Free Solar Opposites Coloring Pages: 16 printable PDF pages featuring an alien family who share one species and one skin tone, yet can’t agree on whether they even want to be on Earth. Nearly identical green-toned aliens whose personalities, not their palettes, are what actually divide them. All free, download PDF to print, or color online.
Unlike many ensemble casts where different species or factions wear different colors to signal their differences, Solar Opposites keeps its whole alien family in the same basic green-toned palette. Korvo, Yumyulack, and Jesse all share that same species coloring, which means none of the usual visual shortcuts apply here. There’s no costume hierarchy, no elemental code, no factional color split to lean on. Distinguishing one family member from another comes down entirely to expression, proportion, and small individual details rather than any difference in their underlying skin tone.
The pages are divided into two types. Family member pages, Korvo, Yumyulack, and Jesse, across solo and group compositions, reward careful attention to the small differences in proportion and expression that separate genuinely similar-looking characters. The Pupa, Gooblers, and Duke pages introduce the show’s stranger supporting elements, each calling for its own distinct treatment separate from the core family’s shared alien palette. The simpler solo pages suit younger fans; the detailed group and creature pages give older fans more to work through.
These pages work well at home or as fan art. These are fan-made coloring pages and are not official, licensed, or endorsed by Justin Roiland, Mike McMahan, Hulu, or any rights holder of Solar Opposites.
Quick Answer
Solar Opposites coloring pages are a free set of 16 printable PDFs and online coloring sheets featuring Korvo, Yumyulack, Jesse, The Pupa, The Duke, and the Gooblers. Because the alien family shares one underlying species palette rather than individual color schemes, recognizing each character through proportion and expression, not color, is the central coloring skill across the set.

What’s Inside Solar Opposites Coloring Pages
Korvo Pages
Korvo appears across the largest share of solo and group pages, including compositions with Jesse and with Yumyulack and a small robotic companion.
Coloring Korvo: his skin should be a muted, slightly cool green, consistent with the family’s shared alien coloring, with simple dark eyes and no hair. His anxious, perpetually stressed expression is where his personality actually lives, since his palette gives away nothing about his attitude toward Earth compared to the rest of his family. Keep his coloring identical across every page regardless of his mood; the visual variety in this set comes from posture and facial expression, not from any shift in his underlying tone.
Yumyulack Pages
Yumyulack appears in solo pages and in a group composition with Korvo and a small robotic snowman figure.
Coloring Yumyulack: as one of the family’s two children, his proportions should read slightly smaller and rounder than Korvo’s adult build, while sharing the same family green skin tone. His more mischievous, occasionally callous personality comes through in expression and pose rather than through any palette difference from the rest of the family, reinforcing the show’s central idea that this family looks alike but thinks very differently.
Jesse Pages
Jesse appears in solo pages and alongside Korvo in a duo composition.
Coloring Jesse: she shares the family’s consistent alien green tone, with proportions and styling distinguishing her as the second child rather than any unique coloring. Her more curious, earnest engagement with human culture, in contrast to Korvo’s resistance to it, is communicated entirely through her expressions and interactions on the page rather than through her underlying palette.
The Pupa Pages
The Pupa appears in a solo page and within the larger family group composition.
Coloring The Pupa: This creature is the family’s secret, a growing entity kept in their greenhouse as a backup plan should their mission on Earth fail. Its design should lean soft and rounded, with a pale, slightly luminous green or cream coloring that makes it look deceptively gentle for something representing such a serious contingency. The Pupa’s growth over the course of the story is part of its meaning, so treating its size and roundness with care, rather than rendering it as harsh or aggressive, captures the unsettling gap between its innocent appearance and its true significance.
The Duke and Gooblers Pages
The Duke appears on one solo page. The Gooblers appear together in a group page.
Coloring The Duke and the Gooblers: The Duke, leader of the small Goobler creatures living beneath the family’s home, suits a slightly more textured, earthy palette distinct from the smooth alien green of the main family, reflecting his separate origin and storyline. The Gooblers themselves work well in a range of small, varied warm browns and muted tones, since their visual interest as a group comes from collective texture and number rather than from any single dominant color.
General and Printable Pages
Several pages cover the series broadly, including an Alien Family composition and various printable label variants.
Coloring the general pages: approach these with the same consistent family green palette established across the core cast, since these pages typically show the family together rather than introducing any new design element to track.
Printable PDF and Online Solar Opposites 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 markers or colored pencils suited to subtle tonal work, and use the on-screen version when there is no printer nearby. The PDF holds the family’s simple, expressive linework cleanly on standard letter or A4 paper.
What These Pages Do
Solar Opposites builds its entire premise on a family that looks essentially identical in species and skin tone, then spends its runtime showing how differently each member feels about their situation. Most family casts vary costume or palette to help a colorist tell characters apart; here, Korvo, Yumyulack, and Jesse share the same green alien tone, leaving expression and proportion to do that identifying work instead. This set teaches shared species with divided loyalty: visual sameness and personality difference can coexist, and the coloring task is reading subtle individual cues rather than relying on an obvious palette split. The Pupa adds a second layer, since its soft appearance deliberately undersells what it represents within the family’s plans. That skill, distinguishing nearly identical figures through small detail rather than color contrast, applies to character lineup work and twin or sibling design.
