Color by Number Patterns: An Adult Coloring Book with Fun, Easy, and Relaxing Coloring Pages (Color by Number Coloring Books) Paperback – August 20, 2020

The pages are very nice. This is a great quality book. You’ll spend hundreds of hours coloring away.

Love this color by number. Great quality pages and multiple patters to choose from. Great relaxing activity that I love to work on in my downtime. Will definitely recommend for the excellent quality and terrific price!

This is a really nice Color By Number for adults with a good variety of patterns from geometric to floral to swirl. Some have simplistic designs and some more intricate, but none of them are overly complex or have extremely tiny details to try to color. All the numbers are a good size to read, but they will show through most colors and mediums after the picture is finished. There are 50 unique patterns to color with no duplicate images .There is a color chart on the back cover which gives both color examples as well as a generic color names for each number. You can either match your colors exactly to the colors shown, or use the generic names (like light blue, medium blue, dark blue, etc.) to pick your own hues. Also, 4 of the back pages contain custom color charts for you to fill in with the medium of your choice, 2 have the generic names of the colors as listed on the color chart on the back, and 2 are completely blank so you can choose your own color scheme entirely. This is a really nice feature I have not often come across in Color By Number books. However, you will have to cut the pages out of the back of the book if you want to look at them while you are coloring.The paper is a good quality, medium weight paper perfect for colored pencils, and there is a black ink backing on each page for pen and markers so the ink does not bleed through. I would advise using a piece of cardstock behind whatever picture you are coloring in, because the black ink will rub off faintly with even medium pressure and leave a ghost image of the pattern you are coloring on the page behind.On the black ink back of each page there is also a faint copy of the number code included. This is a nice touch as all of the color charts are found in the back of the book, however they do not have any way of actually adding the color to these for visual reference. I would have liked it if the color chart on the back of the page only listed the colors needed for the page across from it, but all the ink backs have the full 30 number color code listed so you have to first hunt through each pattern to figure out which numbers/colors you will use for that page.This is a really relaxing, frustration-free Color By Number book!

When I first saw color by number books for adults, I honestly wondered why any adult would be interested in them. I've been very stressed lately and wanted something different. I actually find coloring in this pretty relaxing. I can color in this while listening to tv shows. The color key is printed on the back cover, as well as in the reverse of each page. However, the keys on the back of each image are not easy to read. The ink needs to be a brighter white.Customers might find it helpful to snap a photo of the full color jacket version with a cell phone. If you don't like the color key provided, there are pages in the back to set some personal keys and so on. I was a little put off by quite a few images having cross like images at the center. It's hard to see in store sample images, because of the watermarks. More variety in the centers would be nice. The spine of my book was odd; pictures started coming loose a few days into my coloring. Considering the higher price on this book, that was really irritating. This hasn't happened with my other Jade Summer books. They may be dog-eared and curled, but they're whole. Overall, reasonably happy with book.

Beautiful patterns. Paper is thick enough for good absorption of the pens. Here's a huge tip I want to share. Use Dual tip Acrylic Markers. This way after you've colored that particular space, use the thicker tip on the other end of your of l marker pen to 'dab away' the number of that space. It'll disappear. Happy coloring

Good coloring book I use at night to calm myself before bed. I like the numbers to colors as I’m not good at picking colors that go with each other. The back side of the page is blank for any markers that bleed through. There’s a page to make your own color chart or you can use their color chart. Many different designs to color and have fun with. I will be getting a few more color by number books.

Wish the color variety was bigger. A lot of different shades of the same color.
