What is shown in this coloring page?

Mulberries are sweet, elongated berries that grow on deciduous trees. They come in several colors when ripe, including deep purple, red, and white. The leaves of the mulberry tree are the sole food source for silkworms, making this plant ecologically and economically important. The fruits are often used in jams, pies, and wines.

How should you color this page?

Choose your coloring tools—colored pencils, markers, or crayons work perfectly. Start by applying a base color to the berries and leaves. For shading, use a slightly darker tone in areas that would naturally have shadow, like the underside of berries or where leaves overlap. Add highlights with a lighter color or by leaving small areas white. For realistic mulberries, consider using this palette:

• Berry Base: #7728A1 (Deep Purple)
• Berry Highlight: #9B5DC6 (Lighter Lavender)
• Leaf Base: #2E7D32 (Forest Green)
• Leaf Veins/Highlight: #66BB6A (Light Green)
• Stem: #5D4037 (Dark Brown)
• Background Accent: #FFF9C4 (Soft Lemon Yellow)
