What is Coloro? Coloring books for children

Coloro is a brand of coloring and creative activity books published by Darkwaters Publishing House and illustrated by C. Waterton.

Currently intended mainly for children ages 4 to 10, the collection offers coloring books featuring many worlds: pirates, unicorns, animals, kawaii food, dinosaurs or seasonal themes.

The standard books have 102 pages and offer 50 illustrations to color, printed on one side, allowing children to discover their chosen world page by page.

At 9,99 € per themed book, Coloro was conceived as a full collection: a creative and educational activity that children can return to regularly, at their own pace.

But Coloro is also a brand looking toward the future. New themes are intended to gradually join the collection, along with new types of activity books and, eventually, creations designed for other audiences, particularly adults.

Coloro starts with a simple idea: coloring can be much more than a pastime lasting a few minutes.

Choosing colors, observing an illustration, following its outlines and gradually filling in the different spaces requires children to focus their attention on a calm, concrete activity.

Coloro books were conceived in this spirit.

With 50 illustrations on a single theme, children can return to their book regularly, finish a drawing they started earlier or simply choose a new illustration depending on what they feel like at the moment.

Each title also has its own identity. The Coloro logo adapts to the world depicted on the cover while retaining the collection's overall identity.

Coloring naturally requires focusing attention on a task: choosing a color, observing shapes, following outlines and making progress on a drawing little by little.

This activity can thus provide a moment conducive to calm and concentration, without pressure to achieve a result.

All children are different, of course, and Coloro does not claim that coloring will have the same effect on everyone. The goal is simpler: to offer a creative activity that allows children to slow down and spend some time on just one thing.

A coloring book can thus have a place after school, during a trip, on a weekend or simply during quiet time at home.

With Coloro, there is no score or goal to reach: children choose their drawing, their colors and their pace.

Coloro does not offer school exercises disguised as coloring pages.

It is the coloring activity itself that has educational value: children observe, choose, experiment with colors and learn to make gradual progress on a creation.

They exercise their attention while leaving plenty of room for their creativity.

There is also no single "right" way to color a Coloro illustration. A dinosaur can be green… but nothing says it cannot be purple.

The primary goal remains to create, experiment and enjoy coloring.

Standard Coloro books have 102 pages and contain 50 illustrations to color.

The drawings are printed on one side: each illustration thus has its own page.

This format offers much more than a single coloring sheet or an image quickly printed at home. Children have a full book devoted to their chosen world and can return to it over time.

At 9,99 €, each title thus brings together 50 illustrations on a single theme.

Coloro Dino is an exception in the collection: it offers 100 illustrations, printed on both sides.

The Coloro collection offers different worlds so that children can choose a book based on their tastes.

Among the available themes:

- Pirates
- Unicorns
- Animals
- Kawaii food
- Dinosaurs

Coloro also offers seasonal collections, including Coloro Autumn, Coloro Cozy, Coloro Pâques Kawaii, Coloro Printemps and Coloro Summer.

This variety allows each child to find a world they enjoy. Some will prefer to set off on an adventure with pirates, others to return to dinosaurs, animals or unicorns, while the seasonal collections allow for a change of atmosphere throughout the year.

And the collection is set to keep growing: new themes will gradually enrich the Coloro world.

Cathy Waterton is the illustrator of the Coloro collection. Affected by color blindness, Cathy Waterton finds herself in the creativity that coloring books offer. Her passion is reflected in the way she works on the drawings and her work maintains visual continuity between the different books while giving each theme its own personality.

Pirates, unicorns, animals, kawaii food or seasonal worlds can thus be very different while clearly belonging to the same collection.

For children who own several books, this also allows them to return to a familiar visual world while discovering new themes.

The Coloro coloring books currently offered are mainly intended for children ages 4 to 10.

They were conceived for parents looking for a simple, creative and calm activity that children can do at their own pace.

A Coloro book can accompany different moments in everyday life: after school, during vacations, on a trip, during a family weekend or simply when children want to settle down to color. Choosing a theme primarily allows them to start with what they already like.

Our coloring books are also entirely suitable for adults who enjoy relaxing with hands-on and artistic activities.

A dinosaur enthusiast can explore Coloro Dino, while another child may prefer pirates, animals, unicorns or a kawaii world, with the many details that encourage concentration.

Coloro aims to become a creative brand broader than its current collection of coloring books for children. Many new themes are planned to continue enriching the worlds offered to creative people, children and adults.

The brand also wants to explore new types of activity books, beyond traditional coloring. The idea remains the same: to offer creative materials that people can open, discover and use at their own pace.

Finally, Coloro is not necessarily just for children.

Future collections may be intended for new audiences, particularly adults, with worlds and activities adapted to their interests.

Coloro will therefore evolve through its collections, but with the same intention: to create books that make people want to put down their screens for a few moments, pick up a pencil and spend time on a concrete and creative activity.

Thus, Coloro begins with coloring for children, but its story does not end there.

New themes, new activity books, new collections and new audiences will gradually expand its world.

Today, young and old can set off on an adventure with pirates, meet dinosaurs, return to animals, unicorns or dive into a kawaii world.

Tomorrow, Coloro will explore still more ways to create.

A book, pencils, an idea… and many pages still remain to be imagined.
