About Stranger Things
Stranger Things is a Netflix original science fiction horror series created by Matt and Ross Duffer – known as the Duffer Brothers – which premiered on July 15, 2016. Set primarily in the fictional small town of Hawkins, Indiana, beginning in November 1983, the series follows a group of middle school friends whose lives are upended when one of them disappears, and a girl with extraordinary powers emerges from a secret government laboratory. The show is built around a strong 1980s nostalgia aesthetic drawn from the era’s defining films, television, and pop culture – Steven Spielberg, Stephen King, and John Carpenter are all visible influences – combined with supernatural horror, government conspiracy, and the social dynamics of adolescence.
The series has run across four seasons: Season 1 (2016), Season 2 (2017), Season 3 (2019), and Season 4 (2022), with Season 5 announced as the final chapter. Each season expands the mythology of the Upside Down – a parallel dark dimension that exists alongside Hawkins, inhabited by creatures that bleed into the human world through “gates” torn open by Eleven’s psychic abilities. Season 4 revealed that the Upside Down’s monster hierarchy traces back to a single individual: Henry Creel / One / Vecna, a human with psychic abilities who became the series’ overarching villain.
Character Guide
Eleven (real name Jane Hopper) is the series’ central character and the most represented in this collection, with approximately 25 dedicated tiles spanning her appearances across every season. She is played by Millie Bobby Brown and is defined visually by two distinct phases: her Season 1 shaved-head appearance – no hair, pale skin, wearing a pink dress and later a Hawkins Middle School t-shirt, with a distinctive bloody nose that appears whenever she uses her telekinetic powers – and her longer brown hair appearance from Seasons 2–4 as she integrates into normal life in Hawkins and later moves to California. In Season 3, she adopts a more colorful, 80s-influenced wardrobe with Max. By Season 4, her hair is medium-length, natural dark brown in a more mature style.
The Eleven tiles span all these phases: Eleven season 1, Eleven Stranger Things 2, Eleven from Stranger Things 3, Eleven Stranger Things season 3, and Stranger Things Eleven cover the different visual periods. Scene-specific tiles – Eleven with supernatural powers, Eleven can turn trucks over with the power of thought, Eleven opened the gate and allowed Demogorgon to get out, Eleven in the forest – capture her in action contexts. Chibi Eleven Stranger Things, Chibi Eleven in Stranger Things, and Chibi Eleven Stranger Things (the December 2021 tile) cover the chibi art style versions. Friends Don’t Lie Eleven references the key Season 1 phrase from her friendship with Mike. Eleven Eating Ice Cream and Eleven in a ghost costume – which depicts the iconic sheet ghost costume she wears in Season 1 when Mike takes her trick-or-treating – are among the lighter, more accessible tiles in the collection. Jane Hopper, or better known as Eleven, and you can color the other half of Jane Hopper yourself use her formal adopted name.
Mike Wheeler is the group’s de facto leader – the one who first found Eleven and the driving voice of the group’s adventures. He has dark brown/black hair, a slightly nervous intensity in most scenes, and is almost always depicted with either his walkie-talkie, his bicycle, or in the context of interacting with Eleven. Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler talking on the phone are the dedicated character tiles for Mike using his character name. The tiles named “Finn Wolfard Stranger Things” and “Finn Wolfard – Mike Wheeler” show Mike in his character design – note that these use the actor’s name (incorrectly spelled – the correct spelling is Finn Wolfhard) rather than the character name, which will be addressed in the tile fixes below.
Dustin Henderson has the deepest individual tile coverage of the male kids after the Eleven collection – six dedicated pages: Dustin Henderson, Dustin Henderson from Stranger Things, Dustin from Stranger Things, Dustin From Stranger Things, Dustin in Stranger Things, and Dustin Stranger Things. Dustin is immediately recognizable by his curly brown hair, his signature baseball cap (most commonly the blue cap he wears in Season 1), and his distinctive wide smile. He is the most expressively comedic of the main group, which gives his coloring pages a range of emotional tone not always present in the other kids’ pages.
