Freeware Coloring Books
There are a small number of freeware Coloring Books. For the most part these are simpler than their shareware rivals.
Most shareware Coloring Books come with a small number of pictures. The full version will normally include a much larger selection of pictures and is typically priced around US$10–$20.
On-line Coloring Books
There is a large number of sites that allow online coloring in (via Java applets). There is a great variety of such applets. Most offer fairly simple features such as choosing of a color and flood-fill.
More recently, Java has begun to make way to more fully featured Rich Internet Application (RIA) versions of coloring books.
Downloadable Coloring Book Pages
There are many sites on the internet now that include downloadable coloring pages. These pages are usually presented as images (such as GIF) or in the form of documents (typically PDF).
