### <mark style="color:blue;">04 | Color a Digital Coloring Page</mark>

Now that you have a digital coloring page, you can share it with your customers so that they can find the colors they'd like to use for your quilt pattern.

1. On the quilt dashboard, find the quilt that has a digital coloring page. The quilts that have digital coloring pages will have a hyperlink button on their tile. In this example, ours is called sawtoothstar.
   * ![](https://2632437258-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZIxhpDEaPtVb8DXlSENh%2Fuploads%2FdIH9Mz4xCdiHAIDWlcEM%2F01%20hyperlink.png?alt=media\&token=db522be3-b083-46dc-9b84-81a905cac0db)

4. Change the quilt colors by either using the <mark style="color:blue;">**Randomize**</mark> button (<img src="https://2632437258-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZIxhpDEaPtVb8DXlSENh%2Fuploads%2FVuqUGzrQHxKpMXGBJ2JB%2F04%20randomize.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7c96c5f8-1a75-472c-a35b-abaf6d3fee92" alt="" data-size="line">) or manually editing the Color Tag colors.&#x20;
