What’s Inside This Collection
Grimace Portraits and Poses
Most pages show Grimace on his own: on the beach, skateboarding, singing, looking angry, and in a few plain portrait and family-style compositions. His round purple body and permanent smile make him one of the simplest characters to color in this whole collection.
Birthday and Shake Scenes
Several pages tie into the 2023 Grimace birthday campaign, including a happy birthday scene and the purple Grimace Shake, both drawing on his long association with milkshakes since his earliest McDonald’s appearances.
Crossover Pages
A large share of this set is fan-made crossovers: Grimace with Among Us, Grimace and Lego, and two pages pairing Grimace with Rainbow Friends. These are not official McDonald’s or Mojang designs, just fan art mixing Grimace with other popular characters.
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 Grimace’s simple, round body gives that age range a large, forgiving shape to fill in with almost no small detail.
A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions, and a familiar, cheerful character like Grimace makes an easy, low-pressure subject for a short coloring session.
Grimace first appeared in McDonald’s advertising in 1971, and the 2023 Grimace Shake brought him back into wide popularity, which is part of why fan crossovers with games like Among Us and Rainbow Friends have become so common.
How to Color Grimace Pages Well
- Body: a vivid medium purple-violet applied evenly, with a slightly deeper purple in the shadow areas rather than grey or brown.
- Eyes and smile: dark brown or black with a small white highlight dot in each eye, and a simple dark curve for the smile.
- Birthday pages: a bright contrasting color, such as yellow or red for the party hat, with a full range of vivid colors for confetti and streamers.
- Milkshake pages: a vivid purple shake in a white or red McDonald’s cup, with clean white whipped cream on top.
- Crossover pages: keep Grimace’s purple consistent and give the crossover character their own separate, correct palette so both stay easy to tell apart.
