Advent Wreath Coloring Pages
Here is my collection of Advent wreath coloring pages, featuring illustrations tied to the winter season and traditional Christmas celebrations.
Advent Wreath Coloring Pages: Introduction
Previously, we worked on a collection of Christmas wreath coloring pages. As a continuation of that theme, I’ve created this new collection of Advent wreath coloring pages. In the sections below, you’ll find a variety of wreath illustrations that include candles, holiday decorations, and text elements designed to make your coloring time more enjoyable and useful.
When working on these Advent wreath coloring pages, keep in mind that green is the primary color. You can choose from a wide range of green tones, from bright and vibrant to more muted and subdued shades. Varying the greens throughout the wreath helps create a unique atmosphere.
Many of the illustrations include classic Christmas decorations. For these, red and yellow are often suitable choices. This combination can be used for ornaments, bows, or ribbon accents placed around the wreath. The contrast of warm tones against the green base helps highlight the decorative features.
The candles can also be colored using red and yellow shades. To represent a glowing flame, start with red around the outer edge, blending into yellow, and finishing with light yellow or white at the center. For a more realistic look, consider adding a glow around the flame and soft shadows or highlights on the surrounding areas of the wreath. These small adjustments can make the final result appear more complete and interesting.

Advent Wreath Coloring Schemes
The base of the Advent wreath should primarily be green. You can combine different green tones to create variation – darker greens for shaded areas and lighter ones for highlights. This helps the shape of the wreath stand out while remaining simple.
Candles in some of the advent wreath coloring pages are usually purple and pink in traditional Advent arrangements. Typically, three candles are purple and one is pink. Some versions may include a central white candle, especially in more detailed pages. All candles can have slight shading for volume but should remain easy to recognize.
Flames should be colored starting with a small white or light yellow center, followed by yellow, and then orange or red around the edges. You can optionally add a light yellow glow around the flame for a soft illumination effect. Keep the shape of the flame simple and consistent.
Bows and ribbons on the wreath are often red, but you may also use gold or a muted yellow. Red works well against the green background and is easy to shade slightly using darker red tones at the edges. The knot area can be slightly darker.
Text elements such as “Merry Christmas” or “Advent”presented in advent wreath coloring pages are often done in red, green, or gold. You can also keep the text uncolored or use a neutral tone if you want the focus to remain on the wreath itself. Use clean lines if adding any shading.
Berries, when present, are usually red. You can add a small white dot on each to create a light reflection, though this is optional. If grouped together, consider using different shades of red to avoid a flat appearance.
Stars and small ornaments can be colored in yellow, gold, or silver. Avoid making them overly bright. A light touch of gray can be used on one side to create simple shading for round or flat objects.
Pinecones, if shown, may be colored in brown with light tan or gray highlights. Keeping them understated prevents them from distracting from the wreath or candles. Use short lines to indicate texture without much detail.
Snowflakes or snow-covered elements in some pages can be left white, with very light blue or gray added for outline or shadow. Avoid strong contrast, as these elements are intended to be subtle within the scene.
Background elements of advent wreath coloring pages, such as snowfall or stars, can be lightly shaded in pale blue or light yellow. You can leave them uncolored as well if you want the focus to remain on the main parts of the illustration.
