Free Subway Surfers Coloring Pages: 17 printable PDF designs featuring solo character portraits, character duos, and group scenes, and printable sheets. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.
Subway Surfers is an endless runner mobile game developed by SYBO Games and Kiloo, first released in May 2012. Players guide the game’s main character, Jake, and his friends through a colorful, cartoon-style subway system in a playful chase scenario, dodging trains and obstacles along the way. Since January 2013, the game has run on a “World Tour” theme, shifting its setting to a different real-world city roughly every three to four weeks, a concept that has kept the game refreshed for well over a decade. Subway Surfers became the first game to cross one billion downloads on the Google Play Store in March 2018 and was later recognized as the most downloaded mobile game of the 2010s.
This collection spans 17 pages, grouped into solo character portraits, character duos, and group scenes, and printable sheets. The coloring angle ranges from simple standalone characters to fuller scenes with two or more friends together.
What’s Inside This Collection
The 17 designs group into three categories, from solo portraits to group scenes.
Solo Character Portraits
Five pages show Jake in a standalone pose, including happy and funny expressions. Use Jake’s signature red cap and orange-and-blue outfit as the anchor color scheme across every solo page, so he stays instantly recognizable no matter the pose or expression.
Character Duo and Group Scenes
Five pages pair Jake with his friends Fresh and Tricky, giving colorists a fuller cast to work with in one composition. Give Fresh and Tricky their own distinct color palettes, separate from Jake’s red and blue, so each character reads clearly even when they’re sharing the page.
Printable and Free Sheets
Seven pages are formatted as general printable sheets, useful for a quick, single-session print at home or in the classroom. These simpler line-art versions work well with a bold, confident pass of each character’s core color rather than heavy shading or detail.
What Subway Surfers Coloring Pages Do
Small accessories that need a careful hand. Each character carries distinct details: Jake’s cap and headphones, Fresh’s afro and jacket, and reproducing these small features cleanly takes more precise linework than a plain figure outline. The American Academy of Pediatrics ties that kind of small-scale, deliberate coloring work to fine motor skill development in children ages 2 through 7.
A staggering amount of virtual travel is packed into one game. Since 2013, Subway Surfers has shifted its setting to a new real-world city roughly every three to four weeks without pause, meaning the game has visited far more places than most people will travel to in a lifetime, a genuinely fun bit of trivia to sit with while coloring a character from one of the most downloaded mobile games ever made.
A calming activity paired with a fast-paced favorite. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal found that structured coloring sessions produced measurable reductions in anxiety, and there’s a nice contrast in bringing that same slow, steady focus to characters from a game built around speed and quick reflexes.
Group scenes that reward consistency. Because several pages pair two or three characters together, colorists get useful practice keeping each character’s color scheme distinct and consistent across a busier composition.
How to Color Subway Surfers Pages Well
- Jake: Use Blue for his shirt and Orange for accents like his cap, matching his signature in-game look.
- Fresh: Use Purple or dark tones for clothing, with a distinctive hairstyle color that sets him apart from Jake.
- Tricky: Use Pink as the signature color, since this is closely associated with the character across the game’s artwork.
- Skin tones: Vary skin tones naturally across the different characters to reflect the game’s diverse cast.
- Backgrounds: Keep backgrounds simple with Gray or Blue tones to suggest a subway or city setting without distracting from the characters themselves.
- Group scenes: Keep each character’s individual color scheme consistent with their solo portrait, even when they appear together, so the group stays easy to read at a glance.
