About this subject
The butterfly is almost perfectly symmetrical, which makes it satisfying to color: finish one wing and the other is a mirror image of the same codes. Black outlines the wing veins and edges, and those black cells are what give the page its structure; the orange, teal and yellow fill between them. Small details such as the spots along the hindwing edge come through as single cells.
Colours in this conversion
The source artwork carries 15 distinct colours; this page draws it with 24 mark codes in 11 pen colors. The most-used source colours are shown below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I color one wing at a time?
That usually works best. The wings mirror each other, so coloring one first lets you check the second against it as you go.
Why are the wing veins solid black marks?
The veins are the darkest, most continuous lines in the artwork, so they map to the densest black codes. They hold the shape together once the colors go in.
What is an animal coloring page?
It is a printable page built from a photo or illustration of an animal. Mosaci Studio reduces the source image to a limited colour palette and lays it out as a grid of cells: a color-by-number page numbers each cell and prints a matching colour key, while a mark-based page renders the same image with ink symbols — in black only, or with each mark drawn in its own pen color. Both print from a standard home printer.
Can I turn my own photo into an animal coloring page?
Yes. Upload your own photo or artwork, pick a cell pattern — square, hexagon, diamond, puzzle and several others — set how many colours to reduce to, and export the finished page. The examples in this gallery were made the same way.
Are these animal coloring pages free to print?
The gallery examples are free to browse and print for personal use. To generate pages from your own images, every Mosaci Studio account gets 10 free credits each month; credit packs are available when you need more.
What formats can I export animal coloring pages in?
Pages export as print-ready PDF or as high-resolution PNG. The PDF is the one to use for home printing and for print-on-demand platforms such as Amazon KDP or Etsy, where you should still check the finished file against that platform's current specifications before publishing.
Can I use these animal coloring pages commercially?
The gallery examples are for demonstration only. Pages you generate from images you own or are licensed to use may be used commercially under the Mosaci Studio licence — see the licence page for the full terms.
