When and Where do adults use coloring books?
Adults color for so many (fun) reasons! Some dedicate a peaceful corner at home with good lighting and comfortable seating for evening coloring sessions after a stressful workday. Others keep travel-sized coloring books and pencil sets in their bags for unexpected downtime during commutes, waiting rooms, or lunch breaks. Coloring has found its way into social settings too, with friends gathering for "coloring and coffee" meetups or "wine and coloring" nights. Some professionals even keep coloring materials at their desks for short mental breaks during intense workdays, finding that even 10-15 minutes of creative focus helps reset their mind and improve productivity afterward.

FAQ About Coloring Books for Adults
What are the benefits of coloring books for adults?
Adult coloring books offer numerous benefits including stress reduction, improved focus, enhanced mindfulness, and a creative outlet that doesn't require artistic training. Coloring activates different areas of the brain, promoting relaxation while simultaneously engaging motor skills and concentration. Many colorists report improved mood, decreased anxiety, and a sense of accomplishment when completing their colored pages.
are adult coloring books still popular?
Yes! While the initial surge of popularity peaked around 2015-2016, adult coloring books maintain a dedicated following. The market has evolved to include more specialized themes, higher-quality paper, and artist collaborations. The community continues to thrive through social media groups, coloring clubs, and dedicated websites where enthusiasts share techniques and completed works.
Do adult coloring books help with stress and anxiety?
Many people find that adult coloring books provide effective relief from stress and anxiety. The repetitive, focused nature of coloring creates a meditative state that calms the mind and reduces worry. Research suggests that coloring can lower heart rate and reduce cortisol levels. While not a replacement for professional treatment, many therapists recommend coloring as part of a comprehensive approach to managing stress and anxiety.
Is it "coloring books" or "colouring books"?
The second one's British! "Color" and "colour" are variant spellings, with the second one being used in the UK and some other English speaking countries. Canada uses both versions, but mostly the British one.
What should I color these with?
You're an adult, you're not limited to crayons! For larger, simpler pictures, markers or crayons work great. Felt tip pens or colored pencils are perfect for more detailed designs.
where can i buy adult coloring books?
You can buy adult coloring books at large chain bookstores, so why buy them here at GetBullish? Well, the ones we sell are special – created by artists, often pop culture focused (such as Taylor Swift, Parks and Recreation, Y2K) or too naughty for a family bookstore!
