A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.

1. 1Start with the big kickboard: color its top and edge cherry red.
2. 2Color the swim cap royal blue on top and pale blue along the band and sides.
3. 3Fill the penguin's back, flippers, and head with charcoal gray, leaving the face, belly, and goggle lenses white.
4. 4Color the beak, the raised flipper, and the fish's middle stripe golden yellow, then add the open mouth in coral pink.
5. 5Color the fish's body, belly, fin, and tail orange.
6. 6Finish with the water splashes in sky blue and pale blue, and the goggle frames in pale blue. Optional: add a little extra gray along the penguin's back for shading.
