About Liko and Pokémon Horizons
Liko (リコ in Japanese) is the female protagonist of Pokémon Horizons: The Series, the anime that launched in April 2023 in Japan and marked the most significant transition in the franchise’s animation history. For the first time in 25 years – since the original Pokémon anime began airing in 1997 – the series moved away from Ash Ketchum as its central character. Liko and her companion Roy take over as the new lead protagonists, opening a new chapter in the Pokémon anime universe aimed at both longtime fans and a new generation of viewers.
Pokémon Horizons: The Series is set in the Paldea region – the setting introduced in the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games – and follows Liko as she enrolls at the Naranja Academy, a prestigious Pokémon school. Her journey begins when she encounters a mysterious ancient Poké Ball and finds herself drawn into an adventure far larger than a standard Pokémon training story. Unlike the standalone episodic structure of earlier Pokémon anime, Horizons uses a more serialized narrative format with ongoing story arcs that build across episodes – a structure that has appealed strongly to older fans who grew up with Ash but now want something with greater narrative depth.
Liko’s character is defined by curiosity, sensitivity, and a genuine desire to understand and connect with Pokémon rather than simply battle with them. She is introspective and sometimes uncertain-a deliberate contrast to Ash’s relentless confidence, which gives her a distinct, arguably more relatable quality for many viewers. Her relationship with Sprigatito, her partner Pokémon, is central to her character arc across the series.
Liko’s Design: The Canonical Color Palette
Liko has one of the most carefully constructed visual designs of any Pokémon anime protagonist – her colors and outfit both reflect her personality and create an immediate visual connection to Sprigatito, her Grass-type partner.
Hair: Liko’s most distinctive feature is her yellow-green hair – a bright, warm lime-green that sits between yellow and green on the color wheel. This is not a muted sage or a cool teal-green, but a vivid, slightly warm lime. Her hair is worn in a mid-length style with slightly wavy texture, often shown with a small clip or hair accessory. The bright lime-green of her hair immediately signals her connection to the Grass type before any other context is provided.
Eyes: Her eyes are a medium green – slightly cooler and more saturated than her hair but in the same green family, providing cohesion across her color scheme. The irises have the standard anime multi-tone structure: a darker outer ring, a lighter inner iris, and a white highlight catch-light in the upper portion.
Outfit – top: Liko wears a white base layer – a short-sleeved shirt or jacket – with green accents and trim. The green used for her clothing accents matches approximately her eye color – a medium, slightly warm green rather than the vivid lime of her hair. A characteristic element is the green ribbon or bow detail at the neckline, which also echoes Sprigatito’s design language (Sprigatito has a leaf-like collar/bow element that mirrors Liko’s).
Outfit – bottom and shoes: Her bottom and shoes vary across the series and different depicted scenes, but typically use white and green colors consistent with the overall color scheme. Her shoes follow the same white-with-green-accents pattern as the rest of her outfit.
The Liko-Sprigatito color connection: One of the most intentional aspects of Liko’s design is its mirroring of her partner Pokémon’s palette. Both use a combination of lime-green/yellow-green and white as their dominant colors, with darker green accents. This visual rhyming between trainer and partner is a design principle across Pokémon that is particularly clear in Liko’s case.
About Sprigatito – Liko’s Partner Pokémon
Sprigatito (スピカタ, Sprigatito) is the Grass-type starter Pokémon from the Paldea region, introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet (2022). It is classified as the Grass Cat Pokémon – a small, bipedal cat with grass-based design elements. Sprigatito is Liko’s partner and the Pokémon that appears alongside her in every Liko-and-Sprigatito tile in this collection.
Sprigatito’s design: The body is covered in light yellow-green fur – slightly paler than Liko’s hair, with a softer, more muted tone that reads as very light lime-green. The face features cream-white or very pale green fur around the mouth and on the inner face, with medium-green ears that have slightly darker inner markings. The eyes are bright, vivid green with a characteristic wide, expressive look. A defining design element is the leafy collar or bow around Sprigatito’s neck – a cluster of overlapping green leaf shapes that give the impression of a plant-based accessory while being part of its actual anatomy. The paw pads and nose are slightly warmer, more pink-adjacent.
Sprigatito’s evolution line: Sprigatito evolves into Floragato (a more bipedal, acrobatic cat design using a vine-based yo-yo as its tool) and then into Meowscarada (a tall, elegant magician-themed Grass/Dark-type cat with a dramatic cloak and mask). In Pokémon Horizons, Liko’s Sprigatito’s evolution arc is a significant narrative element, making Sprigatito-stage pages particularly meaningful to fans who follow the series closely.
