and bleed like markers can. Even the “student” lines of Prismacolor colored pencils are softer and creamier than brands like Crayola. Prismacolors color easily and are great for blending.

For some extra mermaid sparkle, color these pages with gel pens. Even if you don’t want to color the whole sheet with gel pens, you can add accent sparkles.
