New Dot Painting Colours: Gold, Black and Blue

What has changed?

Selected Paint By Dots designs are now available in three colour options: black, blue and gold. These colours are not used together in one kit. They are separate marker colour choices, so you can choose the finish that best suits the artwork, the room and the feeling you want.

The core process stays the same. Each kit includes a printed dot canvas and your selected acrylic marker colour. You complete the artwork by filling the printed dots slowly, one section at a time.

Black dot painting

Best for strong contrast, crisp structure and a more graphic finished artwork.

Blue dot painting

Best for a softer, calmer finish with more visual depth and a cooler tone.

Gold dot painting

Best for warmth, decorative impact and artwork that feels softer on the wall.

The problem: single colour artwork can feel flat if the wrong colour is chosen

Paint By Dots is intentionally simple: one printed dot canvas, one chosen marker colour, one calm repeated process. But the colour choice still matters. The same design can feel very different in black, blue or gold.

Black can make the artwork feel sharper and more architectural. Blue can make the same design feel quieter and more layered. Gold can make it feel warmer and more decorative. This is why the colour option should not be treated as a small detail. It changes the final mood of the artwork.

Which colour should you choose?

The colours do not work together in one painting. You choose one. To make that choice easier, use the artwork mood you want as your guide.

Colour choice guide

This is not a painting sequence. It is a simple guide to help you choose the right marker colour before you order.

1. Choose black for structure. Black is the safest choice if you want strong contrast, clear outlines and a more graphic finished artwork.
2. Choose blue for depth. Blue works well if you want a calmer result, especially for animals, landscapes, soft interiors and thoughtful gifts.
3. Choose gold for warmth. Gold suits decorative wall art, gift pieces and designs where the finished artwork should feel warmer and more refined.

A medium design usually takes around 8 to 12 hours to complete, depending on size, detail level and your pace. The completion time does not change significantly between black, blue and gold.

Product details and availability

Paint By Dots colour choice is designed to keep the process simple. You choose the artwork, choose one marker colour and receive a kit prepared for that colour.

Why we added more colour options

Customer feedback and studio review showed that the colour choice strongly affects how finished the artwork feels. Some customers prefer the clarity of black. Others want the softer mood of blue or the decorative warmth of gold.

This update is not about making the kit more complicated. It is about giving customers a clearer choice before they begin, while keeping the making process simple: one chosen marker colour, one printed dot canvas, one calm artwork.
