Free Adult Coloring Pages You’ll Love (Over 100+!)
You’ll love these 100+ free printable adult coloring pages! Get faves including all occasion, nature, quotes, holidays, and more.
I’m totally obsessed with adult coloring! And free adult coloring pages so that I can practice my craft.
Not so very long ago, I wrote a guide on how to do it – because let me be honest, as an adult I need to be told how to relax. In that guide, I also reviewed various coloring tools and which ones were my favorites.
I’ve been to each of these links personally and have either printed and colored them (or they are on my list). There’s a ton and it’s going to take me awhile to work through of them . . . but that’s what I love!
This list should keep you busy for, well, forever! Visit the links below to download your favorite free coloring pages.
What Paper Should I Use for Printing my Pages?
Standard printer paper is typically 20 – 40 lb. I like to use 60 or 80 lb. paper to print my pages (which is typically at most stores where you’d buy printer paper).
When the paper is a bit thicker, it makes the colors more vibrant. Standard printer paper is very thin!
The 60 or 80 lb. paper is also easier to use in crafts. If I know I’m going to Mod Podge the pages, I might even print them on white cardstock!
What Colored Pencils Should I Use?
It’s funny you should ask, because I’ve tested a bunch of colored pencils myself and found the best colored pencils for adult coloring books (and they work for printables too).
To give you an idea of what to expect, I found the Pentel Arts set of 24 colored pencils to be the best cheap colored pencils. You need to see my other picks though – there are some fun options!
Now onto the pages! NOTE: You don’t need to pay for any of these pages, however – you might need to sign up for some mailing lists depending on the blog (most are just straight download with no sign up).
There are plenty of options if you don’t feel comfortable signing up for a list, although you can unsubscribe after you get your page. If that doesn’t appeal, you’ll still find something you like I’m sure. You can also check Etsy for some paid, inexpensive options.
Enjoy your freebies!

Where do you find your favorite pages? Let me know your favorite source in the comments!
Thank youuuuu!!!
Loved all the information and advise, I haven’t downloaded any pages yet. My problem is I don’t know what kind of paper is best to use. I color mainly with gel pens( I liked the detailed mandalas)
Also my mom colors using mainly pencils. What paper would be best for each of these?
I use printer paper with “Colorlok” technology. I find there’s no bleeding and pencils go on smoothly. I still need to try more papers, and I’ll do my review . . . however, until then, use this guide to find that type of paper near you! https://www.colorlok.com/
Wow!! Thank you for the list – fantastic 🙂
I would also mention my favourite free coloring pages source: https://topcoloringpages.net/
Ii like the adult coloring page
So where are the “manly man” not “girly man” coloring book topics/pages. BTW use a font color an old indan can actually see!
I would like to get the coloring pages but I would like to find color by number with bigger pictures. Is there any such thing. When. I relax I don’t want to make dEcisions as to what color to use..
Hi Debbie! So I didn’t find many good “color by number” pages for adults when I googled. If you are willing to spend a little money, here are some good color by number books for adults: https://amzn.to/38ipkIz
They have 40 – 50 designs per book which is a great value!
Thanks so much for linking to my coloring pages, lady! <3
Hi, Thanks so much for letting me include this on my blog, I hope you got a chance to check out the contest! I really appreciate you sharing your fantastic article on Coloring 101 along with your collections of pages.
I am interested in the Nature/Fantasy themed Free coloring books. Do the free coloring books require a purchase? If the coloring books are indeed free, without any purchase, how do i go about getting them?
Hi Jan! I am not aware of entire free coloring books – this compilation is single pages alone. To reach each printable page, click on the link of the name and it will take you there. Then you can decide if you like enough to print! 😀
