Hey Steemians!

Week 31 of #zencolouringcontest starts now!

Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this post's STEEM payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.

To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).

The featured colour this week is Rainbow Colour Palette
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection:

I love the animation, its an awesome effect that accentuates the depth of your colouring. The bright yellow and red spotted section frames the design nicely. I really like the descending tones of green and blue that work towards the center, it creates a lot of depth and draws the eye into the center.

Thank you for participating and supporting the #zencolouringcontest!
