Coloring books for adults and teens, built around real stories
Every Motiv Colors book takes one subject, a figure, an era, a war, a faith or a landscape, and walks you through it in order. You get 30+ coloring pages and a verified historical fact beside each scene, so by the last page you know the story, not just the pictures.
Choose your shelf
History. Tutankhamun, Cleopatra, the Aztecs, the Maya, the Incas, Greek mythology, the Odyssey, Joan of Arc, the pirates, the American Revolution and JFK. Military. The Civil War, the First and Second World Wars and modern jet fighters, battle by battle. Spirituality. The life of Jesus, the Holy Bible, the Christmas Nativity story and the life of the Buddha. Nature and landscapes. Real places in France, Spain and Patagonia, from Provence lavender to the glaciers of the Andes.
How the books work
Each book is an instant PDF download. Print it at home on A4 or US Letter, reprint any page as often as you like, or color it on a tablet. Every illustration is drawn with AI and then checked by a person against the historical record before it goes in the book. The lines suit colored pencils, markers, gel pens and watercolor pencils.
Who they are for
Adults who want to unwind without switching their brain off, colorists tired of repeating patterns, teens who learn better with a pencil in hand, and the parents, teachers and gift-givers who buy for them. Two-book bundles pair stories that belong together, such as Tutankhamun with Cleopatra or the First World War with the Second.

Overall a nice The Maya Civilization book, but one of the illustrations is obviously AI-generated — the proportions are just off. Hope that gets swapped out…
