What is Bluey?
Bluey is an animated series created by Ludo Studio for ABC Kids Australia, first broadcast in October 2018. It follows Bluey Heeler, a six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy living with her family in Brisbane, Australia – her four-year-old sister Bingo, their dad Bandit, and their mum Chili.
The show is set almost entirely in and around the Heeler family home and the nearby park, kindergarten, and neighborhood. Each episode runs about seven minutes and centers on a game, an imaginative scenario, or a small domestic situation that turns into something bigger. What makes Bluey different from most children’s television is that the parents – especially Bandit – are fully realized characters who get tired, make mistakes, and learn things alongside their kids.
Bluey won the BAFTA Children’s Award for Animation in 2020 and 2022, and has broken streaming records in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The Season 3 finale “The Sign” (2024), in which the Heeler family nearly moves away from Brisbane, became a cultural event in Australia and drew some of the largest streaming audiences the show had ever seen.
Character Guide
Bluey Heeler is the six-year-old protagonist – a Blue Heeler puppy with blue-grey fur, white face markings, and a distinctly expressive pair of eyes. She wears no clothes in most episodes, which is standard for the show’s characters, letting the fur color do all the character work. Her defining visual quality is the rich mid-blue of her body against the white of her face – a palette that rewards a careful hand on the transition between the two areas.
Bingo Heeler, Bluey’s four-year-old sister, is a Red Heeler – warmer in color than Bluey, with reddish-orange fur and the same white face markings. She is slightly smaller and rounder in form than Bluey, and the color contrast between the two sisters is one of the most satisfying aspects of any page that features both of them together.
Bandit Heeler, the dad, is a darker Blue Heeler than Bluey – his fur is a deeper, more navy blue, which makes him read as distinctly adult. He is larger and broader than Bluey, and his expressions tend toward the comedic.
Chili Heeler, the mum, is a lighter blue-green or teal – somewhere between Bluey’s mid-blue and a green – with red-orange hair. Her design is the most color-complex of the four main family members.
Muffin is Bluey and Bingo’s cousin – a yellow Labrador pup with golden-yellow fur. She’s younger and more chaotic than Bluey, and her warmer yellow palette provides a strong contrast in any family group page. Socks is Muffin’s baby sister, very small and similarly yellow.
Mackenzie is Bluey’s Blue Heeler classmate – similar in base color to Bluey but with slightly different markings. Coco is a poodle with light pink-white fluffy fur. Judo is a Shiba Inu with tan and white fur. Jack is a Jack Russell terrier – white with brown-tan patches. Rusty is a Red Kelpie with darker reddish-brown fur. Honey is a beagle with the classic tricolor beagle pattern of black, tan, and white. Indy is an Afghan Hound with long, flowing cream-caramel fur. Snickers is a Dachshund with the warm brown-and-tan coloring of the breed. Chloe is an older child character who appears in later seasons.
Coloring Tips
The blue palette of the Heeler family is the central coloring challenge of the entire collection. The three main blue characters – Bluey, Bandit, and Chili – each use a different version of blue that needs to stay consistent and distinct from each other. Bluey is a true mid-blue, like a cornflower blue or medium cerulean. Bandit is clearly darker – navy or dark slate blue. Chili reads as lighter and slightly greenish – a teal-adjacent blue rather than pure blue. Getting these three right means your family group pages read immediately as the real characters rather than three variations of the same color.
The white face markings on all Heeler characters are not pure white in the show – they’re a very soft off-white or light cream that allows the linework to stay visible. If you use pure white, the face markings can disappear against a white page. A very light blue-grey or warm cream applied lightly will keep the face readable without looking like the character has face paint.
Bingo’s orange is the warmest color in the regular cast – a medium red-orange, closer to terracotta or burnt orange than bright red. It sits very comfortably next to Bluey’s cooler blue, which is why their coloring together works so well visually. Don’t go too bright (it reads as fire-engine red instead of fur) or too dark (she starts to look brown).
For the Christmas pages – Bluey with Santa hat, Merry Blueymas, Bingo Christmas – the classic combination is the warm red of Santa accessories against Bluey’s cool blue, which is a satisfying natural complement. Keep Bluey’s blue from going too warm, or it will clash rather than contrast.
For the underwater pages – Bluey Underwater, Bluey diving – let the background drive the palette. A deep teal or navy water background with Bluey’s blue just a touch lighter makes her visible without losing the underwater atmosphere. Add green-tinted highlights on her fur to suggest the color shift light goes through underwater.
For the fantasy/costume pages – Royal Dogs, Knight Dogs, Heelerween Bluey – the Heeler characters maintain their canonical fur colors regardless of what costume they wear. The costume is an overlay, not a replacement. So Bluey, in a knight costume, is still cornflower blue with silver armor on top, not grey.
Bandit’s pages – Daddy Bandit, Funny Bandit, Bluey with Bingo and Dad – reward attention to the size scale difference between adult and child characters. Bandit should feel larger and heavier in color application than Bluey, even though they share the same blue family. Slightly more pressure or a slightly darker value of the same blue on Bandit makes the scale relationship read correctly, even on a flat coloring page.
5 Activities with Your Bluey Pages
Color the four family members as a matched set. Print Bluey, Bingo, the Dad (Bandit), and the Mum (Chili) pages separately – or find the family group page (Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, and Chili Heeler). Before you start, mix or choose four distinct blues: a medium cornflower for Bluey, a dark navy for Bandit, a warm teal for Chili, and a red-orange for Bingo. Color all four pages using only your chosen palette, keeping each character’s color completely consistent across both pages. When you finish, line the four pages up side by side – the color family should feel unified but clearly individual for each character.
Recreate a game from the show. Bluey’s episodes are almost always built around a game – Keepy Uppy, Daddy Finger, The Doctor, Bus. Choose a page that shows Bluey or Bingo in an action pose and color it, then write or draw a small 3-panel comic strip below or next to the page showing what game is being played, what the rules are, and how it ends. The comic doesn’t need to be beautiful – just one sentence per panel. You’re adding the story that the coloring page doesn’t show.
Do the Christmas cluster as a advent activity. The collection has at least six Christmas-themed Bluey pages: Merry Christmas Bluey, Merry Christmas Bluey Bingo, Free Coloring Pages Christmas Bluey, Christmas Coloring Pages Merry Blueymas, Bluey Merry Christmas Coloring Pages, Bluey Christmas Coloring Pages Free, Bluey with Santa Hat, Bluey Christmas. Print all of them and color one per day across December, keeping the palette consistent between pages so they form a matching set when displayed together.
Study one character in depth. Choose the character from the show you know best – Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, Muffin, Mackenzie, whoever it is. Print every page in the collection that features that character. Color all the pages using exactly the same colors for that character, paying careful attention to how the same fur color looks different depending on whether the character is in sunlight, indoors, underwater, or in a darker scene. This exercise trains your eye to adjust color values by context rather than applying the same color mechanically every time.
Make a before-and-after imagination sequence. Print the Bluey’s House page and one of the fantasy/costume pages like Royal Dogs, Knight Dogs, or Cute Dino Bluey. Color Bluey’s House as a realistic domestic scene – warm interior light, everyday colors. Color the fantasy page in the most vivid, dramatic version of the same characters you can manage. Display them as a pair with the label “Real” and “Imaginary.” This mirrors what the show does in almost every episode – the ordinary domestic reality and the imaginative game that transforms it.
