Free Kuromi coloring pages: 73 printable PDF designs featuring the Sanrio character alone, with her companion Baku, and in crossover scenes with other Sanrio characters. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.
Kuromi is a Sanrio character who first appeared in the 2005 anime series Onegai My Melody, introduced as My Melody’s rival. She is drawn as a white, rabbit-like character wearing a black hood with a pink skull emblem on the front. Her official personality combines a mischievous, tough exterior with a softer, more sentimental side, which shows up across this collection as a wide range of expressions, from Happy Kuromi and Curious Kuromi to Sad Kuromi Face and Angry Kuromi. Her companion character, Baku, a small tapir-like figure, appears alongside her in several designs. The collection also includes crossover pages with My Melody, Hello Kitty, and Hangyodon, along with seasonal versions for Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine’s Day.
At 73 pages, this is one of the larger character-specific collections on the site. Solo expression pages make a good starting point for learning Kuromi’s canonical colors, while the crossover and holiday pages offer more variety once that palette feels familiar.
What Is Inside This Collection

What Kuromi Coloring Pages Do
Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7. The simple, bold outlines used across most Kuromi pages give a young child clear, forgiving shapes to color within.
Color-based character recognition. Kuromi’s design relies on a small, consistent color set (white body, black hood, pink accent), which gives a child a clear, repeatable palette to learn and apply correctly across many different pages in the collection.
Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. Working through several Kuromi pages in one sitting, matching the same palette each time, supports that kind of steady, repetitive focus.
Practice naming emotions. Because this collection includes Kuromi shown happy, sad, angry, and curious, a parent or teacher can use the pages as a simple prompt for a child to name and talk about each expression while coloring it.
How to Color Kuromi Pages Well
- Body: Keep Kuromi’s body mostly white, and add a light Timberwolf-gray or pale Lavender only in shadow areas, such as under the hood and along the inner limbs, so the shape reads as rounded rather than flat.
- Hood: Color the hood a true, deep Black rather than a mid-tone gray. The hood is the strongest graphic element in her design, and a properly dark hood makes the pink skull emblem stand out clearly.
- Skull emblem and ear markings: Use a medium, warm pink such as Carnation Pink or Tickle Me Pink for both the hood emblem and the inner ear markings, keeping the two consistent across the page.
- Baku: Color Baku in soft, pale tones, such as light Tan or pale Peach, so his round, gentle look contrasts clearly with Kuromi’s sharper black-and-white design.
- My Melody crossover pages: Give My Melody’s hood a soft Carnation Pink and keep Kuromi’s emblem pink close to the same shade, which reads as the two characters belonging in the same scene.
- Holiday pages: For Halloween designs, lean into Black, Purple, and Orange for a natural fit with Kuromi’s usual palette. For Christmas designs, a Red-and-Black combination keeps her look consistent, rather than switching to a traditional red-and-green scheme.

What colors should I use for Kuromi’s design?

Why do some pages show Kuromi with witch or magic-themed items like a broomstick or book?
