Creating Your Color Code

Four steps take you from an empty page to a finished color code.

A few terms first

Symbol

The number, letter, or icon printed on the coloring page itself, marking a region to color — and the entry you create for it in Paliko.

Legend

The reference chart printed in your book, usually at the bottom of the page, that tells you which color goes with each symbol.

Marker

The specific marker from your collection that you choose for each symbol.

Color code

The final collection of markers used for coloring a mystery coloring book page — the thing colorers share with each other.

Step 1

Browse Books

Find your book from our library of coloring books. When you find it, click it.

Step 2

Pick a Page

From there, click on a page to open it.

Step 3

Enter the Symbols

Use the drop-down to enter in each symbol as displayed in your coloring book. Enter each one in the same order as it appears in the book. Don't worry if you mess up. You can always drag to reorder, delete, and create new ones

Step 4

Choose and Enter Your Markers

Once all the symbols are entered, tap each one to select a marker. The dropdown starts with marker brand and then lists the marker numbers. You can even add two different markers or pens for every symbol. When you are done selecting all of the markers, you can use the completed color code as reference while you color and/or share the color code by clicking "Share".