Lucas Sinclair has three dedicated pages: Lucas Sinclair, Lucas Stranger Things, and Lucas From Stranger Things. In Season 1, Lucas is recognizable by the red bandana or headband he frequently wears, his athletic build relative to the other boys, and his skeptical-but-loyal personality. His look evolves across the seasons as he grows older.
Will Byers – the child whose disappearance triggers the entire series – has three dedicated tiles: Will Byers with a walkie-talkie (capturing his Season 1 appearance as the missing child), Will Byers Matured (a later-season depiction showing him older), and Will and the Demogorgon (a scene composition showing Will facing the Season 1 monster). Will has brown hair, a quieter and more withdrawn appearance than the other boys, and is often depicted with art supplies or a walkie-talkie.
Max Mayfield, introduced in Season 2, has a single dedicated tile: Max from Stranger Things. She is immediately identifiable by her red hair – the most distinctive hair color of any character in the show – and her frequent association with her skateboard and Walkman. Max’s red hair makes her one of the easiest characters to color correctly with minimal reference, as the vivid red reads immediately against her pale skin and is consistently depicted across all official art.
Jim Hopper – Hawkins’ Police Chief and Eleven’s eventual adoptive father – has a single dedicated tile: Jim Hopper. He is recognizable by his broad build, brown hair and beard, police uniform (khaki/tan with a badge), and his signature tan broad-brimmed police hat. His coloring is warm and natural – brown hair, tan skin, the khaki uniform – with the blue-gray police badge as the most saturated element.
Steve Harrington evolves from antagonist in Season 1 to fan-favorite protagonist by Season 2, accumulating two dedicated tiles: Steve Harrington Stranger Things and Steve Stranger Things 2. Steve’s defining visual feature across all seasons is his voluminous, perfectly styled dark brown hair – the series’ writers and fan community alike treat it as its own character element. In Season 3, he and Robin wear the blue-and-white nautical Scoops Ahoy ice cream shop uniforms at Starcourt Mall, which appears in the Stranger Things Scoops Troop tile. Robin Buckley has a dedicated tile (Robin Buckley) and appears alongside Steve in the Robin and Steve duo tile – she is characterized by a sharp, observant expression, medium-length brown hair, and the same Scoops Ahoy uniform context.
Billy Hargrove, Max’s antagonistic older stepbrother, introduced in Season 2 and who becomes a significant figure in Season 3, has a single dedicated tile: Billy Stranger Things. He has bleached blonde hair styled in a late-80s feathered look, and is typically depicted in a more aggressive or intense pose than the other human characters.
The Monsters: Demogorgon and the Upside Down
The Demogorgon is the most represented non-human subject in the collection, with eight dedicated tiles: Demogorgon, Demogorgon Stranger Things, The Demogorgon, The Demogorgon Stranger Things, Demogorgon Monster, Demogorgon in Stranger Things, Demogorgon From Stranger Things, and Stranger Things Demogorgon. The Demogorgon is Season 1’s primary threat – a tall, bipedal creature with no visible eyes and a face that opens like a multi-petaled flower to reveal a circular arrangement of teeth, giving it a radially symmetrical mouth structure rather than a conventional face. Its body is a uniform dark grayish-brown – the specific tone of dried, almost ashy dark brown – with no distinct markings or color variation across the body. The absence of eyes is the single most important visual detail to preserve in a Demogorgon coloring page: the face is defined entirely by the petal-like structures surrounding the central mouth, with no eye sockets, pupils, or irises present anywhere on the head.
The Will and the Demogorgon tile places Will in proximity to the monster, capturing a key narrative relationship from Season 1. Stranger Things Monster covers additional monster content. The ensemble tiles – Strangerthings – Willbyers, Jimhopper, Eleven, Lucas, Dustin, Mike, Demogorgon; The main characters from Stranger Things; Matured protagonists of Stranger Things; Stranger Things season 1; Chibi Stranger Things Characters; Chibi the characters in Stranger Things; Eleven, Will byers, Dustin, Mike; Eleven And friends from Stranger Things – place the characters in group compositions that give a broader view of the show’s cast at different points in the narrative.
