This Citroën coloring pages collection has 25 printable designs covering the French carmaker’s classics and modern models, from the 2CV and DS to the C3, C4 Cactus, and Berlingo. Each design is available as a PDF and in the site’s online coloring tool.
What’s Inside This Collection
Classic Citroën
The classic pages include the 2CV (two pages), the DS (three pages), and an old Citroën. The 2CV was built from 1948 to 1990 and is one of France’s best-loved small cars, while the DS, launched in 1955, is remembered for its futuristic shape and its name, which sounds like the French word for goddess.
Small Cars and Hatchbacks
Modern small cars include the C1, the C3, the Saxo, and the DS3, a compact hatchback. The C1 was built on a platform shared with the Toyota Aygo and the Peugeot 107.
Family Cars and Picasso Models
The family-oriented pages cover the C4 Cactus, the C5, and three Picasso pages, including the C4 Picasso and C4 Xara Picasso. The C4 Cactus is known for its Airbump side panels, which were designed to protect the doors from parking knocks.
Vans and People Carriers
Two Berlingo pages and a Jumpy page show Citroën’s practical vehicles for families and small businesses. The Berlingo was first launched in 1996.
Crossovers and Concepts
The C-Crosser and Cruise Crosser pages show Citroën’s SUV-style vehicles, while the C-Sport Lounge and Bubble pages cover more unusual designs. A few general Citroën car pages complete the set.
What These Pages Do
The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7, and the rounded outlines of the 2CV and C1 give younger children friendly shapes to fill in.
A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions, and a car page with clear panels and windows gives car fans a steady, absorbing task.
The models here span more than seven decades of French design, from the 2CV’s simple, rounded body to the DS’s sweeping profile, so the set doubles as a small visual history of one brand.
How to Color Citroën Pages Well
- 2CV: a single soft color such as pale blue, cream, grey, or red, with thin darker lines along the ribbed bonnet.
- DS: a two-tone finish, with a lighter or contrasting roof and warm silver for the chrome edges.
- C4 Cactus: color the Airbump panels along the doors in a contrasting shade so the detail stands out.
- Glass: a pale grey-blue with a small untouched white patch to hint at a reflection.
- Vans: a plain white or bright color on the body, with darker grey for windows and lower trim.
