Adult Coloring Book Reviews

In-depth, honest reviews covering everything from paper quality and binding to design style and difficulty level — so you can choose with confidence.

Coloring books for adults

I’ve been collecting and reviewing adult coloring books since 2016, and this is where you’ll find all my honest assessments. Whether you’re buying your first coloring book or adding to an already-impressive shelf, the reviews here will help you make the right call.

Each review is based on my own experience coloring from the book — not just flipping through the pages. I look at how it actually performs with the media I use every day.