Coloring Guide
Eleven’s hair across seasons is the most frequently miscolored element in the entire collection. Her hair is dark brown – specifically a natural, medium-dark brown with no particularly warm or cool bias. It is not black, not auburn, not blonde, and definitely not purple (which appears nowhere in her canonical appearance across any season). In Season 1 pages, her head is shaved, so the focus shifts to her skin (very pale, slightly warm), the pink dress or grey shirt she wears, and the blood that appears below her nose in power-use scenes (vivid dark red, appearing as a thin vertical streak from the left nostril). In Seasons 2–4, the growing brown hair becomes progressively longer and is her most identifiable feature.
Eleven’s power visual – the telekinetic effect present in tiles like Eleven with supernatural powers and Eleven can turn trucks over with the power of thought – is most effectively rendered through the environmental elements rather than Eleven herself: objects in motion, distortion lines, or the implied weight of the thing being moved rather than a specific color applied to Eleven’s body. Her expression in power-use scenes is one of intense physical strain – eyes sometimes closed, jaw clenched, veins sometimes visible at the temples.
Dustin’s cap is almost universally depicted as the same baseball cap across early pages. In Season 1 and Season 2, it is a medium blue cap worn forward. The cap color is a reliable identifier: if a page shows curly-haired Dustin, the cap anchors the palette’s first decision, and the rest of the outfit (typically earth tones, flannel, and Hawkins Middle School coloring) follows.
The Demogorgon palette requires a very restrained, near-monochromatic approach. The entire body is variations on dark grayish-brown – slightly warmer in the lighter surface areas, significantly darker in the recessed areas around the face petals and the undersides of the limbs. There is no bright color anywhere on the Demogorgon’s body. The effect of the monster’s design is created entirely through form and texture rather than color contrast, so coloring it with even a slightly unusual hue breaks the design immediately. Stay in the dark brown/gray range throughout, with the darkest values inside the open mouth area.
The Upside Down atmosphere – present in ensemble pages that depict scenes set in the parallel dimension – is characterized by a dark blue-black overall tone for the environment, with floating particle spores that can be rendered as very small pale dots or flecks against the dark background. Any surface that would be a normal color in the human world – tan wood floors, white walls, green grass – appears much darker and more desaturated in the Upside Down, with a blue-black cast layered over it. The vines and organic material that cover Upside Down surfaces are dark, almost black, with a slight brown bias. A page depicting the Upside Down should feel cold, dark, and suffocating in its color palette compared to the warmer, more saturated colors of the human world scenes.
Steve’s hair – the element that the show itself treats as an icon – is a dark brown with significant volume and styling. The key visual quality is not the specific shade of brown but the shape: it is voluminous, swept back and up, and maintains its sculptured quality even in action scenes. Coloring it at a consistent medium-dark brown throughout, slightly lighter at the peaks where light hits the styled surface, captures the characteristic look.
The Scoops Ahoy uniform (Steve and Robin in Season 3) is a distinctive nautical design: white base with blue sailor-style striping and trim, a red neckerchief, and a white paper-style sailor hat with blue band. This uniform is the clearest visual identifier for the Season 3 Steve and Robin pages and the Scoops Troop tile.
The 1983 Hawkins palette across human-world scenes is warm and slightly desaturated – the visual quality of 1980s photography with its slightly faded warm tones. Clothing in scenes set in human Hawkins should lean toward the earthy, flannel, and denim palette of mid-80s Midwestern America: burgundy, tan, olive, denim blue, and plaid patterns. The AV Club, the bikes, and the school settings all read as warm and grounded in contrast to the cold darkness of the Upside Down.
