Free Kingdom Coloring Pages: 20+ printable PDF pages featuring Ri Shin, Ei Sei, Kyou Kai, Ou Ki, Shou Hei Kun, Kan Ki, Ka Ryo Ten, and Kou Yoku from the Kingdom anime, including a Ri Shin on horseback page, a Kan Ki archery page, and duo pages. All free, download PDF to print, or color online.
Kingdom is set in Warring States China, and its character designs reflect that setting directly. The armor worn by generals and soldiers follows Chinese military aesthetics of the period: layered bronze and leather plate construction, dark red lacquer accents, and earth-tone fabrics in deep brown, tan, and ochre. There is very little of the vivid fantasy color that most anime character designs use. The palette of this set is grounded and historical, dominated by bronze, dark leather, deep red, and the natural tones of ancient military equipment. Working with those tones requires a different approach than most anime coloring sets.
The pages are divided into two types. Solo character pages, Ri Shin in portrait and full body, Ei Sei in his royal bearing, Kyou Kai in her warrior stance, reward careful attention to armor and costume within the earth-tone palette. Action and duo pages, the horseback page, the archery page, and the duo pages with Ei Sei and Kou Yoku shift the focus to pose, movement, and the relationship between figures. General Kingdom pages suit younger fans and quick sessions; the detailed armor and action pages give older fans more to work through.
These pages work well at home or as anime fan art. These are fan-made coloring pages and are not official, licensed, or endorsed by the creators or rights holders of Kingdom.

What’s Inside Kingdom Coloring Pages
Ri Shin Pages
Ri Shin has the most pages in the set, covering him across portrait close-ups, a full-body standing pose, and an action page on horseback. Several pages are labeled with Kingdom or Kingdom Anime to indicate the series context.
Coloring Ri Shin: Ri Shin is a foot soldier and general-in-training, and his design reflects that: practical armor in bronze and dark leather, a headband or cloth wrapped around his hair, and an intensely focused expression. His skin is warm and tanned from years of outdoor campaigning. The armor should be approached as layered surfaces: bronze plate on top with a warm metallic sheen, dark brown or dark red leather straps and underlayers, and fabric in muted ochre or tan underneath. On the horseback page, the horse’s coloring, warm chestnut or grey, should sit in the same natural, earthy range as Ri Shin’s armor, so the two elements read as belonging together.
Ei Sei Pages
Ei Sei appears in several pages: solo portraits labeled Kingdom Anime Ei Sei and Ei Sei Kingdom Anime, a page with Ri Shin, and a standalone Ei Sei from the Kingdom Anime page.
Coloring Ei Sei: Ei Sei is the king of Qin and carries himself differently from the battlefield characters. His garments are more formal: deep royal reds, dark purples, or rich black, in the style of Chinese court dress rather than military armor. His expression is composed and intense, suggesting the political weight he carries. Where Ri Shin’s palette is warm and earthy, Ei Sei’s is deeper and more formal. On the duo page with Ri Shin, the contrast between Ri Shin’s rough bronze armor and Ei Sei’s formal court robes tells the story of their relationship in palette alone.
Kyou Kai, Ou Ki, and Individual Character Pages
Kyou Kai appears in two pages, showing her in her warrior design. Ou Ki appears on one page as the imposing Great General. Shou Hei Kun, Kan Ki, and Ka Ryo Ten each appear on one page, with Kan Ki shown in his distinctive archery pose.
Coloring Kyou Kai, Ou Ki, and the generals: Kyou Kai is a female warrior and former assassin with dark hair and an elegant, precise design that contrasts with the bulk of the male generals. Her armor is lighter and more fitted than Ri Shin’s heavy plate. Ou Ki is the opposite: massive, heavily armored, with the visual weight of someone who has won a hundred battles. His armor should read as the heaviest and most imposing in the set. Kan Ki on the bow page suits a dynamic coloring approach: the tension of the bowstring and the archery stance give the page energy that the portrait pages do not have. For all the generals, keep the armor in the bronze, leather, and dark red lacquer range that defines the series’ visual identity.
Duo and Group Pages
Three pages show characters together: Kou Yoku and Ri Shin, Ei Sei with Ri Shin, and general Kingdom pages that may show multiple characters or environmental elements.
Coloring duo pages: on the Kou Yoku and Ri Shin page, both characters wear similar bronze-and-leather military armor, so the differentiating elements are their hair, skin tone, and expression. On the Ei Sei and Ri Shin page, the palette contrast between court robes and field armor is the visual event: do not soften Ei Sei’s formal deep tones toward Ri Shin’s earthy warmth, and do not warm up Ei Sei’s palette to match the battlefield register. The gap between their two visual worlds is the point.
General and Printable Pages
Four general pages cover the series broadly: Kingdom, Kingdom Anime, Kingdom Free Printable, and Free Printable Kingdom Anime. These may show a key character, a battle scene, or a composition representing the series without focusing on a single named character.
Coloring the general pages: approach these with the same earth-tone military palette as the character pages: bronze, leather tan, dark red lacquer, ochre, and the cool grey-blue of sky or stone in any background areas. If a background is present, a pale warm sky or dusty atmospheric haze suits the historical setting better than a vivid blue.
Printable PDF and Online Kingdom 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 pencils, fine-liners, or markers, and use the on-screen version when there is no printer nearby. The PDF holds the series’ detailed armor linework and character expression cleanly on standard letter or A4 paper.
What These Pages Do
Kingdom is set in one of the most visually specific historical periods in any anime: Warring States China, where military design was shaped by bronze casting, lacquerwork, and the natural materials available to armies that lived in the field. The armor in this set is not fantasy armor: it is a rendering of how soldiers actually dressed in that period, and coloring it accurately means engaging with a palette of bronze, dark leather, deep red lacquer, ochre, and earth that most anime coloring sets never require. That discipline transfers to any illustration involving historical costume, traditional military design, or any scene where the palette needs to feel grounded in physical materials rather than expressive emotion.
The American Art Therapy Association notes that working with earth tones and natural color ranges, as opposed to vivid, high-contrast palettes, produces a particular quality of calm engagement that differs from the stimulating effect of bright colors. Kingdom’s bronze-and-leather palette is among the most consistently grounded in any anime coloring set, and the focused, methodical work of building convincing metallic and leather surfaces is the kind of slow, attentive creative activity that the Association identifies as genuinely restorative. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports creative activities that build historical awareness and imaginative engagement, and this set is one of the few in any anime coloring collection to place that imagination in a specific, accurately rendered historical context.
How to Color Kingdom Coloring Pages
These steps work for any page in the set, from a solo portrait to the horseback action page.
Build armor surfaces with three tones: bronze highlight, mid-bronze, and dark brown shadow. Bronze plate reads correctly when it has a warm metallic highlight at the raised edges, a mid-tone warm orange-brown for the main surface, and a deep dark brown or near-black in the recessed areas. A flat single-tone fill loses all the three-dimensional quality that makes armor feel heavy and solid.
Keep leather straps and underlayers in warm dark brown, distinct from the bronze plate above. The leather should read as a different material from the metal: matte rather than reflective, and slightly cooler in brown tone. If both the bronze and the leather read as the same brown, the armor loses its layered construction.
For Ei Sei’s court robes, use deep formal tones: dark red, deep purple, or rich black. His palette should sit in a different register from the battlefield characters: more saturated in the dark range, more formal and contained. The specific tone matters less than the distinction from the warm, earthy armor tones around him.
On the horseback page, keep the horse in warm natural tones that complement Ri Shin’s armor. A warm chestnut brown, a mid-grey, or a pale dun color all suit the historical setting. Avoid pure bright white or pure black for the horse, as both read as unnatural against the earthy palette of the rest of the page.
For any background sky or atmospheric element, use pale warm tones rather than vivid blue. A dusty pale ochre sky, a warm, hazy atmosphere, or a faded parchment-tan background suits the historical visual register better than a bright, clear blue, which would read as contemporary rather than ancient.

