A teapot with a dragon problem. A tiny world worth a closer look. A cat with absolutely no regrets. Mild Vandalism is color by number for people who like their quiet time with a little character. Explore 120 illustrations across six included collections: cozy scenes, curious creatures, flowers, patterns and feline mischief. FOLLOW YOUR EYE Tap any unfinished area and its numbered color fills in. Work through one color or wander around the picture. Zoom into the details, undo a tap, and let the scene take shape. TAKE YOUR TIME Color offline, without an account. Each picture saves your progress, so you can leave a few unfinished and come back when you feel like it. Unlimited Find helps with the last tiny details. ENJOY THE FINISH Watch a replay of your coloring, share the finished picture or a short replay video, and collect a badge when you finish a collection. All 120 pictures are included free. No subscription. After your first three completed pictures, an ad may appear when you leave a newly finished picture—never while you color. A one-time purchase removes ads permanently. Choose your language in the app. Made by an independent developer. Illustrations are created with AI image tools, then reviewed and refined for coloring.

Mild Vandalism's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price there is nothing between them.
