Overview
Color Paint is a portrait coloring-book game whose gallery sorts hand-drawn line art into Featured, Manga, Zodiac, Chinese, and Celtic shelves. Pick a picture, tap a closed region, and it flood-fills with the selected color while the printed shading shows through. Finished pieces return to the gallery as colored thumbnails you can reopen, wipe clean, or download.

Objective and input
How to Play
Choose any open picture from the gallery grid. In the editor, pick a swatch from the Free, Essential, Basic, or Pastel palette tabs, choose a Solid or Glitter finish, then tap a region to fill it. Switch to the pencil for freehand strokes and set its size with the plus and minus buttons; the curved arrows undo and redo each step. The green arrow opens the finishing screen with photo filters such as Polaroid or Kodachrome and outline styles, plus a download button. Back in the gallery the thumbnail turns colored, and reopening a finished piece offers Continue or Clean.
Mobile Controls
Tap a gallery thumbnail to open a picture, tap a color swatch to select it, then tap any closed region of the line art to flood-fill it; drag on the canvas with the pencil tool for freehand strokes.
Tap the toolbar icons to switch between bucket and pencil, undo or redo a step, leave the picture, or open the finishing screen, and tap Solid or Glitter to change the fill texture.
What stands out
Features
Tap-to-fill line art
Every region of the grayscale drawings flood-fills with one tap, and the printed halftone shading survives the fill so colored areas keep their texture.
Solid and glitter palettes
Palette tabs from Free to Pastel hold rows of swatches, and a Solid or Glitter toggle gives fills a flat or sparkling finish.
Freehand pencil and undo
A pencil tool draws freehand strokes with an adjustable tip size, while undo and redo arrows step backward and forward through every action.
Photo filters and outlines
The finishing screen applies photo filters like Polaroid and Kodachrome or outline styles, and the finished piece can be downloaded.

Gameplay Tips
- 1
Check every palette tab before starting; the Free, Essential, Basic, and Pastel sets each hold different colors.
- 2
Fill the big background regions first with the bucket, then switch to a small pencil tip for tiny details like lettering that a tap can miss.
- 3
The undo arrow removes your last fill or stroke one step at a time, so experiment freely with Glitter and bold colors.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I color a picture in this game?
Pick any picture from the gallery, tap a swatch from the palette tabs, then tap a closed region of the line art to flood-fill it. The printed shading shows through the fill, so colored areas keep their texture.
Can I draw freehand instead of just filling regions?
Yes. Switch to the pencil tool for freehand strokes and adjust its size with the plus and minus buttons. A small pencil tip is handy for tiny details like lettering that a tap fill can miss.
What happens if I make a mistake?
Curved undo and redo arrows step backward and forward through every fill and stroke, one action at a time. That means you can experiment freely with glitter finishes and bold colors without risking your work.
What is the finishing screen for?
The green arrow opens a finishing screen where you can apply photo filters like Polaroid or Kodachrome, pick outline styles, and download the completed piece. Finished pictures also show as colored thumbnails back in the gallery.
Is there any color variety beyond the first palette?
Plenty — check every palette tab before starting. Free, Essential, Basic, and Pastel each hold different colors, and a Solid or Glitter toggle gives your fills a flat or sparkling finish.
