A full kimono with wide sleeves, a broad sash tied at the waist and flowers printed across the cloth. The sash is a large flat band that separates the two patterned halves.

How to color Hello Kitty in a kimono

  1. indigo blue Colour the robe first, working around the printed flowers.
  2. deep red Fill the sash in a strongly contrasting colour, flat and even.
  3. cream and gold Go back and colour the flowers in two shades so the pattern lifts.

A kimono works on contrast between the robe and the sash. Pick two colours that are genuinely different, not two shades of one.
