Free Rick and Morty coloring pages: 60 printable PDF designs of Rick Sanchez, Morty Smith, and the wider cast of the Adult Swim series. Every page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.
Rick and Morty premiered on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network’s late-night programming block, on December 2, 2013, created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon. The series follows Rick Sanchez, a cynical and often reckless scientist, and his grandson Morty Smith, as they travel through alternate dimensions and planets using Rick’s portal gun. In the United States, the show is rated TV-14, with a number of individual episodes rated TV-MA for violence, language, and mature themes, so this collection is best suited to older fans of the series rather than very young children.
This collection spans Rick and Morty together, solo portraits of each character, the wider Smith family, and a handful of pages that cross over with other animated shows. These are fan-made coloring sheets and are not official products of Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, or Warner Bros. Discovery.
What Is Inside This Collection
The 60 pages are divided into four groups: Rick and Morty together, solo Rick portraits, solo Morty and Smith family pages, and supporting characters and crossovers.
Rick and Morty Together
The largest group shows the two leads together, on adventures through the lab, the portal, a new planet, or a Halloween scene. These pages capture the show’s core dynamic of Rick dragging a reluctant Morty into whatever comes next, and they work well as a set for a fan who wants to color through several different missions.
Solo Rick Portraits
A large group isolates Rick on his own, in the kitchen, holding his signature gun, choosing a jacket, or drawn in a simplified chibi style. These pages give the most detail on Rick’s specific design features, his wild hair, his portal gun, and his lab coat, without Morty also competing for space in the frame.
Solo Morty and Smith Family Pages
Several pages focus on Morty alone or on the wider Smith family: his sister Summer, his mother Beth, and a family group portrait. A couple of pages reference Evil Morty, a recurring antagonist version of the character, and the fan-favorite side character Mr. Poopybutthole appears in his own portrait as well.
Supporting Characters and Crossovers
The remaining pages cover supporting characters like Squanchy and King Flippy Nips, plus a small set of crossover pages placing Rick and Morty alongside characters from other animated shows, including a Dragon Ball crossover and a scene with Futurama’s Bender. These crossover pages stay in the grid as fan-made mashups without retelling either show’s story.
What Rick and Morty Coloring Pages Do
Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics lists structured coloring among the activities that build fine motor control across childhood and into the teen years, and the show’s exaggerated character proportions, Rick’s oversized head and hands, Morty’s rounder features, give an older colorist plenty of distinct shapes to work through in a single portrait.
Character design comparison. Because the collection includes both solo character studies and crossover pages placing Rick and Morty alongside characters from other shows, coloring through the set is a light, visual way to compare how different animated series approach proportion, color, and line weight.
Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal found that structured coloring sessions produced measurably lower anxiety than unstructured drawing. This benefit applies to older teen and adult colorists working through a detailed fan-art page just as much as it does to simpler subjects.
Low-pressure fan engagement. For older fans of the show, coloring a familiar character is a lower-effort way to engage with a favorite series between episodes or seasons, without requiring the reading or writing involved in other fan activities.
How to Color Rick and Morty Pages Well
- Rick’s hair and coat: use a cool Silver Gray for the hair and a pale Blue Gray for the lab coat, keeping both muted rather than bright so the character reads as older and more worn-in than Morty.
- Morty’s outfit: use a warm Yellow for the T-shirt and a cooler Denim Blue for the pants, the two colors most associated with his default look throughout the series.
- Skin tones: both Rick and Morty are typically shown with a pale, slightly sickly undertone rather than a warm, healthy pink, which fits the show’s exaggerated, slightly grotesque character style.
- Portal effects: if a page includes a dimensional portal, use a bright Lime Green core fading to a darker Forest Green edge, matching the show’s signature portal color.
- Crossover pages: keep each crossover character in that character’s own established color scheme rather than blending palettes, so it stays clear which character comes from which show.
5 Creative Craft Ideas With Rick and Morty Coloring Pages
1. Character Standee. Color a solo character page, glue it to cardboard or a cereal box, and cut around the outline to make a standing figure for a shelf or desk.
2. Portal Poster. Color several Rick and Morty scene pages, arrange them on a poster around a central portal image, and connect them with drawn portal lines to map out a fan’s favorite moments.
3. Character Bookmark Set. Color small portraits of Rick, Morty, and a couple of supporting characters, trim each into a bookmark shape, and laminate or tape them for a set.
4. Fan Art Gift Card. Color one of the character pages, fold a piece of cardstock in half, and glue the design to the front for a birthday card for a fellow fan of the show.
5. Crossover Comparison Poster. Color the Dragon Ball and Futurama crossover pages, arrange them side by side, and write a short note on what makes each crossover character’s design distinct.
