What Maes Hughes Coloring Pages Do

A study in structured, uniform detail. Hughes’ military uniform includes clean lines, buttons, and his signature glasses, and coloring each element accurately means treating them as separate, precise shapes rather than one flat outfit. The American Academy of Pediatrics points to structured coloring as a reliable way to build fine motor control, and following those individual uniform lines is good, repeatable practice for that kind of precision.

A character defined by proud parenthood. Hughes is well known for his enthusiastic love of sharing photos and stories about his daughter Elicia, and the family-themed pages in this set reflect that same warm, doting side of his personality.

Calm focus through structured, muted tones. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions, and Hughes’ orderly military uniform in muted blues and khakis invites steady, even shading that supports that same calming effect.

A theme of loyal friendship. The pages pairing Hughes with Roy Mustang reflect a close, trusted friendship at the center of several scenes in the series, giving fans a simple, relatable theme about loyalty to think about while coloring.

How to Color These Pages Well

• Uniform: Use a muted Navy or Slate Blue for the military uniform, keeping the lines and buttons crisp and evenly spaced.
• Glasses: Color the frames a simple Black or Dark Brown, keeping the lenses clear or lightly shaded to avoid hiding his expression.
• Hair: Use a Dark Brown for his hair, keeping the style short and neat to match his tidy, professional look.
• Family scenes: Dress Elicia in soft Pink or Yellow tones to create a warm contrast against Hughes’ more muted uniform colors.
• Roy Mustang’s design: On paired pages, use a slightly different uniform shade or accent color for Roy Mustang to keep the two characters visually distinct.
• Background: Keep backgrounds simple and light so the uniform detail and facial expression remain the clear focal point of each page.

5 Creative Craft Ideas

1. Family photo frame

Color the Maes Hughes and Elicia page and mount it inside a small paper frame decorated with simple patterns. This nods to Hughes’ well-known habit of proudly showing off family photos.

2. Glasses craft

Cut a simple glasses shape from black pipe cleaner or cardstock and rest it on top of a colored solo portrait for a small, three-dimensional accent. This highlights one of his most recognizable features.

3. Maes Hughes bookmark

Trim a simple solo portrait into a tall strip and laminate it, or cover it in clear contact paper. A short ribbon through a punched hole finishes it off.

4. Greeting card

Glue a colored Hughes page onto a folded card for a birthday or thank-you note for a fellow fan. A short handwritten note about a favorite scene adds a personal touch.

5. Friendship portrait display

Color a page featuring Hughes and Roy Mustang together and mount it in a simple frame or on cardstock as a small display piece. This highlights their close friendship in one finished artwork.
