JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is rated for older teens and adults and contains graphic violence and mature themes throughout its run. These 37 coloring pages feature the franchise’s character designs and are intended for fans already familiar with Hirohiko Araki’s manga. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.
What Is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure?
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a manga by Hirohiko Araki, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since January 1, 1987, one of the longest-running series in the magazine’s history, and currently in its ninth part. The story follows successive generations of the Joestar family, each protagonist nicknamed JoJo, fighting supernatural threats first with Ripple energy and later with Stands, psychic manifestations of a person’s fighting spirit introduced in Part 3. Araki paints the manga’s color pages by hand in expressive, non-naturalistic palettes, meaning there is no single canonical color for most characters across official publications.
What’s Inside This Collection
Jonathan Joestar, Part 1
The original JoJo, a Victorian English gentleman whose Ripple ability, an energy that mimics sunlight, makes him one of only two protagonists to fight without a Stand.
Jotaro Kujo and Star Platinum, Part 3
The most globally recognized JoJo is defined by his long black coat and cap, which visually merge into a single dark mass. His Stand, Star Platinum, is a close-range powerhouse rendered in deep purple and gold.
Giorno Giovanna, Part 5
Dio Brando’s biological son and the protagonist of Golden Wind, identifiable by his ornate fitted suit, golden hair with small rolls, and beetle-shaped brooch. His Stand, Gold Experience, can imbue life into inanimate objects.
Jean-Pierre Polnareff and Noriaki Kakyoin, Part 3
Polnareff, a French Stand user with elaborate silver-white hair, wields Silver Chariot, an armored fencing Stand rendered in metallic silver. Kakyoin has vivid red hair and commands Hierophant Green, a flexible emerald-colored Stand.
Dio Brando
The Joestar family’s immortal antagonist across multiple parts, rendered in vivid yellow-gold with pale, cool-toned skin, wielding the time-stopping Stand The World.
Jolyne Cujoh, Part 6
Jotaro’s daughter and the only female protagonist in the mainline series, whose Stand Stone Free lets her unravel her body into a thin string. Her design uses green and white with butterfly motifs.
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 detailed costume work on these pages provides motivated fine motor practice for the older teen and adult audience this collection is intended for.
A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. Because JoJo’s color language has no single correct answer, working through each page’s palette becomes a genuinely creative problem rather than a matching exercise.
How to Color JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Pages Well
- Commit to non-naturalistic color: the source material rewards bold, unexpected palettes over conventional realistic choices, since Araki himself paints the same character in different colors across official releases.
- Stand and user contrast: a Stand’s palette is designed to echo or contrast with its user, Star Platinum’s purple and gold against Jotaro’s black, so lean into that relationship when coloring a Stand page.
- Dio should read as maximally vivid: the warmest, most saturated gold available, since restraint works against his character.
- Jotaro’s coat-cap merger: apply the same value of black or very dark navy to both elements without variation, so the two pieces read as one continuous dark mass.
- Group pages: identify each character’s palette, and where their color territories border each other before starting, so adjacent characters stay clearly distinct.
5 Creative Craft Ideas With JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Coloring Pages
1. Part-by-Part Timeline Display
Color each character page and mount them on a horizontal timeline from the 1880s through the 2010s in their chronological positions, drawing connecting lines between characters who appear across multiple parts.
2. Stand User and Stand Comparison Cards
Color a character page and its matching Stand page as a pair, then write the Stand’s name, ability, and the visual relationship between user and Stand between the two images.
3. Araki Color Study
Print three copies of the same character page and color each in a different palette, anime canonical colors, a manga color version, and an original invention, then mount all three side by side, labeled accordingly.
4. Villain Versus Hero Confrontation Display
Color the Dio and Jotaro duo page along with solo pages of each character, then mount the duo at the center with the solos flanking it to capture the mirrored user-and-Stand, hero-and-antagonist structure of Part 3.
5. Pose Reference Sticker Set
Print several character pages at reduced size, color each in its chosen palette, and apply clear adhesive before cutting for a portable sticker collection of the franchise’s signature poses.
