What’s Inside Chowder Coloring Pages
The set covers the full named cast of Marzipan City across 48 designs, organized by character.
Chowder Pages
Fifteen pages feature Chowder as the main or sole subject: happy Chowder, funny Chowder, cute Chowder, cartoon Chowder, chibi Chowder, Chowder for kids, and several printable and general variants.
Coloring Chowder: Chowder is a small, round creature that is part bear, part cat, and part rabbit, with lavender-purple fur, large, round eyes, and a distinctive round form. His clothing is a matching lavender-purple with light purple or pink polka dots throughout. His hat, shirt, and shorts all share the same polka dot pattern. His skin and fur are the same warm lavender across the whole body.
The polka dots on Chowder’s clothing are a defining feature of both the character and the show. In the original animation, Chowder’s clothing patterns are static overlays that do not move with the character’s body, a deliberate design choice by creator C.H. Greenblatt to give each character a unique visual fingerprint. On coloring pages, the dots are drawn as part of the clothing area, and placing them consistently at roughly even spacing gives the page its character-accurate quality.
His nose is small, warm, and dark brown-pink, and his large eyes have dark pupils with a slight warm highlight.
Panini Pages
Eleven pages feature Panini: pretty Panini, lovely Panini, funny Panini, cute Panini, Panini with Chowder, Panini and Chowder, and several solo and scene variants.
Coloring Panini: Panini is a pink rabbit-like character with long ears and large expressive eyes. Her main color is a warm, saturated pink, deeper and more vivid than Chowder’s lavender. She wears a darker pink or magenta clothing with her own distinct pattern. Her ears have slightly lighter pink interiors. Her large eyes are the emotional center of every Panini expression page: round, prominent, and typically shown in an expression that communicates her intense devotion to Chowder.
Coloring Chowder and Panini together: these paired pages place Chowder’s cool lavender-purple directly against Panini’s warm, saturated pink. The two colors are near-complementary, which means they naturally create strong visual contrast without requiring very different values. On paired pages, keeping Chowder’s lavender slightly cooler and Panini’s pink slightly warmer maintains their visual separation and reflects their contrasting personalities.
Mung Daal Pages
Two pages feature Mung Daal: Mung Daal from Chowder and Mung Daal in Chowder.
Coloring Mung Daal: Mung Daal is the elderly chef who runs the Mung Daal Catering Company and serves as Chowder’s mentor. He has distinctive blue skin, an unusually long nose, white hair and mustache, and wears a chef’s hat and apron. His blue skin is a medium, slightly muted blue-grey rather than a vivid primary blue. His chef’s hat and apron are white; his clothing beneath is dark with its own pattern detail. The contrast between his blue skin and white chef’s uniform makes him visually distinctive among the cast.
Schnitzel Pages
Two pages feature Schnitzel: Shnitzel from Chowder and Funny Shnitzel.
Coloring Schnitzel: Schnitzel is a Radda, a rock creature who serves as Mung Daal’s sous-chef. His body is made of grey stone or rock-like material rather than fur or skin. He is large and muscular, with a naturally textured surface. The entire body is a grey stone tone, ranging from mid-grey in lighter areas to darker grey in the shadows and rock texture lines. He wears a small white chef’s hat. The rock texture on Schnitzel makes him the most unique coloring subject in the set: working with grey stone tones instead of the warm-saturated palettes of the other characters.
Gazpacho Pages
One page features Gazpacho: Gazpacho from Chowder.
Coloring Gazpacho: Gazpacho is a large, friendly mammoth-like character who runs a fruit stand in Marzipan City. His fur is a warm golden-orange, and he is significantly larger in scale than any other character in the set: his physical size is part of his visual identity. He wears a brightly striped scarf in multiple warm and earthy colors: reds, yellows, and greens in alternating horizontal bands. The stripes on the scarf are each a distinct, fully saturated color, making it one of the most colorful single accessories in the set.
Ms. Endive and Gorgonzola Pages
One page each features Ms. Endive and Gorgonzola.
Coloring Ms. Endive: Ms. Endive is tall and large-framed with a towering beehive updo in pale yellow-white, pale green skin, and a dark teal or deep purple chef’s outfit with a white apron. The contrast between her pale green skin and dark outfit is the defining color relationship on her pages. Her updo is elaborate and takes up significant vertical space on the page: a warm ivory-yellow rather than pure white keeps it reading as styled hair rather than a hat.
Coloring Gorgonzola: Gorgonzola is a small rat boy with brown-grey fur, and his most distinctive feature is a deep purple hooded robe he wears throughout the series. He typically carries a candle, which adds a warm yellow flame accent to his otherwise cool, muted palette. Purple robe, grey-brown fur, and warm candle flame: these three elements together give Gorgonzola his visual identity and make him immediately distinct from the warmer palettes of Chowder and Panini.
Supporting Cast Pages
Additional pages cover Truffles, Kimchi, Muffin, Chestnut, Todd, Stilton, and Ambrosia.
Truffles: Mung Daal’s wife, a small hovering character with golden-yellow skin and bright magenta-pink hair worn in two buns. Her outfit is a saturated purple with pink accents. Truffles uses the most vivid, fully saturated palette of any character in the main cast: the magenta hair and purple clothing sit at full color intensity, which is part of why she reads as so energetically present despite her small size.
