Free The Amazing World of Gumball Coloring Pages: 60+ printable PDF pages spanning a family drawn in flat, traditional 2D, even though the wider world around them mixes 3D animation, puppetry, and live photography. The coloring task stays consistently simple and graphic rather than shifting between media. All free, download PDF to print, or color online.
Gumball’s show is built on a premise that no other coloring set in this collection shares. Every character in Elmore is drawn using a different artistic medium depending on what kind of thing they represent, and the Watterson family happens to be rendered in flat, hand-drawn 2D. That choice isn’t incidental; it’s part of how the show signals who belongs to which category of object in its world. The pages here all draw from that 2D family register, which means flat, clean, evenly filled color works better than shading or texture meant to suggest three-dimensional form.
The pages are divided into two types. Gumball and Darwin pages, covering the largest share of the set across many expressions and actions, reward committing fully to flat, simple fills rather than adding depth or gradient. Richard, Nicole, Anais, and supporting character pages extend that same flat treatment to the rest of the family and their friends. The simpler expression pages suit younger fans; the action and group scenes 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 Ben Bocquelet, Cartoon Network, or any rights holder of The Amazing World of Gumball.

What’s Inside The Amazing World of Gumball Coloring Pages
Gumball Pages
Gumball appears across the largest share of the entire set, covering a wide range of expressions, actions, and situational poses.
Coloring Gumball: he is a blue cat with a simple, rounded body and large, expressive eyes, and his design works best with a single flat blue fill across his whole body rather than any tonal variation. His sneakers, often visible in action poses, provide a small accent in white or another contrasting color against his blue fur. Keeping his blue completely flat and consistent across every expression, whether he’s Happy, Scared, or Laughing, matches the show’s own deliberately simple, graphic treatment of the family.
Darwin Pages
Darwin appears across a large number of pages, often alongside Gumball, in expressions ranging from Smiling and Adorable to Running and Flying.
Coloring Darwin: he is an orange-gold goldfish who gained legs and became part of the family, and his design should carry the same flat, uncomplicated fill treatment as Gumball. Keep his orange warm and even, with simple black-outlined fins and tail rather than any attempt at fish-scale texture, since the show’s flat 2D style for this family never reaches for that kind of detail.
Richard Watterson Pages
Richard, Gumball, and Darwin’s father appear across several solo pages, including Happy, Funny, Cute, and a Running variant.
Coloring Richard: he is a pink, rounder, heavier-set cat than Gumball, and his larger proportions are as much a part of his identity as his color. Keep his pink flat and consistent, resisting any urge to add shading that would suggest a more three-dimensional or sculpted form, since his comedic, laid-back design depends on that same simple graphic treatment as the rest of the family.
Nicole Watterson Pages
Nicole, the family’s mother, appears across several pages, including Thinking, Angry, and a duo page with Penny.
Coloring Nicole: she is a deep blue cat, noticeably more saturated and serious in color than Gumball’s brighter blue, reflecting her role as the family’s more grounded, no-nonsense authority figure. Keeping her blue distinctly darker than Gumball’s helps the two read clearly as separate characters despite sharing the same basic blue-cat design language.
Anais Watterson Pages
Anais, the youngest Watterson sibling, appears across several pages, including Pretty, Happy, and a page with a toy.
Coloring Anais: She is a small pink rabbit, the only family member who isn’t a cat, which already sets her visually apart from her brothers and parents. Keep her pink warm and bright, with simple flat ears and a small, neat bow if visible, matching the same uncomplicated fill approach used throughout the rest of the family.
Tobias, Penny, Carmen, and Banana Joe Pages
Several supporting characters from Gumball’s school appear in individual pages, including Tobias, Penny, Carmen, and Banana Joe.
Coloring the supporting cast: these characters each have their own distinct, simple color identity, separate from the Watterson family’s cat-and-rabbit palette, and should be colored with the same flat, graphic treatment established throughout the set. Each one’s signature color, whatever it is on the page, should stay even and uncomplicated, rather than introducing shading that the rest of the set avoids.
Printable PDF and Online The Amazing World of Gumball 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 flat, even fills, and use the on-screen version when there is no printer nearby. The PDF holds the family’s simple, rounded linework cleanly on standard letter or A4 paper.
What These Pages Do
Gumball’s wider show mixes completely different artistic mediums in one world, but the Watterson family itself is always rendered in flat, traditional 2D, and that choice is deliberate. Coloring this set teaches medium-consistent flat fill: this family’s specific 2D design calls for clean, even color without the shading a more dimensional character elsewhere in the same universe might receive. Gumball’s blue, Darwin’s orange, and Richard’s pink all work because they stay completely flat, never reaching for the depth cues used elsewhere in the show’s mixed-media world. That discipline, matching technique to a medium’s own internal logic rather than one universal rendering style, applies to multimedia projects and brand systems that intentionally mix visual styles. From here, cartoon coloring pages are the parent hub, with Steven Universe coloring pages and Gravity Falls coloring pages as the nearest Cartoon Network siblings.
The American Art Therapy Association recognizes that creative engagement with simple, clean, low-detail visual styles offers an accessible and low-pressure entry point into coloring, particularly valuable for colorists who find more complex shading or texture work intimidating. The Watterson family’s deliberately flat design gives this set a gentle, approachable quality distinct from more technically demanding character sets elsewhere in this collection. The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes that family-centered comedic media, even when built around exaggerated or absurd situations, support children’s understanding of everyday family dynamics, sibling relationships, and humor as a way of processing ordinary frustrations.
How to Color The Amazing World of Gumball Coloring Pages
These steps work for any page in the set, from a solo Gumball portrait to the full family group scenes.
Apply every character’s base color as one flat, even fill. Gumball’s blue, Darwin’s orange, Richard’s pink, Anais’s lighter pink. None of these should carry shading or gradient, since the family’s entire design depends on that simplicity.
Keep Nicole’s blue distinctly darker and more saturated than Gumball’s. This deliberate contrast between mother and son helps both characters read clearly, even though they share the same basic blue-cat design language.
Use sneakers, bows, and small accessories as your only accent colors. These small details provide the set’s main opportunities for a secondary color, and they work best kept simple and clean rather than elaborate.
Resist adding texture to Darwin’s fins or scales. His design, like the rest of the family, stays flat and graphic. Fish-scale detail or fin texture would work against the deliberately simple 2D style the whole family shares.
Treat each supporting character’s signature color as fixed and uncomplicated. Tobias, Penny, Carmen, and Banana Joe each have their own established palette, and applying the same flat-fill approach used for the Wattersons keeps the whole set visually consistent.

