Free Extinct Coloring Pages: 17 printable PDF pages featuring Op and Ed, two fluffy orange creatures who think they might be the last of their kind. It’s a smaller set than most on this site, but every page is from a genuinely fun film that deserves more attention than it gets. All free, download PDF to print, or color online.
Op and Ed are both flummox, which means they share a very similar color family. They’re warm and fuzzy and orange, and the fun of coloring this set is finding the differences between the two: Ed is bigger and more confident, with a slightly richer, deeper orange. Op is smaller and more uncertain, and a slightly lighter, warmer yellow-orange fits her better, same species, same family, but not quite the same color once you look closely.
This is a good set for a quick coloring session. With 17 pages, there’s no pressure to commit to a big project. Younger kids can work through the simple solo portraits in one sitting. The duo pages of Op and Ed together are the most satisfying to finish, and the film’s warm, playful color palette makes the whole thing feel easy and cheerful from start to finish.
These pages work great for home or classroom use. They are fan-made coloring pages and are not official, licensed, or endorsed by Netflix or any rights holder of Extinct.

What’s Inside Extinct Coloring Pages
Op Pages
Op is the younger of the two flummox siblings, and she shows up across several solo pages and in every duo composition with Ed.
Coloring Op: She’s warm and fluffy, and her color sits on the lighter, more yellow-leaning side of orange. Think a golden-yellow-orange rather than a strong saturated orange. She’s the more nervous, uncertain sibling, and a slightly softer tone suits her personality. Her eyes are large and expressive, and getting that wide, slightly surprised look right is what makes Op pages really fun.
Ed Pages
Ed has the most solo pages in the set and carries the most confident energy of the two.
Coloring Ed: he’s a richer, slightly deeper orange than Op. Not dramatically different, but noticeably warmer and more saturated. He’s taller, more assured, and his expressions tend toward excitement and determination rather than Op’s gentle bewilderment. That slightly deeper orange keeps him distinct from his sister without making them look like two different species.
Op and Ed Duo Pages
The duo pages are the heart of the set, showing the two siblings together in various poses.
Coloring Op and Ed together: this is where the tonal difference between the two really matters. Put Op in a lighter, warmer yellow-orange and Ed in a richer, fuller orange, side by side, and they’ll read as clearly different characters even though they’re the same species. If both end up in the same tone, they blend on the page. A small difference goes a long way here.
Clarance and General Pages
Clarance, a minor character from the film, appears in one solo page. Several general Extinct-branded and logo pages round out the set.
Coloring Clarance and the general pages: Clarance has his own distinct look and coloring separate from the flummox palette. The logo and general pages are a nice way to round out a session once you’ve worked through the character pages.
Printable PDF and Online Extinct Coloring Pages
Every page is available as a PDF download or as an online coloring sheet.
Using both formats: print the PDF for crayons or colored pencils on real paper. Use the online version when there’s no printer nearby. Both work well with this set’s simple, expressive linework.
What These Pages Do
Op and Ed are two animals who look nearly identical to anyone who doesn’t know them, but the film spends its whole runtime showing that they’re actually quite different. That’s a good thing to keep in mind while coloring. The two characters share an orange-and-yellow-orange palette, and the whole coloring challenge is using tiny shifts in tone to reflect what the story already knows: Ed’s deeper orange carries his confidence, Op’s lighter tone carries her uncertainty. You don’t need to exaggerate it into two completely different colors. Just a step or two apart in saturation is enough to make the difference feel real on the page.
There’s something quietly lovely about a film built around two creatures who think they’re the last of their kind but find out the world is bigger than they assumed. Coloring pages from a story like that carry that same spirit of discovery. For kids, this set is a gentle, no-pressure activity, with warm colors, familiar-looking animals, and no complicated shading. For parents and teachers, it’s also a natural conversation starter about what it means to be different and how differences between siblings or friends don’t have to be a big deal.
The American Art Therapy Association recognizes that coloring pages featuring gentle animal characters in warm palettes offer a calm, low-pressure creative activity well suited to younger children. Op and Ed’s simple, fluffy designs fit that description well.
The American Academy of Pediatrics supports creative content that introduces younger children to themes of curiosity and discovery. Extinct’s story of two creatures who thought they were alone and find out the world is bigger carries that message in an accessible, fun way.
How to Color Extinct Coloring Pages
A few tips that work well across the whole set.
