What Is Descendants?
Descendants is a Disney Channel musical franchise set in a world where the children of famous Disney villains and heroes live side by side. The premise follows what might happen if a villain’s child chose a different path than their parent.
The original Descendants (2015) introduced Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos, the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil, as they leave the Isle of the Lost to attend Auradon Prep, the school for heroes’ children. Descendants 2 (2017) brought Uma, daughter of Ursula, into the story as a central antagonist. Descendants 3 (2019) concluded that generation’s arc. Descendants: The Rise of Red, released on Disney+ on July 12, 2024, introduced a new generation with Red, daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Chloe Charming, daughter of Cinderella and Prince Charming, who travel back in time to prevent a past catastrophe.
The collection on this page spans all four films, giving fans of every era something to color.
Meet the Characters
The Original Four (Descendants 1-3)
Mal is the daughter of Maleficent. Her signature look is purple hair with green ombre tips, and her outfits run mostly in deep purples, blacks, and forest greens, the colors of Maleficent’s dark magic.
Evie is the daughter of the Evil Queen, known for her design skills. Her look centers on cobalt blue and crimson red, from her signature blue hair to her red-and-blue outfits with gold accessories.
Jay is the son of Jafar. His color palette runs in deep burnt orange, warm gold, and rich burgundy red, inspired by Agrabah’s desert tones.
Carlos is the son of Cruella De Vil, and his hair reflects his mother’s iconic look: black on one side, white on the other. His outfits blend black and white with occasional red accents.
The Extended Cast (Descendants 2-3)
Uma is the daughter of Ursula, with a deep teal and aqua aesthetic and hints of purple that echo her mother’s palette.
Audrey is the daughter of Sleeping Beauty’s Aurora, styled in soft pink, gold, and pale blonde.
Jane is the daughter of the Fairy Godmother, with a soft palette of pale lavender and light blue.
Lonnie is the daughter of Mulan. Her coloring page at the Auradon Coronation features a Chinese-inspired outfit rendered in red and gold.
Doug is the son of Dopey and Evie’s love interest, styled in warm earth tones and denim blues.
The Rise of Red Generation (2024)
Red is the daughter of the Queen of Hearts. Her look includes brilliant scarlet red hair and a wardrobe built mostly in red, black, and white playing-card graphics, with hearts as a recurring motif.
Chloe Charming is the daughter of Cinderella and Prince Charming, styled with warm blonde hair and soft pink and gold outfits.
Bridget is the Queen of Hearts before she became the character remembered in fairy tales. Her coloring calls for the full Queen of Hearts palette: deep red, black, and gold, with playing card iconography.
What Is Inside the Descendants Coloring Collection
The collection is divided across the two eras of the franchise. The Rise of Red pages, Red, Chloe, Bridget, Cinderella, Captain Hook, Uma in her new look, and the Rise of Red poster represent the newest generation. The original trilogy pages, Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Uma, Audrey, Jane, Lonnie, Doug, and group shots from Descendants 1-3, represent the characters that built the franchise’s fanbase over a decade.
The poster and group pages work well for fans who want to color the full ensemble at once and practice keeping multiple distinct color palettes consistent across a single page. The solo character pages, Mal, Jay, Evie, and Carlos, reward close attention to costume detail, since Descendants’ costume design is known for elaborate embroidery, layering, and accessories.
What Descendants Coloring Pages Do
Practicing character-specific color palettes. Because each character in this collection owns a specific, consistent color family, this collection works well for practicing how a limited palette can define a character’s identity across many different pages.
Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7. The mix of simpler portrait pages and more detailed costume designs in this collection suits a range of skill levels.
Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. A focused coloring session with a favorite character’s costume detail can offer fans the same kind of calming, absorbing activity described in that research.
Connecting to a decade-long franchise. Because the collection spans four films released between 2015 and 2024, it gives longtime fans and newer fans of The Rise of Red a shared set of characters to color regardless of which film brought them to the franchise.
How to Color Descendants Pages Well
- Mal: Use deep violet for her hair, shifting to forest green at the tips, with dark plum and near-black purple for her outfits.
- Evie: Use a rich cobalt or royal blue for her hair and primary costume elements, with crimson red as the accent and gold for jewelry.
- Jay: Use warm orange deepened toward burnt sienna and terra cotta in the shadows, with gold and burgundy as accents.
- Carlos: Keep the white side of his hair clean and bright with minimal shadowing, and use cold, blue-tinted shadows on the black side.
- Red: Use a true, saturated primary red for her hair and costume, with black-and-white playing card graphics as a geometric pattern.
- Bridget and the Queen of Hearts: Use deep true red, ink black, and bright gold, building the red in layers for a rich tone rather than a flat wash.
5 Creative Craft Ideas With Descendants Coloring Pages
1. Character Relationship Map. Color several solo portrait pages, cut them out, and arrange them on cardboard connected by string in each character’s own color, showing friendships and family connections across the cast.
2. Then-and-Now Display. Color a character who appears in both the original trilogy and The Rise of Red, such as Uma, using the same palette in each version, and display them side by side.
3. Bookmark. Color a tall, narrow character design, cut it into a bookmark shape, and glue it to cardstock to make a sturdy reading bookmark.
4. Movie Marathon Card Set. Color one page from each of the four films, label each with its film title, and use them as a keepsake set during a Descendants movie marathon.
5. Fashion Redesign Sketch. Color a simpler portrait page, then use a blank sheet to sketch how that character might look in a different Descendants color palette.
