Geometric Coloring Pages
Print geometric coloring pages from 14 of our own designs: eight-, six- and four-point star lattices in the style of Islamic geometric art, a star and hexagon lattice, triangle grids, a honeycomb, tumbling blocks, a square whirl, faceted triangles, rings and rays, chevrons, diamonds, overlapping circles and pinwheel triangles. Every design is drawn from a number, so each number gives a new page and the same number always gives the same one. Choose Simple, Medium or Detailed: every shape on the page is closed and at least the minimum size for the level, so there are no slivers too small to color. Print one page, several pages of one design or a pack with one of each, on US Letter or A4, as a PDF, a 300 DPI PNG or an SVG. Nothing is uploaded.

The 14 geometric designs
| # | Design | How it is built | Shapes: simple | Medium | Detailed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eight-point star lattice | Octagons and squares, rays at 60 to 72 degrees | 74 | 207 | 421 |
| 2 | Four-point star lattice | Square grid, rays at 63 to 72 degrees | 52 | 127 | 269 |
| 3 | Six-point star lattice | Hexagon grid, rays at 54 to 66 degrees | 73 | 176 | 384 |
| 4 | Star and hexagon lattice | Hexagons and triangles, rays at 52 to 68 degrees | 20 | 51 | 368 |
| 5 | Triangle grid | Triangles, some split into four | 97 | 313 | 632 |
| 6 | Honeycomb | Hexagons, some with a hexagon or a Y inside | 46 | 99 | 291 |
| 7 | Tumbling blocks | Hexagons split into three rhombi, like cubes | 69 | 162 | 345 |
| 8 | Square whirl | Squares with nested turned squares, alternating direction | 130 | 323 | 747 |
| 9 | Faceted triangles | A triangle grid with every corner nudged | 54 | 141 | 316 |
| 10 | Rings and rays | Rings round a centre, cut by rays | 35 | 90 | 248 |
| 11 | Chevrons | Zigzag bands cut into parallelograms | 60 | 142 | 299 |
| 12 | Diamond lattice | Diamonds, many with a diamond inside | 71 | 203 | 435 |
| 13 | Overlapping circle grid | Equal circles on a grid, overlapping into petals | 82 | 196 | 632 |
| 14 | Pinwheel triangles | Squares cut by diagonals that turn round each block | 46 | 112 | 248 |
Shape counts are for design number 1 on US Letter; other numbers give a different count. 8886 shapes across the three levels of number 1 alone.
Levels
| Level | Line width | Smallest shape (circle that fits) | Smallest area |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 0.9 mm | 7.1 mm | 160 mm² |
| Medium | 0.6 mm | 4.6 mm | 60 mm² |
| Detailed | 0.4 mm | 3 mm | 22 mm² |
The smallest shape is measured as the widest circle that fits inside it, between the inner edges of the lines. Any shape smaller than the level allows is joined to its neighbour before the page is drawn.
One design, five numbers: the eight-point star lattice
| Design number | Shapes: simple | Medium | Detailed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 74 | 207 | 421 |
| 2 | 78 | 204 | 432 |
| 3 | 84 | 206 | 429 |
| 4 | 81 | 196 | 411 |
| 5 | 79 | 197 | 479 |
Each number turns, shifts or changes the angle of the lattice, so the page is different every time.
Paper and design area
| Paper | Page | Design area inside the frame |
|---|---|---|
| US Letter | 215.9 × 279.4 mm | 190.5 × 243 mm |
| A4 | 210 × 297 mm | 184.6 × 260.6 mm |
Every page keeps a 12.7 mm (half inch) margin, with the title above the frame and a one-line footer below it.

Tips for coloring geometric patterns
- Pick three to five colors and repeat them: a pattern looks strongest with a small palette.
- Color every copy of one shape the same to show the lattice, or change colors across the page for a gradient.
- Leave some shapes white; contrast makes the stars stand out.
- Use markers on thicker paper or card so the ink does not show through.

Frequently asked questions
What are geometric coloring pages?
Coloring pages made from shapes: triangles, squares, hexagons, circles and stars, repeated in a pattern across the page. Coloring them is relaxing because the rules are simple, and the colors you choose make the pattern.
How are the star patterns made?
Each star lattice starts from a tiling of squares, hexagons, or octagons and squares. From the middle of every edge, two lines go into the tile at a fixed angle until they meet the lines from the next edge. The crossings make the stars. This is the polygons-in-contact method recorded by E. H. Hankin in 1925; our code draws it with a different angle and turn for each design number.
Which designs are easiest?
Rings and rays, the honeycomb and the triangle grid at Simple have big, regular shapes. The eight-point star lattice and the square whirl at Detailed are the most intricate.
How do the design numbers work?
Each geometric design is drawn by our code from the number you choose, from 1 to 999999. Change the number for a new arrangement; type the same number again, with the same design and level, and you get exactly the same page. The number prints at the top so you can find a page again.
Are the shapes closed, so crayons and markers stay in?
Yes. Every line ends on another line or on the frame, and our tests flood-fill the printed lines of each design to check that every shape is closed and at least the minimum size for the level.
Which level suits children?
Simple: the shapes are big and the lines are 0.9 mm thick. Medium suits most older children; Detailed has small shapes and fine lines for adults with fine pens or sharp pencils.
Can I print a whole set?
Yes. Choose All designs to get one page of each design, or Several pages to print up to 12 pages of one design with the numbers in a row.
Can I sell what I make with these pages?
Yes. The note under the tool sets out how you may use the designs, including in things you sell.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on pages.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The pages are drawn by JavaScript in your browser and nothing leaves your device. Nothing is saved when you close the page.
