What’s Inside This Collection
The Five Emotions Solo
Joy has the most pages of any character, followed by Fear, Disgust, Anger, and Sadness, each shown in a range of expressions and poses that capture their distinct personalities.
Emotion Duos and Pairs
Several pages pair two emotions together, including Joy and Sadness sharing a quiet moment, and Fear paired with Anger or Sadness.
Full-Cast Group Scenes
A number of pages bring all five emotions together in one composition, along with a page simply titled “Five Emotions” that introduces the full cast at once.
Bing Bong
Riley’s forgotten imaginary friend appears solo and alongside Joy and Sadness, reflecting his central role in the film’s story.
Riley and Extras
Riley herself appears in a few solo pages, alongside a page showing her father, and the set closes with a title page and a Jangles the Clown design.
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 simpler solo emotion portraits suit that age range well, while the full-cast group scenes reward older colorists who enjoy more detail.
A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions, and coloring characters built around emotions gives children an easy, natural way to talk about feelings while they work.
Inside Out is a 2015 Disney and Pixar film that gives each of the five core emotions its own character living inside a young girl’s mind, and that design is part of why the film has become such a popular subject for coloring.
How to Color Inside Out Pages Well
- Joy: bright blue hair, glowing golden-yellow skin, and a teal dress, kept vivid and light throughout.
- Sadness: deep blue skin and hair, with a slouched, muted color palette that matches her low-energy design.
- Anger: brick-red skin, a short flat-top, and a necktie, colored hot and solid to match his temper.
- Fear: pale lavender-grey skin, a thin, nervous frame, and a purple sweater vest.
- Disgust: bright green skin and hair, with a scarf and outfit in a contrasting pink or magenta.
