Color Noir: Coloring Art Games Wiki

I am so excited and relieved to use this app!!! I will admit that I was a little skeptical about downloading this app at first but I am really glad that I went ahead and did. In my spare time or when I just need me time for myself I tend to color. I’ve always seen these other apps advertise on Facebook like they had these types of pictures but when I go download it they didn’t have the kind of pictures that they were advertising , but this app is the TRUTH!!! It’s like a dream come true to finally get to color a picture that represent people like me and my kinds of hairstyles especially during the times that we are in now. If there were to actually come out in with actual coloring books I would most definitely go buy every single one that comes out( I’ve already downloaded and printed out the free version that they have)!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for this brilliant app!!! I’m always using my iPad to draw/color digital art on different coloring apps but could never find anything that represents us. So, I would usually color the digital art and make the characters black even though their features were not. I got tired of the lack of representation and decided to search for black owned coloring books to download for iPad. That’s when your article popped up and I got too excited. I never knew something like this existed before and I wished I would have found this app sooner instead of wasting my time and money on those other apps.

Love the app but it’s only so much you can do. If this was like or similar to color therapy then this would become my #1 favorite coloring app. I still haven’t came across anything yet to make me replace color therapy. Don’t get it twisted I’m still gonna color on this app, this comes in second place, this app just needs more options and needs to be more user friendly as far as movement with getting around to the colors. Needs different utensils to color with, need to be able to shade in and mix colors, need to have an eraser instead of an undo button. Over all this is the greatest African American coloring app ever I support it 100%

First off, REPRESENTATION MATTERS! I am so in love with the designs, the people, the patterns and the inclusivity Color Noir offers. It is so refreshing to tell therapy clients about this app and to be able to create pieces dripping in melanin & with so many shades to choose from, there truly is something for everyone here! I personally downloaded Color Noir for myself and for Art Therapy usage. When the developers say “all ages” they mean it. I really enjoy the complexities of some of the pieces but also love that there are less challenging ones for my 9 year old to create as well. This is also my favorite “Miss, do you have games on your phone?” App to pass around to my nieces and nephews. It has been a life saver at several BBQ’s this summer and the parents (myself included) didn’t feel like we were handing off our child a device for a parenting break, resting assure that this is one of the “Good Apps”. I strongly encourage you to download this app for yourself or the young people in your life, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Omg I LOVE a this app! I normally use actual coloring books, but my friend from college created some pages on this app so I decided to check it out & oh my, it’s soo relaxing & fun! I recently deleted social media & this app has taken over when I’m bored or just need something to help calm/center me. I love that fact that it has people that look like MY family! My daughter enjoys coloring people that look like her & her friends. The creators did an amazing job with this one. I’m so proud that there is a space for me now, my daughter that gives various skin tones, & hair types! I can go on for days but I’ll stop here. Thank you for this one ❤️

I turned to this app as I was in the middle of a crying episode. It was easy to use and very soothing. I loved the color and template choices. I mostly enjoyed the freedom to create whatever I wanted. And I loved that I saw myself in the designs. I was doodling like “yeah I would rock this. She looks like me!” I’m so happy I found this app. I was crying because I was thinking of my mom who made her heavenly transition. And I couldn’t help but think how much she would have loved this app because she loved creating. I feel a connection with her when using this app. Thank you.

I’m Shaunta and I am full of joy to finally have a coloring book that look like me. We didn’t have a coloring book for our ppl growing up here it is I’m almost 39 and feel like a lil kid right now. I told my sisters to get the app for they girls. In times like these we needed something to uplift our young Princesses and prince and encourage them so they can see they can be the first to do anything they put they mind too. Thank you color noir for making my dream as an little girl come true. I love this app and my printable coloring book

With a wide variety of skin tones and cultural images, this color app allowed my 5yo daughter and I to color a picture together while she asked questions to learn more about herself. She told me that she wanted to have one of the dresses like this because they are beautiful and so pretty. It provided another opportunity to explain to her the specialness of the patterns with her while she got to make them the colors she wanted. It’s more than a coloring app, it’s a chance to open the dialogue with your children.

This App is EVERYTHING that I have been looking for!! I have to control myself or I will be coloring for hours. The way the colors pop on certain parts is awesome and how sometimes the hair will look so real!! I’ve noticed that some of the images even have tattoos (I would loooove it if I were able to color them to 🙂). This App gets a 10 from me!!

I can say I love this app because representation is important. However, I do have another coloring app (which I am tired of and looking to switch over) they have little representation of black people in general but, they have more tools to use for coloring also different options like removing the lines or changing the color of the lines, they also have the option to change opacity when using a color so you can shade as you please (it’s the same price). They also have a community in the app to view other people work and follow them. Maybe adding more options for users would be great. I will definitely support, but please consider adding more for users.

I’ve always liked coloring books and as an adult, its considered pretty childish to color a real coloring book. So i’ve definitely fallen in love with mobil app coloring books. This one is BY FAR my favorite because all of the characters look like me or someone in my family. There isn't much black representation in standard books so this was a phenomenal idea and i hope they keep expanding! The only reason i gave them 4 stars is because the pages are grey, not white, so coloring in white is impossible and when you use light colors they look kinda weird/dirty. Other than that this is definitely worth the time. Such a good book!💙💙💙💙💙

First let me say THANK YOU for creating this app!!! I love being able to add “Flavor” to drawings that look like myself, my family and friends.... Two thing I would love to point out, however, is that 1) Some of the “skin tones” don’t translate very well onto the drawing and 2) There are some portions of the drawings that cannot be customized because the sections bleed together. For example, I want fully able to color one of the drawings because changing the background also changed the color of the characters face/eyebrow. But again - I Want To COMMEND YOU for creating something that represents people of color!!! It is TRULY APPRECIATED!!!

I’ve used other coloring apps for years and was excited to see this one come out. I love how it features a wide range of Black skin tones. There are two features I think it needs to include. First, it needs to auto-rotate (I use it on an iPad and need it to work in landscape mode in order to prop it up). Second, please remove the shading on the pictures. I’m not sure why photos of Black people in coloring apps are often pre-shaded. It’s annoying to have to figure out how the shading will alter the colors that we pick. If these issues changed, I’d easily sign up for a year subscription and increase the rating.

I like the concept. However, I downloaded this app a while back when I first heard about it, back when the app first launched. I deleted it because there were no free coloring pages at the time. Came across the app again and it is still the same, literally three free coloring pages. I shouldn’t have to be required to download for 7 days just to get free pages. The app doesn’t even give you the option to watch an advertising video for free coloring page. I know the 7 day trial is optional but there’s absolutely no way to enjoy the app to even consider paying for it. Not those three little free pages to entice people. Stick to Recolor, at lease there are many free coloring pages to help pass time with that app.
