One Illustrator. Two Ways to Celebrate.
Every Kid Sees Themselves — From the First Crayon
Most coloring pages leave kids guessing — "what color am I?" When Nicola began drawing her first coloring pages, she noticed the same thing happen every time: kids would grab whatever crayon was closest and color faces green, yellow, or whatever felt easiest, then get stuck trying to figure out the "right" color. So she started pre-coloring the skin tones herself — realistic and ready to go — before handing the pages to her nieces.
They colored for a full hour straight without asking a single question. That small change is now at the heart of every Color In Pretty page: no green faces, no confusion, no kid left wondering where they fit. Every child can jump straight to the fun part — outfits, hair, accessories, and their own creative touches. It's a simple detail, but it's one you won't find anywhere else in coloring pages made for parties and events.

Color In Pretty is a creative event studio founded by illustrator and designer Nicola H. Styles, dedicated to bringing people together through original coloring experiences for kids, adults, and communities. Based in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, we design playful kids’ parties and elevated adult gatherings that make every celebration feel personal, stylish, and full of good energy.
Our Story
Color In Pretty began with a simple idea: coloring isn't just for kids — it's a way for anyone to slow down, connect, and express their creativity. What started as hand-drawn birthday party activities for kids grew into something bigger: Coloring & Cocktails, an elevated coloring experience made just for adults. As the founder of both, Nicola turned her love of illustration into two connected experiences that blend art, community, and celebration — one playful, one polished, both totally original. Today, every event centers around signature artwork drawn by Nicola herself, giving hosts something fun and unique that guests won't find at a typical party.
What We Do
We create hands-on event experiences built around original coloring pages and curated materials so you don’t have to worry about the details. Our offerings include kids’ birthday parties, Coloring & Cocktails for adults, community and brand events, and private group experiences for teams and organizations. Whether you’re planning a small gathering or a larger activation, we focus on making your event feel easy to host and unforgettable to attend.
Our Creative Approach
Every illustration used at Color In Pretty events is designed in-house by Nicola, with thoughtful themes that fit your audience and occasion. For kids, artwork is playful, imaginative, and full of character, while adult designs lean more polished, modern, and elevated. We pair these visuals with a structured yet relaxed event flow, giving guests space to color, connect, and enjoy the moment together.

Color In Pretty currently books events in Lakewood Ranch and nearby surrounding areas, partnering with parents, brands, communities, and private hosts who want an experience that stands out.
