Coloring tips for this knight printable

  • Use light gray or silver on the knight’s helmet, sword, and armor so the metal parts stay clear and easy to read.
  • Make the knight’s shield stand out by choosing one main color for the shield and a second, stronger color for the cross.
  • Color the knight’s helmet plume in a bright shade such as red or blue so it becomes the first detail the eye notices.
  • Give the knight’s tunic and boots warmer tones like brown, red, or blue to separate the clothing from the armor.
  • If you use markers on this knight coloring page, start with the larger areas of the shield and tunic, then finish the smaller parts like the plume and sword handle.
