Free Inside Out 2 coloring pages: 34 printable PDF designs featuring Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust, and the new emotions introduced in the 2024 sequel, Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.
Inside Out 2 is a 2024 Pixar film directed by Kelsey Mann, released on June 14, 2024, as a sequel to the 2015 film Inside Out. The story follows Riley Andersen, now a teenager attending a three-day hockey camp before starting high school, as her original five emotions, Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust, are joined by new emotions that arrive when a puberty alarm goes off in her mind. The sequel introduces five new emotions in total, Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, Embarrassment, and Nostalgia, though this collection currently features designs for the first four; a Nostalgia-specific page is not yet part of the set. This collection reflects that expanded cast, with individual portraits of each emotion, several multi-character scenes showing the original and new emotions together, and a general set of portrait-style pages built around the film’s overall look.
The 34 pages are split into individual emotion portraits, group scenes with multiple characters, and a broader set of general portrait-style designs, giving fans of the film a wide set of options to color.
What Is Inside This Collection
The 34 pages sort into three groups, covering individual emotion portraits, multi-character scenes, and general portrait-style variations.
Individual Emotion Portraits
The largest group in the collection shows a single emotion at a time, including all five original emotions, Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust, alongside several of the new emotions introduced in the sequel, Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment.
Multiple Emotions and Character Group Scenes
A similarly large group shows several emotions together, including scenes with Riley Andersen herself, a five-character grouping, and pages that combine both the original and new emotions in one design.
General Portrait Variations
A smaller group of pages uses very similar naming, such as Inside Out 2 Coloring Sheet, Inside Out 2 Picture to Color, and Inside Out 2 Color Page, which likely reflects designs added gradually over time rather than distinct themes.
What Inside Out 2 Coloring Pages Do
Supporting emotional vocabulary. Because each page is built around a single named emotion, this collection gives children concrete, colorable characters to attach to feelings like anxiety, envy, or embarrassment, emotions that are harder to talk about than joy or anger.
Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7. The mix of simple single-character portraits and more detailed group scenes in this collection suits a range of skill levels.
Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. A focused coloring session with a favorite emotional character can offer the same kind of calming, absorbing activity described in that research.
Opening conversation about growing up. Because the film centers on a character entering her teenage years, this collection can work as a starting point for conversations with older children about new and more complicated feelings as they approach the same stage.
How to Color Inside Out 2 Pages Well
- Joy: Color her body in bright Yellow with Sky Blue hair, matching her glowing, energetic look.
- Sadness: Color her body and hair in Blue, with a Mint green sweater as shown in the film.
- Anger: Color his body in Red with a Blue shirt and tie.
- Fear: Use a muted Purple-Gray for his body and a sweater vest, keeping the palette softer than the more saturated emotions.
- Disgust: Color her body in Green with a Pink top.
- New emotions: Color Anxiety in Orange, Envy in Cyan or Turquoise, Ennui in deep Indigo, and Embarrassment in Pink, matching each character’s official color from the film.

For the new emotions, use Orange for Anxiety, Cyan or Turquoise for Envy, deep Indigo for Ennui, and Pink for Embarrassment, matching each character’s color from the film.
Why do some pages in this collection have very similar names?
A smaller group of pages, such as Inside Out 2 Coloring Sheet, Inside Out 2 Picture to Color, and Inside Out 2 Color Page, uses very similar naming. This likely reflects designs added gradually over time rather than distinct themes, and offers more repetition in style than the individual emotion portraits.
Can Inside Out 2 coloring pages be used to talk about emotions with children?
Yes. Because each page is built around a single named emotion, the collection works well as a starting point for naming and discussing feelings, particularly newer emotions like anxiety and embarrassment, which can be harder for children to put into words than joy or anger.
Are Inside Out 2 coloring pages suitable for young children?
Yes, though the film itself is rated PG and centers on a teenage character navigating puberty, so some pages may resonate more with older children and preteens who relate to Riley’s experience. The individual emotion portraits work well for a wide age range.
Does this collection include a page for Nostalgia, the fifth new emotion in the film?
Not currently. The film introduces five new emotions: Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, Embarrassment, and Nostalgia, but this collection only includes designs for the first four. A Nostalgia-specific page could be a natural addition to the collection in the future.
