Bold and easy coloring pages for KDP books

A coloring page with thick, uniform black outlines, large closed shapes, minimal interior detail and one centered subject on a very simple background. Pure black and white, no shading.

kdpbook.io can illustrate your whole KDP book in the bold & easy coloring style: each main character first gets a reference sheet in this style, and every page is drawn from those sheets so the characters look the same from cover to last page. It is recommended for 12 of the 36 book types (including kids' coloring book, adult coloring book and kids' activity book) and prints in black & white only.

How bold & easy coloring prints on KDP

  • Outlines are drawn far thicker than KDP's 0.75 pt minimum for lines, and every page is converted to pure black and white before layout, so there is no gray to print unevenly.

Every illustration is prepared at 300 DPI or more, as KDP asks. Which interior suits it: premium vs standard color, the printing cost calculator and how to choose the trim size and paper.

Your brief

Prompt tips for bold & easy coloring

Same characters on every page, text typeset over the art: how every style works.

Three tips

  • Pick a specific theme (farm animals, cozy cafés, ocean life): one subject per page works best.
  • Ask for big shapes if the book is for seniors or small children.
  • Skip busy backgrounds; a simple ground line or a few leaves is enough.

About bold & easy coloring

Which books suit the Bold & easy coloring style?

Bold & easy coloring is offered for kids' coloring book, adult coloring book, kids' activity book, puzzle book, guided journal, planner & logbook and more. You can still pick it for any other book type, or describe your own style.

Can Bold & easy coloring be printed in black and white?

Yes. Bold & easy coloring is drawn in black and white from the start, so it prints cleanly on KDP's black & white interiors and costs less to print than color.

Why is bold and easy good for seniors?

Thick outlines and big closed shapes are easy to see and easy to stay inside, which suits beginners, seniors and small children. It is the default style of kdpbook's adult coloring book.

Can bold and easy pages be printed on both sides?

Yes. Coloring books print one design per sheet with a blank back by default, and you can switch to both sides to fit about twice as many designs; that works best with colored pencils.
