3. Ideas to color Easter Eggs Beautifully and Aesthetically
If your child loves decorating hard-boiled eggs, let them practice their designs on paper first. It’s perfect to draft their ideas on paper before applying them in real eggs.
Because each egg template looks different from the next, your child will have plenty of room for self-expression. They can use crayons, colored pencils, markers, and pens to create the perfect Easter egg designs.
If your child needs some ideas on choosing colors, don’t worry! I’m here to give you some suggestions on coloring them. Let’s combine it with your own ideas to create a masterpiece.
3.1. Simple solid color Easter eggs
If you love minimalism, let’s choose solid colors for your Easter egg coloring pages. Although it is simple it still can show the elegance and festive vibe. You can choose bold, rich hues or soft pastel tones for your eggs.
- For a bold and vibrant look: You can choose deep red, navy blue, emerald green, chocolate brown.
- For a soft and delicate look: Choose pastel hues like baby pink, lavender, mint green, or sky blue
My advice is for one page just choose one color style for all eggs. It will help ensure a harmonious and visually appealing design.
If you mix both bold and pastel tones in an unreasonable way, it can create an unbalanced look.
3.2. Ombre Easter egg coloring pages
A little enhanced version of solid eggs is ombre one. To make your Easter egg coloring sheets more artistic, you can try ombre colors. The general formula for the gradient effect is to blend from light to dark shades.
If you use crayons or colored pencils, let’s use a blending stump, cotton swab, tissue paper or even your finger. Markers may be harder to do this technique so be careful in choosing tools.
You can choose any colors you want, just remember to stick to one color family if you are a newbie. For example, you can choose blue to light blue, pink to pastel pink.
If you are an experienced one, try a more difficult level. Let me suggest some themes to apply to your Easter egg coloring page.
- Sunset ombre: Transition from Pink to Orange to Yellow.
- Galaxy effect: Transition from Blue to Purple to Pink
- Ocean effect: Transition from Light Blue to Teal to Green
- Nature tone: Transition from Mint to Green to Olive
3.3. Luxurious Gold Easter Eggs

I suggest some colors that bring a different vibe, choose what fits you the most.
- Gold: Wealth, elegance, and divine energy.
- Silver: Modern, sleek, and refined.
- Deep Blue: Sophistication, stability, and royalty.
- Burgundy: Luxury, passion, and depth.
- Rose Gold: Chic, feminine, and trendy.
If you don’t want your coloring page to become a monopoly, you can try some color combinations. For example, you can choose deep blue and gold; rose gold and burgundy; silver and white.
A tip I want to recommend is to use gold foil, metallic paints, or glitter accents! These small details will help your Easter eggs standout.

5. Where Do Easter Eggs Come From?
Easter is one of the most important holidays of the year, a time when Christians mark Jesus Christ’s resurrection. It may seem odd to have Easter eggs and bunnies in the mix, and it’s normal to wonder how this tradition ever began.
Well, it all begins with the story of the Easter bunny, which is several centuries old. Supposedly, the Easter bunny lays and hides eggs.
This is where the popular Easter egg hunt originated. During these events, children have tons of fun, collecting and eating the hidden chocolate eggs with an Easter basket.
Eggs relate to the resurrection of Christ because they are a symbol of new life. I believe it was an adventurous spirit with a sweet tooth that figured out that Easter eggs were better off made from delicious chocolate.
Today, all chocolate lovers enjoy celebrating Easter with egg-shaped chocolates that are usually hollow inside.
