I have exactly one complaint about Friendship Is Magic. Princess Luna spends a thousand years banished to the moon, finally comes home, and on her first Nightmare Night half of Ponyville bolts the second she lands in town. Not exactly a welcome parade.
These Princess Luna coloring pages try to make it up to her with quieter evenings: a lullaby by the lake, tea by candlelight, a bedtime story, and one party where she clearly has no clue what to do with her hooves.

Some pages are one giant shape and a pair of big eyes, made for small fists. Others pack in harp strings, fireflies and a castle skyline for kids who like to settle in, so click a thumbnail, grab the PDF and print.
Featured Princess Luna Coloring Pages
I love how Princess Luna glides above those fluffy clouds, leaving a trail of stars like she’s sprinkled a little bedtime magic across the sky. I’d reach for soft purples and blues, but I suspect a few rainbow stars might sneak in once the crayons come out!
Princess Luna has the right idea, since curling up in a hammock while comets put on a bedtime show sounds lovely to me! I’d save a bright yellow pencil for those swooshing tails and let the kids pick the dreamiest purple for the sky.
I think Princess Luna has found the sweetest spot in the night market, sitting at a table full of moon-shaped cakes! I’d try soft purples and silvery blues here, though I suspect those little cakes will end up rainbow-colored once the crayons come out.
I can’t help giggling at Princess Luna’s surprised face when a little bat decides her horn is the perfect landing spot. I’d reach for deep blues and purples for Luna, then give her cheeky visitor a bright pink nose just for fun!
I love how Princess Luna’s goggles make her look ready for a midnight adventure, even with those storm clouds swirling around her. I’d reach for deep blues and purples, then sneak in a splash of bright yellow, because every royal sky explorer deserves a little sunshine somewhere!

Princess Luna Coloring Pages Highlights
Peeking From Behind a Glowing Star
A giant five-point star fills most of this page, and Luna peers over its top edge with a hoof hooked on the rim and eyes the size of dinner plates. A crescent moon and a few small stars sit up in the corner. That’s the whole page, which is exactly why it works for the littlest colorers.
Lily got this one and went at the star with a fat yellow marker, then orange on top, then yellow again. Luna stayed completely white because, according to her, Luna is the night part.
Luna Entering a Foal’s Dream
Dream-walking is canon, by the way. In “Sleepless in Ponyville” Luna slips into Scootaloo’s nightmares night after night and nudges her to face what scares her, rather than just making it vanish.
Here she stands over a foal curled up asleep on a cloud, her horn sparkling, bubbles drifting past a crescent moon. She checks on the little one the way a night nurse walks the ward with a penlight, quietly, one bed at a time. A calm page for winding down.
Looking Awkward at a Nightmare Night Party
Bunting across the top, bats, balloons, a grinning jack-o’-lantern… and in the middle, Luna with her crown slipping sideways and a face that would rather be anywhere else. It’s her holiday, technically.
Ponyville used to leave candy at a statue of Nightmare Moon so she wouldn’t gobble anybody up. Once Luna got the joke, she joined in, and the scary part turned into the fun part. Print it the last week of October.
Playing a Lullaby on a Harp by the Lake
Who plays a harp at midnight, alone, beside a lake? Luna, apparently, and she looks perfectly content about it.
A full moon with craters hangs over the far shore, ripple lines cross the water, and trees line the bank behind her. The harp strings are long and packed close together, so this one suits older kids with sharp pencils more than preschoolers.
Raising the Moon Over Canterlot
Wings wide open, one hoof up, and a full moon nearly as big as she is, craters and all. Canterlot’s towers poke out of the clouds in the bottom corner.
Of all the coloring pages of Princess Luna from My Little Pony in this set, this is the one that shows her actual job. Big shapes up top, fiddly spires below. It earns a spot on any classroom wall during a space unit.
Reading a Storybook to a Sleepy Filly
A filly is tucked in under a quilt, and Luna sits at the bedside with a big open book, mid-story. Tall bedposts with round knobs, a window full of stars, a crescent moon.
