Free Home Coloring Pages: 20+ printable PDF pages built around an alien whose entire body changes color depending on what he’s feeling. Oh isn’t wearing an emotional indicator; his actual skin tone shifts with his mood, which means reading each page’s emotional context correctly comes before any other coloring decision. All free, download PDF to print, or color online.
Most characters with a mood-linked design change one small detail, an eye color, a small mark, while the rest of them stay fixed. Oh’s species, the Boov, work differently: their whole body shifts tone based on emotional state, calm green-blue when settled, a startled red when panicked, and other shades in between. That means an Angry Oh page and a Cute Oh page genuinely call for different base colors across his entire figure, not just a different expression on an otherwise unchanged design.
The pages are divided into two types. Tip and Oh pages, covering the largest share of the set across many solo and duo compositions, reward correctly identifying Oh’s emotional state before choosing his color. Captain Smek, Kyle, and the wider Boov pages extend that same mood-reading approach to the rest of the alien cast. The simpler solo pages suit younger fans; the detailed group and Panic-state pages give older fans more to work through.
These pages work well at Home or as fan art. These are fan-made coloring pages and are not official, licensed, or endorsed by DreamWorks Animation or any rights holder of Home.
Quick Answer
Home coloring pages are a free set of 20+ printable PDFs and online coloring sheets featuring Tip, Oh, Captain Smek, Kyle, and the wider Boov species. Because Oh’s entire body color shifts with his emotional state rather than staying fixed, identifying which mood a specific page represents is the central coloring decision across the set.

What’s Inside Home Coloring Pages
Oh Pages
Oh appears across the largest share of solo pages, covering a wide emotional range, including Happy, Cute, Angry, and a distinct Panic variant.
Coloring Oh: his species’ defining trait is that skin color directly reflects mood, so the first task on any Oh page is identifying which emotional state the pose and expression suggest. A calm or happy Oh suits a settled green-blue tone-an angry or agitated Oh shifts toward a deeper, more saturated version of that same family. The Panic page calls for the most dramatic shift: a startled, alarmed red replacing his usual cooler tones entirely. Treat this color change as the actual biology of the character, not as a creative liberty, since it’s built into the species itself.
Tip Pages
Tip appears across numerous solo and duo pages, often alongside Oh, Pig Cat, and a character named Lucy Tucci.
Coloring Tip: She is a human girl with warm brown skin and dark hair, and her palette should stay consistent across every page, regardless of Oh’s shifting colors beside her. That contrast matters: Tip’s fixed, ordinary human coloring next to Oh’s mood-reactive alien tones reinforces the gap between the two species at the heart of the story’s friendship.
Captain Smek Pages
Captain Smek, the Boov leader, appears in two pages, including a Funny variant.
Coloring Captain Smek: as a Boov, he follows the same mood-linked color logic as Oh, but his more pompous, self-important personality suits a slightly different default register, perhaps a richer, more saturated version of the species’ base tones to reflect his higher status and louder presence within Boov society.
Kyle and The Boov Pages
Kyle appears in solo pages and alongside a wider Boov group composition.
Coloring Kyle and the Boov: Kyle shares the same color-shifting biology as Oh and Captain Smek, so apply the same emotional-state logic here: read his expression and pose before settling on a tone. The general Boov group page offers a chance to show several members of the species in slightly different shades simultaneously, since a crowd of Boov would naturally display a range of emotional states rather than one uniform color.
Pig Cat and General Pages
Pig Cat, Tip’s pet, appears in a solo page. A general Home-branded page rounds out the set.
Coloring Pig Cat and the general pages: Pig Cat uses ordinary, naturalistic pet coloring, distinct from both Tip’s human palette and the Boov’s color-shifting alien biology, providing a third visual register within the cast. The general page can be approached with whichever character or scene it depicts, following the same species-specific guidance established throughout the rest of the set.
Printable PDF and Online Home Coloring Pages
Every design comes in two ways: a printable PDF for paper, or the same artwork colored on screen.
Using both formats: print the PDF when you want a clean sheet for markers or colored pencils suited to vivid mood-driven color, and use the on-screen version when there is no printer nearby. The PDF holds the cast’s rounded, expressive character designs cleanly on standard letter or A4 paper.
What These Pages Do
Oh’s species turns an idea most character design only gestures at, color reflecting inner state, into literal biology. Where many designs use a small detail to hint at mood, the Boov shift their entire visible surface, so emotional reading has to come first rather than as an afterthought layered onto a fixed design. Getting Oh’s color right means identifying what he’s feeling, then applying that tone across his whole figure, not just his expression. That skill, treating full-body color as a built-in signal of internal state rather than a fixed identity marker, applies to mood-based illustration and any visual system where color must communicate feeling rather than category. From here, cartoon coloring pages are the parent hub, and Monsters vs Aliens coloring pages and Megamind coloring pages share the closest DreamWorks alien-comedy lineage.
The American Art Therapy Association recognizes that creative engagement with characters whose visible appearance directly reflects internal emotional states offers a particularly accessible way to practice naming and recognizing feelings through art. Oh’s color-shifting design gives coloring pages an almost diagnostic quality, since correctly coloring a page requires correctly reading the emotion behind it first. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports creative activities that help younger children build emotional vocabulary and recognition, and matching Oh’s color to his mood across this set offers a natural, built-in version of that exercise within a fun, alien-invasion storyline.
How to Color Home Coloring Pages
These steps work for any page in the set, from a solo Tip portrait to the full Boov group scenes.
Read the expression and pose on any Boov page before selecting a color. Oh, Kyle, and Captain Smek all share the same mood-linked biology, so identifying calm, happy, angry, or panicked comes first, and the color choice follows directly from that read.
Treat the Panic page’s red shift as a complete color change, not an accent. When a Boov character is alarmed, the red takes over the entire visible body rather than appearing as a small detail layered onto the usual green-blue base.
Keep Tip’s human palette completely fixed regardless of Oh’s color on the same page. Her consistency contrasts with Oh’s shifting tones, which work visually, reinforcing the species difference that defines their friendship.
On group Boov pages, vary the shades slightly across different individuals. A crowd of Boov experiencing the same scene might still show a believable range of subtle emotional differences, so a uniform single color across every figure can feel less alive than slight individual variation.
Use Pig Cat’s naturalistic pet coloring as a grounding reference point. His ordinary palette sits apart from both Tip’s fixed human tones and the Boov’s emotion-driven shifts, giving the page a third visual register to balance against.

