Pick a color and paint it by hand. When you finish, watch the page come together in a timelapse with music, then share it. A new artwork every day, all free.
Colour Within is paint by numbers for iPad, painted by hand.
Pick a color, find the matching shapes and paint them in yourself with a digital paintbrush or pencil. Every color on the page already belongs there, so the only choice is where to begin. The numbers give you structure, but the coloring is yours. Use Apple Pencil or your finger, take your time, and leave a page whenever you like. Come back to it later that day or next week.
There are no scores, streaks, timers, reminders or notifications. Colour Within is the quiet thing on your iPad, not the loud one.
- Brush and pencil tools, an eraser for detailed hand coloring and bucket fill for large, flat areas
- A highlight you can style yourself, so you can see where the selected color goes
- A short timelapse of every page you finish, with music if you'd like it, ready to share
- Crisp artwork at every zoom level, down to the finest details
- Different artwork featured each day, and a growing library to browse at your own pace
Colour Within is free with ads, and that includes every artwork and every tool. The optional subscription removes the ads. Everything else stays the same.
Made for iPad, in both portrait and landscape. Apple Pencil is recommended but not required. Once you've downloaded an artwork, it stays available offline along with your progress. You'll need an internet connection to download a new one.

I really enjoy this app so far, but I think it needs an option to customize the color of the section highlights. the light yellow is very hard to see and I think it would make the app more accessible to those who may have a hard time seeing such light colors if it were customizable. would love to see this in future updates!
Developer Response
Thanks for your review and feedback and you're absolutely right! The latest version now has a fully customisable highlight system, with automatic contrasting colour selection for both border and background, as well as style, visibility and more. Hope you enjoy it!
You can now style the highlight that shows where your selected color goes. Switch its border and background on or off separately, then tap Customize to choose their colors, line style and pattern.
Area numbers are easier to read. Each number is drawn in whichever color stands out best against its area, and the background pattern fades away behind it. Some large areas that had no number now show one.
Timelapses can now play with music. Each finished page gets a short piece chosen for it, and the music stays with the video when you share it. Videos you've already made don't change, and you can turn music off in Settings.
When you come back to Colour Within, it reopens the page you were coloring.
If you'd like to leave a rating, there's a Rate Colour Within link in Settings, under About.
Buttons and switches are easier to read in dark mode, and pages open and zoom more reliably.
This update also fixes a small issue behind the scenes.