I think this is the softest page in the set. Good for library corners and read-aloud days, and nobody in it is in a hurry to be anywhere.
Luna Sipping Tea at Midnight
Midnight tea, a candle on a little round table, and Luna perched on a puffy cushion with her cup in her hooves. Behind her, a tall arched window frames a crescent moon and a scatter of stars.
Night-owl parents will relate. Nothing on the page is fussy except the candle, so it’s a fine pick for five-and-ups who want cozy over busy.
Leading Lost Ponies With a Lantern
Three small ponies trail behind Luna down a forest path, trees closing in on both sides. A lantern hangs low by her front hoof, the obvious spot for the brightest color on the page.
The little ones bunch up behind her like a field-trip line behind the chaperone. Anyone who has walked twenty-two seven-year-olds through a museum knows that formation.
8 Tips for Coloring Princess Luna
Build Her Navy Coat in Thin Layers
Luna’s coat is deep navy, and it’s the biggest shape on nearly all of these Princess Luna coloring sheets. A dark marker laid down in one pass will drown her eye lines, wing feathers and mane curls.
Go in with a blue colored pencil or crayon at medium pressure, then add a second pass only on the shadow side. Furniture makers wipe dark stain on in thin coats so the grain still shows, and your printed lines are the grain.
Give the Chibi Page Her Season One Look
When the Elements of Harmony pulled Nightmare Moon apart in the first two episodes, the pony left standing was small, pale blue and short-maned. She didn’t turn into the tall navy princess until season two.
The chibi waving page, crooked crown and all, fits that early version. Try powder blue for the coat and a medium blue for the mane, and watch which kids catch the reference.
Black Regalia and a Matching Cutie Mark
Kids grab yellow the second they spot a crown, but Luna’s tiara, chest piece and hoof shoes are black, the mirror image of Celestia’s gold. Her cutie mark is a white crescent on a dark splotch, and that splotch needs the same black so it reads darker than the coat.
Outline each crescent in gray pencil first, as a little fence, then fill around it in black marker. Start on the Nightmare Night page, since that lopsided crown is the first thing anyone sees.
Star-Dot Her Mane With a Gel Pen
Since season two, the show has drawn Luna’s mane and tail like a slice of night sky, see-through and dotted with tiny stars. Color them periwinkle or cornflower, not the coat’s navy, so hair and body don’t fuse.
Once the marker is completely dry, dot small stars across the mane with a white gel pen. Wet marker turns the gel muddy… ask me how I know.
Put the Mare Back in the Moon
The dark patches on our real moon are called maria, Latin for seas, and a single patch is a mare. Equestria borrowed the pun, because for a thousand years ponies looked up at a pony-head shadow on the moon that vanished when Luna came home.
On the Canterlot and harp pages, shade the craters in cool gray at light pressure. Lore fans can pencil a faint mare’s head into the biggest patch, which technically sets the picture before her return.
Color the Harp Strings Like a Harpist Would
Real harpists don’t stare at a wall of identical strings. Every C string is red and every F is black or dark blue, so they can find their place mid-song.
Copy that on Luna’s lakeside harp with a sharp red pencil and a navy one, counting three strings from red to navy and four from navy back to red. Leave the rest pale gold or white, and lay a ruler alongside, because freehand strings wander.
Paint a Dream Inside the Biggest Bubble
Luna doesn’t just guard dreams, she walks into them. In “Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?” she admits she created the Tantabus, a dream creature meant to punish her with nightmares, and it got loose.
On the dream page, let kids doodle what the sleeping foal is dreaming inside the biggest bubble. Keep that bubble warm and the rest of the sky cool, so the dream is the first thing you notice.
Brown Bats for Her Awkward Party
Most real bats are brown, gray or rusty orange, and very few are jet black. Color the party bats a warm brown so they don’t melt into Luna’s black crown.
Then go loud on the balloons with purple, lime and orange. Leave Luna in plain navy with no costume, because in the episode she showed up as herself.