Coloring Sprigatito:
The body fur uses light yellow-green – the pale, slightly warm lime that reads as the lighter end of the Grass-type color family. Apply this across the main body, keeping coverage light and slightly uneven to suggest fur texture. The inner face uses very pale cream – almost white with just a hint of warm yellow. The ear interiors and the leafy collar use medium green – more saturated and slightly cooler than the body fur. The eyes are vivid, bright green – the most saturated green in the entire design. The leaf collar benefits from slight variation across individual leaves: alternate between medium green and slightly deeper green on adjacent leaves to create the layered, overlapping quality of actual leaf clusters.
About Roy – Liko’s Companion
Roy is the male co-protagonist of Pokémon Horizons: The Series, traveling alongside Liko throughout the series. His partner Pokémon is Fuecoco, the Fire-type starter from the Paldea region. Roy and Liko’s relationship is that of equals and friends rather than rivals – the series frames them as a complementary duo whose different personalities and battling approaches make them stronger together.
Roy’s design: Roy is immediately distinguishable from Liko through his warm color palette: Liko uses green and white; Roy uses orange-red and white. His most striking feature is his bright red-orange hair – fully saturated, warm, and vivid, reflecting his association with Fuecoco’s Fire type. His outfit features orange-red accents on a white base, mirroring the visual rhyming principle between the trainer and partner Pokémon in Liko’s design.
In the duo tiles (Roy and Liko, Liko and Roy, Pokemon Coloring Page, Roy and Liko of Pokemon Images to Color, Roy and Liko Pokemon to Color), the warm-cool contrast between Roy’s red-orange palette and Liko’s yellow-green palette creates a natural compositional balance. These duo pages are among the most visually interesting in the collection, precisely because of this complementary palette dynamic.
Fuecoco (Roy’s partner) is a Fire-type starter with a vivid red body, cream-white face and belly, and yellow markings. In any tile that includes Fuecoco alongside Roy and Liko/Sprigatito, the full four-character color grouping – green/white (Liko), lime-green (Sprigatito), red-orange/white (Roy), and red/cream/yellow (Fuecoco) – creates a warm-versus-cool dynamic that is one of the most visually satisfying palette pairings in recent Pokémon design.
Coloring Guide: The Full Palette
Liko’s color priorities in order of importance: The single most important coloring decision for any Liko page is her hair – the vivid lime-yellow-green that is her defining visual feature. Get the hair right, and the rest of the design falls into place. A Liko with the correct lime-green hair is immediately recognizable; one with generic green hair reads as a different character.
Color matrix for trainer duo pages:
| Element | Color | Notes |
| Liko hair | Lime/yellow-green | Vivid, warm – between yellow and green |
| Liko eyes | Medium green | Slightly cooler than hair |
| Liko outfit | White + medium green accents | Matching eye color for accents |
| Sprigatito body | Light yellow-green | Paler, softer than Liko’s hair |
| Sprigatito face | Very pale cream | Almost white |
| Sprigatito collar | Medium green | Most saturated green in design |
| Roy hair | Vivid red-orange | Warm, fully saturated |
| Roy outfit | White + red-orange accents | Mirror of Liko’s white-plus-accent |
| Fuecoco body | Vivid red | Similar hue to Roy’s hair |
| Fuecoco face | Cream-white | Same family as Sprigatito’s face |
The chibi variant (Chibi Liko Pokemon Coloring Page): Chibi-style art uses simplified, exaggerated proportions – larger head relative to body, simplified facial features, reduced clothing detail. For the chibi page specifically, hair color becomes even more important as a proportion of the total design area because the head is disproportionately large. Apply the lime-green hair first, letting it set the page’s dominant color before adding the smaller accents.
Background options for Liko pages: The series is set primarily in the Paldea region – a setting inspired by Iberian Peninsula landscapes with warm, Mediterranean color tones, including terracotta rooftops, cream and orange building facades, and vivid blue skies. A warm terra-cotta or soft blue sky background behind Liko pages reads as naturally Horizons-appropriate. For solo portrait pages, a simple gradient of pale lime-yellow (near the figure) fading to sky blue (at the outer edges) creates a background that echoes the Grass-type theme without requiring detailed scene work.

The tone is also slightly more narrative-driven than earlier series, appealing to both younger children and older fans.
