Unicorn Princess Crown Coloring Page

A unicorn princess crown combines two beloved fantasy elements into one delightful design. These crowns typically feature flowing curves, decorative gems, and often a special centerpiece where the unicorn’s horn naturally fits into the royal design. The intricate details give you plenty of spaces to experiment with different colors and techniques.

What colors work best?

The classic approach uses soft pastels like lavender, pink, and mint green for an ethereal fairy-tale feel. For something more dramatic, try jewel tones like sapphire blue, amethyst purple, and emerald green against metallic gold or silver for the crown’s base. An unexpected combination that works beautifully is rose gold with turquoise accents, or even a rainbow gradient across the crown’s arches. Don’t forget that gemstones can be different colors rather than all matching—mixing ruby reds with diamond whites and sapphire blues creates visual interest.

Did you know?

Medieval crowns were often designed with specific numbers of points to indicate rank, with more elaborate crowns reserved for higher nobility. The tradition of decorating crowns with gemstones wasn’t just decorative—people believed different stones had protective powers. Unicorns in medieval tapestries were often shown with spiral horns similar to narwhal tusks, which were sometimes sold as “unicorn horns” and valued more than gold.

How to color this one

Start with the largest areas first, like the crown’s band and main structure. Colored pencils work wonderfully here because you can layer colors to create a metallic shimmer effect. For gemstones, leave a small white spot or use a white gel pen afterward to add a highlight that makes them look shiny and dimensional. Try blending two similar shades together on the curved parts of the crown to give it depth. Markers can work well for bold, saturated colors, but test them first since they might bleed into small detailed areas.

Who’ll love this?

Kids around ages 5-10 who enjoy fantasy themes will spend a good amount of time on this. It’s also nice for anyone who finds detailed coloring relaxing but doesn’t want something overly complex. The combination of larger areas and smaller decorative elements means younger children won’t get frustrated, while older kids can really focus on shading and color blending techniques.
