Colors to Use

Whites for chef’s hat and apron. Reds, oranges and yellows for the food. Blacks for accents like shoes or oven detailing.

Don’t just settle for plain white togs, young culinary artists! Give that chef’s outfit some extra sizzle with checkerboard patterns or splatters resembling sauce stains.

How to Color a Chef Coloring Sheet

A. Illustrating Specific Elements: For a chef’s toque (hat), use pure white. Create the signature puffy shape by shading the bottom creases with light gray.

B. Textured Effects: On a cut of meat or loaf of bread, use heavy pencil shading and cross-hatching to depict the bumpy, irregular texture.
