3. What colours do panther come in?
To make your panther coloring pages look more realistic, let’s study what colour do panthers come in. Don’t forget to share these new amazing knowledge to your friends and parents!
3.1. Black Panther (Most Common)
Black maybe the most common color that you can see on a panther. They own a shiny and solid black fur and sometimes rosette spots under the light.
Fun fact is you can use panther and leopard interchange. However, panther is a word that is usually used for a melanistic variation of a leopard or jaguar.
When it comes to panther, you can be a melanistic leopard (Asia, Africa) or a melanistic jaguar (South America).
If you want to color your panther black, this is the color palette I suggest for you:
- Base: Let’s go with solid black for the base.
- Highlight: You can add dark brown or light gray to highlight some muscular parts of the panther.
- Eyes: Panthers are outstanding with their striking golden eyes. Put golden or amber yellow for this part and add a small dot of white to mimic the reflection.
3.2. Dark Brown or Charcoal
Sometimes, you don’t see panther in a jet black but in a dark brown or charcoal. Actually, they are still the black panther but having less melanin in there skin.
If you want color your panther with these colors, you can choose colors:
- Base: Go with charcoal gray or dark brown for the main fur; you can use warm gray for transition.
- Highlight: You can highlight with light gray (charcoal panther) or muted gold (brown panther).
For their eyes, use the same colors for black panthers because they have similar eyes.
3.3. Spotted Panther (Leopard or Jaguar)
You can see rosettes on panthers when it comes to the specie of leopard or jaguar. They carry the melanism gene but still retain some spots.
They can have single color spot or a mix of black and dark brown rosettes. Most of the time, you only can see them visible in a the bright sunlight condition.
In VerbNow’s panther coloring pages collection, all panthers are designs without rosettes. It’s a pity but if you want to color it, let’s challenge your artistic trait. Draw the spots by yourself and color them with the chosen colors!
3.4. White Panther (Rare)
White panthers are rare compared to black ones. The reason behind their color’s fur is their rare genetic mutation called leucism or albinism.
However, they still have dark eyes and some pigmentation. If you want to color them white but not want to leave blank, let’s choose pale cream instead.
To make your coloring more artistic, let’s put your panther in a moonlight setting. In that case, choose a soft blue-gray for their fur. To make it mystical look, you can color their eyes light green or icy blue.
