Recolor

Recolor is a simple coloring app with a large selection of images, a simple and intuitive interface, and an in-app purchase option.

Recolor has over 100 images to choose from. Each image has several sheets (or layers), so you can color more than one thing at once. Recolor also offers you the option to draw your own picture using markers or pencils. You have access to 24 colors, including special effects like glitter and glow-in-the dark paint. You can choose from three different styles: plain paper, crayon paper or cardstock paper with an optional outline around the image so that it's easier for beginners to stay within the lines without having their hand get lost amidst all those colors!
