Color By Number for Adults
Last Updated: October 20, 2026 by the Homemade Gifts Coloring Team
Doing a color by number for adults has to be one of my favorite ways to relax in the evening after a long day’s work. There’s something so soothing about taking the guesswork out of which colors to pick—especially after having to make so many other decisions throughout the day. Color by numbers are great for letting your mind unwind and keeping your hands busy.
Color by number printables for adults are more than just a great way to decompress, they’re also perfect for increasing focus, sharpening fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination. Plus, we get a beautiful creation without all the decision fatigue!

Tips and Tricks for Your Color by Number Masterpieces!
Even though we’ve taken the guesswork out of which colors to choose, it doesn’t mean that we don’t have a few helpful tips and tricks for you to use when coloring. Test out some of our suggestions for elevating your color by number printables!
Choosing the Right Utensil
Are you someone who loves to add extra details after a baselayer is set? Color by numbers aren’t set in stone, we can always add the little shadows and textures that we want after we’ve filled in all the numbered blanks. For example, your cute cactus color by numbers would look great with some extra stippling or a few extra spines, or try making your mandalas look embossed by playing with shadows around each color’s edge.
Changing Colors
What if you chose to change out the colors to ones that you personally prefer? Keep our numbers and switch out to your colors. It doesn’t have to be too complicated or be close to the colors that we had chosen for you. Try switching out the cool blues and greens to vibrant oranges and reds in the cactus color by number and see how it transforms your art! Perhaps try switching out pinks and reds in the flowers to blues and purples. When it comes to color by numbers, the sky truly is the limit and the only real decision you’ll need to make is where to start!
