What's the best way to colour in a colouring book?
Coloured pencils give the most control and are ideal for detailed designs; layer colours gradually and blend with a white pencil or blending tool for smooth transitions. Markers give bolder, more saturated colour but require marker-friendly paper to prevent bleed-through. Gel pens add a fun metallic or glitter effect for decorative work. For kids, washable markers and thick coloured pencils are the most practical choice. Explore our Pencils and Pastels and Markers collections to find the right tools for your colouring book.
