Game overview
Anycolor is a digital colouring book with an unusual amount of freedom: nothing dictates which colour belongs where, so a portrait can go pastel or acid-bright on a whim. Fill large areas with the bucket, switch to the brush for detail, and work through line art spanning animals, people, food, vehicles and abstract shapes. Completed pieces download straight to your device.
This title is best suited to unwinding with open-ended digital colouring.

Tips for Anycolor
