How much detail?

The eight open bars have few divisions. Mounting pins, mallet stems and frame corners are smaller. About the labels.

Move from warm colors on the longer bars to cool colors on the shorter ones.

A small coloring tip

Crayons or broad colored pencils fit the bars; use a smaller tip for the round pins.

Try alternating light and dark colors from one bar to the next.
