Read before you email us.
What is Color the News?
Color the News is a political satire coloring book subscription service. Every week we turn the worst people in the news — corrupt politicians, billionaires, war profiteers, federal agents — into printable adult coloring pages. You join, you download, you print, you scribble over their faces until something inside you loosens. It's the perfect accountability for people who will never face any.
How does the membership work?
You pay $10 a month, or $99 a year if you're the type who plans ahead and enjoys a 17% discount. That unlocks the entire Coloring Club Vault — every page and book we've ever made, plus new ones every week — and gets you into Group Therapy, our community forum where you post your finished masterpieces and bond with people who hate exactly who you hate. Here's the part that genuinely pains us: you lock in your rate forever. We would love to gouge you. Our grubby little hands twitch at the thought. But we tied them behind our back the day you joined, so the price you see is the price you die with.
Can I get
a refund?
LOL no. We sell instant digital downloads — the product has been delivered and the deed is done. It's the one transaction on this entire website where someone actually faces the consequences of their decisions, and this time, thrillingly, it's you.
How do I cancel my membership?
Go to "My Membership," click your plan, and scroll to "Cancel Membership Plan." It cancels at the end of your billing cycle, which gives you plenty of time to sit quietly with the choice you're making. No phone calls, no retention specialist, no guilt trip. Off you go.
Can I share the coloring books with my friends?
The pages are for your personal use — print as many copies as you want for yourself, color them, hang your masterpieces on the fridge, post photos of your finished work in our Group Therapy community forum or anywhere you like (tag us). What you can't do is redistribute the PDF files themselves or sell them. That's our racket, not yours. Your friends can get their own membership for $10.
Are these coloring pages legal? You're drawing real people.
Yes. Every page we create is satire and parody of public figures and matters of public concern. Political commentary is protected by the First Amendment, the same tradition as centuries of editorial cartoons. We just hand you the crayons. If you are a public figure and you're upset about appearing in our catalog, we encourage you to reflect on the life choices that made you eligible to be in our pages.
How do I download and print the coloring books?
Every coloring page is a PDF formatted for standard 8.5 x 11 letter paper. Open the Coloring Club Vault, find a villain you'd like to deface, and click "Download – Members Only." It drops into your cart. Keep loading it up with everyone who's wronged you. When you're done, click the shopping bag at the top of the page, hit Checkout (relax, your total is $0), then Place Order. You'll land on a confirmation page with all your download links, and we'll email the same links so you never lose them. Print at home on any regular printer. No special paper, no special ink, no shipping, no waiting. The sudden urge to color a sleazy billionaire doesn't operate on a 3-5 day delivery schedule, and neither do we.
Can I post my finished coloring pages on social media?
Please do. A rising tide of crayon-defaced oligarchs and politicians flooding the internet is the entire reason we get out of bed. Tag us so we can admire both your artwork and the depth of the rage that produced it.
Should I buy a membership for my little kid?
No. These are adult coloring pages about corruption, fraud, and the occasional federal raid. The artwork is family-friendly in the sense that there's no gore or nudity, but the subject matter — and some of the language — is built for grown-ups who read the news and need somewhere to put the feelings. Get your kids a dinosaur coloring book.
What kind of coloring supplies should I use to color the pages?
Whatever you have. Crayons, colored pencils, markers, gel pens — our pages print on standard paper and take all of them. Heavier markers may bleed through, which many of our members report is the most satisfying part. Print on cardstock if you want your villain to suffer in higher quality.
My pages won't download. What do I do?
First, make sure you're logged in to your membership account — the Vault only opens for members. If you're logged in and something's still broken, contact us and we'll fix it. Technical support is the one part of this operation we play completely straight.
Can I nominate a specific terrible person?
We love requests. Send us your nominee. Tell us who and what they did. We can't promise every villain makes the cut, but the backlog of qualifying candidates is, regrettably, robust.
