What is shown in this coloring page?

Raspberries are aggregate fruits, meaning each berry is made up of many tiny individual drupelets, each containing a seed. They grow on thorny bushes called canes and come in a variety of colors including red, purple, black, and gold. Raspberries are known for their sweet-tart flavor and are packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. They are a favorite in jams, desserts, and fresh summer snacks.

How should you color this page?

Begin by coloring the raspberries themselves. Use a base color for the overall berry, then add darker shades in the crevices between the drupelets to create a realistic, textured look.