FAQ About Home Coloring Pages
Are these Home coloring pages free, and can I color them online?
Yes. Every page is free, with no sign-in or payment required. Download the PDF to print at Home, or color directly on screen in the browser.
Does the set include Captain Smek and Kyle, or mainly Tip and Oh?
Tip and Oh appear across the largest share of pages, but Captain Smek and Kyle each get their own dedicated pages as well, alongside a general Boov group composition and a page featuring Tip’s pet, Pig Cat.
What is Home?
Home is a 2015 animated film produced by DreamWorks Animation, based on Adam Rex’s novel The True Meaning of Smekday. It follows Oh, a clumsy alien from a species called the Boov who relocate to Earth while fleeing a more hostile alien race, and Tip, a young girl who teams up with him after the Boov’s arrival separates her from her mother. The film is known for its blend of comedy and themes of friendship across differences. You can read more about Home on Wikipedia.
Why does Oh’s whole body change color depending on the page?
The Boov species’ skin color is directly linked to emotional state as part of their actual biology, not as a stylistic choice layered on top of a fixed design. A calm or happy Boov shows cooler green-blue tones, while an alarmed or panicked one shifts dramatically toward red. Coloring Oh accurately means identifying his emotional state on each specific page before choosing a color.
What colors should I use for Oh in different emotional states?
A settled, happy Oh works well in cooler green-blue tones. An angry or agitated Oh suits a deeper, more saturated version of that same family. The Panic page calls for a complete shift to alarmed red across his entire body, replacing the usual cooler palette rather than simply adding a red accent.
What colors should I use for Tip?
Warm brown skin and dark hair, kept completely consistent across every page, regardless of what color Oh happens to be beside her. Her fixed human palette is part of what makes the visual contrast with Oh’s shifting alien tones work.
Are these official Home coloring pages?
No. They are fan-made coloring sheets for personal use and are not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by DreamWorks Animation or any rights holder of Home.
What are the Boov, and why did they come to Earth?
The Boov are a nomadic alien species who relocate from planet to planet while fleeing a more aggressive alien race called the Gorg. In the film, they settle on Earth and attempt to peacefully relocate humanity, which leads to Oh’s friendship with Tip after she avoids being moved along with the rest of the population.

For the final pass: read the expression and pose on any Boov page before selecting a color, treat the Panic page’s red shift as a complete change rather than an accent, and keep Tip’s human palette completely fixed regardless of Oh’s color beside her. Those three habits cover the most important coloring decisions across all 25 pages.