The American Art Therapy Association recognizes that creative engagement with family dynamics where members share a background but diverge sharply in outlook offers meaningful material for processing the idea that closeness doesn’t require agreement. The alien family’s constant disagreement over whether to embrace or abandon Earth, despite their shared origin, gives the coloring pages a layer of relatable family tension beneath the science fiction premise. The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes that media exploring differing perspectives within a close family unit, even in an exaggerated comedic form, can support older teens and adults in reflecting on how shared identity and individual disagreement coexist in real families.
How to Color Solar Opposites Coloring Pages
These steps work for any page in the set, from a solo Korvo portrait to the full family group scenes.
Keep the entire family’s skin tone in the same muted green family across every page. Korvo, Yumyulack, and Jesse all share this base color, and varying it between characters would undercut the show’s central visual idea that this family looks alike despite thinking very differently.
Use proportion and expression as your primary identifying tools, not color. Korvo’s adult build and anxious expression, Yumyulack’s rounder child proportions and mischief, Jesse’s earnest curiosity, these are the details that tell the family apart, since their underlying palette won’t do that work for you.
Render The Pupa with soft, gentle tones despite knowing its true significance. A pale, luminous green or cream keeps the creature looking innocent and harmless, which is exactly the unsettling effect the design is going for. Avoid any harsher or more threatening coloring choices that would give away its real importance too early.
Give The Duke and the Gooblers a separate, earthier palette from the main family. Their warm browns and textured tones should read as visually distinct from the smooth alien green above ground, reinforcing that they belong to their own separate world beneath the house.
On group pages, resist introducing any new accent colors to help differentiate the family members. The temptation to give each character a slightly different shade works against the show’s whole point. Let small differences in size, posture, and facial expression carry that distinguishing work instead.
5 Creative Craft Ideas with Solar Opposites Coloring Pages
Family Resemblance Spot-the-Difference Card
Color a Korvo solo page and a Yumyulack solo page side by side on the same sheet, keeping both in identical green skin tones.
Circle three or four small differences in proportion or expression between the two with a fine marker, turning the page into a simple spot-the-difference activity. Takes about twenty minutes.
Pupa Growth Stage Strip
Color The Pupa at its current size on one small card, then sketch and color a slightly larger version on a second card to represent its ongoing growth.
Tape the two cards in sequence on a strip of paper to suggest a growth timeline, leaving space for a third stage to add later. Takes about fifteen minutes.
Goobler Swarm Cluster
Color several small Gooblers from the group page individually, each in a slightly different warm brown tone.
Cut each one out and cluster them together on a dark backing card to recreate the visual effect of a Goobler swarm beneath the house. Takes about twenty-five minutes.
Alien Family Group Photo Frame
Color the full Alien Family page, then cut a simple rectangular frame shape out of a separate piece of card.
Glue the frame around the edges of the colored family page to create a mock group photo display, as if the family posed for a portrait despite their constant disagreements. Takes about twenty minutes.
Korvo and Jesse Mood Flip Tag
Color a Korvo page showing his anxious expression and a Jesse page showing her more curious, open expression on opposite sides of the same small card.
Punch a hole at the top and add a string to make a flippable tag that contrasts the two characters’ very different attitudes toward the same situation. Takes about fifteen minutes.
FAQ About Solar Opposites Coloring Pages
Are these Solar Opposites coloring pages free, and can I color them online?
Yes. Every page is free, with no sign-in or payment required. Download the PDF to print at home, or color directly on screen in the browser.
Does the set include Terry, or mainly Korvo, Yumyulack, and Jesse?
This particular set focuses on Korvo, Yumyulack, and Jesse across solo and group pages, along with The Pupa, The Duke, and the Gooblers. Terry, the fourth core family member, does not appear among the pages currently available in this collection.
What is Solar Opposites?
Solar Opposites is an adult animated science fiction comedy created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan, streaming on Hulu. It follows an alien family who crash-land on Earth and must decide whether to embrace human life or continue their original plan to take over the planet, with each family member holding a different opinion on the matter. You can read more about Solar Opposites on Wikipedia.
Why do all four family members look so similar despite having such different personalities?
The show builds its entire comedic premise on a family that shares one species and skin tone but disagrees constantly about nearly everything else. Their nearly identical alien coloring is intentional: it means their very different attitudes toward Earth have to come through expression, behavior, and dialogue rather than through any visual coding in their appearance.
What colors should I use for Korvo and the alien family?
A muted, slightly cool green skin tone with simple dark eyes and no hair, kept completely consistent across Korvo, Yumyulack, and Jesse. Their family resemblance depends on this shared base color staying the same regardless of which character or mood a page shows.
What is the Pupa, and why does its size matter?
The Pupa is a creature the family raises in their greenhouse as a contingency plan, growing larger over the course of the story as a quiet, ongoing threat in the background of the show. It’s soft, pale, gentle coloring deliberately undersells its real significance, and its increasing size functions almost like a visual countdown within the series.
Are these official Solar Opposites coloring pages? No. They are fan-made coloring sheets for personal use. They are not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by Justin Roiland, Mike McMahan, Hulu, or any rights holder of Solar Opposites.
What are the Gooblers, and what color should they be?
The Gooblers are small creatures living beneath the family’s house, led by a character called The Duke. They work well in a range of warm browns and muted earthy tones, distinct from the smooth green of the alien family above ground, since their visual appeal comes from texture and number rather than a single dominant color.

For the final pass: keep the entire family’s skin tone in the same muted green across every page, use proportion and expression rather than color to tell family members apart, and render The Pupa with soft, gentle tones that undersell its real significance. Those three habits cover the most important coloring decisions across all 16 pages.