FAQ About Kingdom Coloring Pages
Are these Kingdom coloring pages free, and can I color them online?
Yes. Every page is free, with no account, email, or payment required. Download the PDF to print at home, or color the design on screen in the browser.
Which characters are included?
The set features Ri Shin, Ei Sei, Kyou Kai, Ou Ki, Shou Hei Kun, Kan Ki, Ka Ryo Ten, and Kou Yoku across solo portraits, action pages, and duo pages.
What is the Kingdom anime?
Kingdom is a manga by Yasuhisa Hara, serialized since 2006, and adapted into multiple anime seasons. It is set in Warring States China and follows Ri Shin, a formerly enslaved person who aims to become the greatest general under Heaven, and Ei Sei, the king of Qin, who seeks to unify China. You can read more about Kingdom on Wikipedia.
What colors should I use for the armor?
Kingdom armor follows Chinese Warring States military aesthetics: layered bronze plate with a warm metallic sheen, dark brown or dark red leather straps and underlayers, and muted ochre or tan fabric underneath. Build each armor surface with three tones: highlight, mid-tone, and deep shadow. Avoid bright or vivid colors for any armor element.
What is the difference between Ri Shin and Ei Sei’s palettes?
Ri Shin is a battlefield warrior whose palette is warm and earthy: bronze, leather, tan, and ochre. Ei Sei is the king of Qin, whose garments are formal court robes in deep red, dark purple, or rich black. On shared pages, keeping this distinction clear tells the story of who they are before the expressions do.
How do I color the horseback page?
Keep both Ri Shin and his horse in the same natural, earthy range: bronze and leather for the armor, warm chestnut or mid-grey for the horse. A pale, warm sky or dusty atmospheric background suits the historical setting. Avoid bright colors anywhere on the page so the earth-tone palette reads as a unified whole.
Are there pages for younger fans?
Yes. The general Kingdom and Kingdom Anime pages and the simpler portrait pages suit younger fans well. The detailed full-body armor pages and the horseback page are better suited to older fans who want more involved coloring work.
Who is Kyou Kai?
Kyou Kai is a warrior and former member of a clan of assassins who becomes one of Ri Shin’s most important allies. Her design is more precise and elegant than the heavy armor of the male generals, with lighter, fitted armor and a distinctive fighting style rooted in dance-like movement. She is one of the series’s most popular characters.
Are these official Kingdom coloring pages?
No. They are fan-made coloring sheets created by fans for personal use and are not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by the creators or rights holders of Kingdom.
What crafts can I make with these pages?

For the final pass: build armor in three tones of bronze and dark brown, keep Ei Sei’s court palette in deep formal tones distinct from Ri Shin’s battlefield warmth, and on background elements, use pale warm atmospheric tones rather than vivid blue. Those three habits cover the most important coloring decisions in the set.