FAQ About The Amazing World of Gumball Coloring Pages
Are these Gumball 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 side characters like Tobias and Penny, or mainly the Watterson family?

What is The Amazing World of Gumball?
The Amazing World of Gumball is an animated series created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network. It follows Gumball Watterson, a mischievous blue cat, and his goldfish-turned-legged brother Darwin, as they navigate school and family life in the town of Elmore. The show is notable for blending multiple animation techniques, including traditional 2D, 3D computer animation, puppetry, and live-action photography, within a single consistent world. You can read more about the show on Wikipedia.
Why does Gumball’s world mix so many different art styles, and does that affect coloring?
The show uses different artistic mediums to represent different categories of things within Elmore: people, animals, plants, and objects each get their own visual treatment. The Watterson family specifically is drawn in flat, traditional 2D, which is the style every page in this set follows, so the coloring approach stays consistently simple and graphic rather than needing to shift between different rendering styles.
What colors should I use for Gumball and Darwin?
Gumball is a flat, even blue with simple white sneakers as an accent. Darwin is a warm orange-gold goldfish with simple black-outlined fins and no scale texture. Both should be colored with completely flat fills, avoiding any shading that would suggest three-dimensional form.
What colors should I use for the rest of the Watterson family?
Richard is pink and noticeably rounder and heavier-set than Gumball. Nicole is a deep, more saturated blue, distinctly darker than Gumball’s brighter tone. Anais is a small pink rabbit, the only non-cat in the immediate family. All four should use the same flat, uncomplicated fill style as Gumball and Darwin.
Are these official Gumball coloring pages?
No. They are fan-made coloring sheets for personal use and are not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by Ben Bocquelet, Cartoon Network, or any rights holder of The Amazing World of Gumball.
Why is Darwin a fish with legs?
In the show, Darwin started as Gumball’s ordinary pet goldfish before spontaneously growing legs and becoming a full member of the Watterson family, treated by everyone as Gumball’s brother despite his unusual origin. His design keeps the simple goldfish shape and color while adding human-like limbs, reflecting that unusual transformation within the family’s otherwise straightforward visual style.
