Coloring Book: Color by Number in depth

Read the full write-up

Coloring Book: Color by Number is a guided digital coloring app for people who prefer filling numbered areas to drawing from scratch. It is best suited to solo coloring on a phone, tablet or supported Windows device, especially when offline access and varied themes matter more than collaboration.

Overview

Every picture pairs numbered regions with matching paints, turning each page into a clearly defined coloring task. The library covers mandalas, flowers, animals, nature, unicorns and zen designs, then adds recognizable works such as the Mona Lisa, Starry Night and The Last Supper. That range gives both casual colorers and users seeking familiar imagery a reason to return.

Free coloring pages let you begin without a purchase. You can recolor images repeatedly and share finished creations on major social networks, although the app remains a single-player experience rather than a shared canvas. Offline play is a meaningful advantage for travel or low-connectivity use. The free experience contains ads, so uninterrupted sessions require accepting advertising or considering a subscription.

Key features

Number-matching workflow: Numbered sections and corresponding paints provide structure for users who want a guided activity instead of open-ended drawing.

Six broad subject areas: Mandala, floral, animal, nature, unicorn and zen categories offer different visual moods and subjects.

Famous paintings: Well-known images including the Mona Lisa, Starry Night and The Last Supper add recognizable alternatives to themed pages.

Recoloring: Finished pictures can be colored again, supporting repeat use rather than one-time completion.

Offline, single-player use: Coloring works without a connection, but there is no indication of collaborative or multiplayer coloring.

Sharing: Completed work can be posted to major social networks when you want to show results beyond the app.

Pricing

The freemium structure gives you a no-cost starting point, with advertising in the free tier. The Free plan costs nothing and includes free coloring pages, but contains ads.

PlanPriceWhat it includesFreefreeFree coloring pages; contains adsColoring Book Weekly Subscription$4.99 a monthIn-app subscriptionColoring Book Monthly Subscription$9.99 a monthIn-app subscriptionColoring Book Yearly Subscription$49.99 a yearIn-app subscriptionThe weekly-named option is priced per month at 4.99 USD, while the plan named Monthly Subscription costs $9.99 a month; those labels and billing terms should be read carefully before purchase. The yearly subscription costs $49.99 a year and is the lowest stated monthly equivalent among the paid options, while the free plan is the sensible choice for occasional users willing to see ads. No seat limits, quotas or trial period are stated.

Platforms

The app supports Android, iOS and Windows. On iPhone and iPad, it requires iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 or later. Google Play identifies Windows availability as powered by Intel technology. Offline access is supported, making the mobile-focused experience usable without a live connection.

Who it's for

Choose it if you want structured, number-based coloring, a wide mix of subjects and the ability to continue offline. It also fits users who enjoy revisiting images or sharing completed work. Look elsewhere if you need collaborative coloring, unrestricted free use without advertising, or a blank-canvas drawing tool.

Pros and cons

Pro: Numbered regions make the activity approachable and clearly paced.

Pro: The combination of themed categories and famous paintings broadens the page selection.

Pro: Offline play supports coloring during travel or connectivity gaps.

Con: The free plan contains ads, which can interrupt an otherwise focused activity.

Con: Paid access uses recurring subscriptions, including a weekly-named plan billed monthly.

Con: Single-player design offers no collaborative coloring mode.

Verdict

Coloring Book: Color by Number is a strong fit for solo colorers who value numbered guidance, varied themes and offline access across mobile and Windows. Its main reason to choose it is the mix of everyday categories with famous paintings; its main reason to look elsewhere is the ad-supported free tier and recurring subscription pricing.

Verdict

The app combines number-based coloring with offline play and a broad set of page themes. The free option includes ads, while subscriptions are available at monthly and yearly prices.