Kimchi: Chowder’s companion, depicted as a small cloud or living blanket creature. Kimchi is typically depicted in warm purplish or grey-lavender tones consistent with Chowder’s overall palette.
Chestnut and Stilton: Chestnut is a warm brown character; Stilton has a cooler, more muted grey-yellow palette consistent with the aged cheese it’s named after.

What These Pages Do
Chowder’s polka dots do not move when he moves. In the original animation, the clothing patterns on every character in the show are static overlays applied to the character’s surface. When Chowder runs, his dots stay fixed in space while his body moves through them. When Schnitzel raises his arm, his rock texture does not stretch or shift. Creator C.H. Greenblatt applied this design rule to every named character, giving each one a visual pattern that functions like a fingerprint: polka dots for Chowder, Panini’s repeating print, Schnitzel’s stone texture, Mung Daal’s fine pattern.
The result is a show where coloring any character simultaneously colors that character’s unique pattern. Getting Chowder right on a coloring page means getting the dot distribution right. Getting Schnitzel right means getting the stone texture right. These are different tasks from just filling in a character with flat color.
The food-naming system that runs through every character name, street name, and recipe ingredient in Marzipan City is not decoration. It is the organizing principle Greenblatt applied to the entire world, not just the main cast. It is why the set of 48 pages feels internally consistent despite covering characters as visually different as Schnitzel’s grey stone and Truffles’ magenta buns.
The AAP notes that coloring activities featuring highly patterned character designs support children’s fine motor development and visual attention, as consistent pattern placement requires closer observation and more deliberate mark-making than flat color fill.
Art therapy practitioners note that methodical, repetitive pattern coloring, such as filling polka dots or rock texture consistently across a character, is frequently reported as particularly calming and satisfying by older children and adults who use coloring for stress relief, as the structured repetition provides a clear task with visible progress.
How to Color Chowder Coloring Pages
Chowder’s dots are evenly spaced on his clothing, not his body. The polka dots appear on his hat, shirt, and shorts, not on his exposed fur. On pages where his face and hands are visible as furless lavender, keep those areas dot-free. The dots fill the clothing areas at roughly even intervals.
Panini’s pink should be warmer and more saturated than Chowder’s lavender. The visual relationship between the two characters depends on their color contrast: Chowder’s cool, slightly grey lavender against Panini’s warm, vivid pink. If both are colored in similar pastel tones, they lose their visual distinctiveness as a pair.
Schnitzel’s grey is a rock texture, not smooth grey. On Schnitzel pages, the grey varies in value across the surface to suggest stone: slightly lighter on raised areas and edges, darker in recesses and texture lines. A single flat grey loses the character’s defining material quality.
Mung Daal’s blue skin is grey-blue, not vivid blue. A slightly muted, grey-leaning blue rather than a bright sky or royal blue reads as aged skin rather than cartoon blue, which is appropriate to his elder character design.

What is Chowder, the cartoon?
Chowder is an animated series created by C.H. Greenblatt that aired on Cartoon Network from November 2, 2007, to August 7, 2010. The show is set in Marzipan City, a fictional culinary city where every character, location, and ingredient is named after food. It follows Chowder, a young apprentice chef who works and lives with Chef Mung Daal and his wife Truffles. The series ran for three seasons and 49 episodes.
Who are the main characters in Chowder?
The main characters are Chowder, a purple bear-cat-rabbit apprentice chef; Mung Daal, his elderly blue-skinned chef mentor; Truffles, Mung’s wife; Schnitzel, a rock creature who works as sous-chef and can only say the word Radda; Panini, a pink rabbit who is obsessed with Chowder; and Kimchi, Chowder’s living cloud companion. Supporting characters include Gazpacho, Gorgonzola, Ms. Endive, and others.
Why does Schnitzel only say Radda?
Schnitzel is a Radda, a species of rock creature in the Chowder universe. His species communicates entirely through variations of the word Radda, and despite this limited vocabulary, other characters understand him. It is a running gag throughout the series that Schnitzel’s Radda-based responses are understood as full sentences by everyone around him.
What is special about the animation style in Chowder?
In Chowder, each character’s clothing has a unique pattern that stays fixed in space when the character moves, rather than moving with the body. Creator C.H. Greenblatt applied this consistently to every named character so that the pattern functions as a visual fingerprint: Chowder’s polka dots, Panini’s print, Schnitzel’s stone texture.
Why are all the characters and places in Chowder named after food?
Chowder is set in Marzipan City, a fictional culinary world where food is the organizing principle of everything, including character names, place names, and the ingredients in every recipe the characters work with. Creator C.H. Greenblatt built the show’s world around this consistent food-naming system, which is why characters are named Chowder, Panini, Schnitzel, Gorgonzola, Gazpacho, and Mung Daal.
Are these official Chowder coloring pages?
No. These are fan-made coloring sheets for personal use and are not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by C.H. Greenblatt, Cartoon Network, Warner Bros. Discovery, or any other rights holder of Chowder.
What age group are these pages best suited for?
Chowder coloring pages are appropriate for children aged 7 and up. Older children most appreciate the show’s humor and the detail of the character designs, though younger children who enjoy the colorful characters will find the simpler pages accessible.