Decide on Op’s and Ed’s colors before you start any page. Test your chosen orange on a scrap of paper first and pick a slightly lighter and slightly deeper version of the same base. Once you have both, stick with them consistently across every page so the two characters always look like siblings rather than strangers.
Keep both characters warm. This set lives entirely in the orange-yellow-warm family. A cool or grey-leaning tone on either character will look out of place, since the film’s whole palette is built on warmth and sunshine.
On duo pages, let the size difference do half the work. Ed is noticeably larger than Op. Once the proportions are reading correctly, a small tonal difference in their fur is all you need. You don’t have to push the colors far apart.
Op’s eyes are one of the most expressive details in the set. She often has a wide, slightly baffled look that’s very specific to her character. Take a moment on those eyes, and the whole page comes alive.
The logo and general pages work well as a final page to color. They’re a nice way to wrap up a session rather than an obvious starting point, since they reference the whole film rather than a specific character moment.
5 Creative Craft Ideas with Extinct Coloring Pages
Op and Ed Side-by-Side Portrait
Color an Op solo page and an Ed solo page in their respective tones, keeping Op slightly lighter and Ed slightly richer.
Cut both to matching sizes and tape them side by side on a backing card to make a simple sibling portrait showing the color difference clearly. Takes about fifteen minutes.
Flummox Bookmark Pair
Color a small portrait of Op on one bookmark-sized strip and Ed on another, then trim both neatly.
Punch a hole at the top of each and thread a short ribbon through so the two characters can sit together as a matching bookmark set. Takes about fifteen minutes.
Extinct Logo Card
Color the Extinct logo page, then fold a piece of blank card in half and glue the colored logo to the front.
Write a short message inside to make a personalized card for a young Extinct fan. Takes about ten minutes.
Op Expression Gallery
Color three or four Op pages showing different expressions, then cut each to a matching small square.
Arrange and glue the four squares in a row on a strip of card to show just how expressive that wide-eyed, uncertain face can look across different situations. Takes about twenty minutes.
Duo Scenes Flip Book
Color three duo pages of Op and Ed together in sequence, keeping their colors consistent across all three pages.
Stack the pages in order, staple along one edge, and flip through them quickly to create a simple flip book that gives a sense of movement between the two characters. Takes about twenty-five minutes.
FAQ About Extinct Coloring Pages
Are these Extinct coloring pages free, and can I color them online?
Yes, completely free. Download the PDF and print at home, or color directly on the website without printing anything.
Is the set just Op and Ed, or are there other characters too?
Mostly Op and Ed. They appear across nearly every page, both solo and together. Clarance, a minor character from the film, has one solo page, and a few general logo and branded pages round out the set.
What is Extinct?
Extinct is a 2021 animated film on Netflix, directed by Nick Bruno and Troy Quane, the team behind Spies in Disguise. It follows Op and Ed, two fluffy creatures called flummox who find themselves transported to the present day, where they discover what happened to their species and what home really means. You can read more about it on Wikipedia.
Why do Op and Ed look so similar if they’re different characters?
They’re the same species, so they share the same basic orange-and-yellow color family. The difference is in their size, their expression, and a small tonal shift: Ed is slightly richer and deeper in color, Op is slightly lighter and warmer. It’s a subtle distinction, but it reflects exactly who they are as characters.
What colors should I use for Op?
A warm, light yellow-orange, softer and less saturated than a strong orange. Think golden and gentle rather than vivid or bold. Her wide, expressive eyes are the most important detail to get right on any Op page.
What colors should I use for Ed?
A fuller, slightly richer orange than Op, still warm but with more depth and saturation. The difference between the two doesn’t need to be dramatic. One step more saturated than Op’s tone is exactly right.
Are these official Extinct coloring pages?
No. These are fan-made coloring sheets for personal use only, not affiliated with or endorsed by Netflix or any rights holder of Extinct.
How many pages are in this set, and is it enough for a full coloring session?
There are 17 pages, which is on the smaller side compared to most sets here. That makes it perfect for a focused single session rather than an ongoing project. Younger kids can work through several pages in one afternoon, and the duo pages are especially satisfying to finish.

One thing to take away from this set: keep Op’s yellow-orange soft and light, keep Ed’s orange a step richer and deeper, and let the size and expression differences between them do the rest. With only 17 pages, it’s easy to be consistent, which is part of what makes this a rewarding set to finish.
