Talking Ben Coloring

Pick a palette, tap the outlines, and watch Talking Ben transform from blank page to colorful chaos — no art skills needed.

This one's dead simple: you get a black-and-white Ben the dog, a row of colors, and the freedom to tap or click anywhere to fill in sections. No timer, no score, no pressure. Just you, a cartoon dog, and an oddly satisfying click sound every time a section floods with color. I personally get weirdly competitive with myself about not leaving any white spots, which is both relaxing and mildly infuriating. The fun sneaks up on you. Some pages have surprisingly detailed areas—the inside of his ears, the fur tufts on his head—and if you're using dark colors early on, you might lose sight of the outlines and end up coloring outside the lines without realizing. Happened to me more than once. The undo button (if present) becomes your best friend, but even if there isn't one, you can just recolor over mistakes. It's low-stakes, which is exactly what a coloring game should be. What makes it work is the character. Talking Ben has that goofy, slightly judgmental expression that looks hilarious no matter what color scheme you give him. I tried an all-green Ben once and nearly lost it. If you're looking for a way to kill ten minutes or just want something mindless to do while listening to a podcast, this fits the bill. Kids will love it, but so will adults who need a break from competitive shooters and strategy games.

Use mouse or tap the screen

Work from the edges inward so you don't accidentally color the wrong section. Try an all-green Ben at least once—it's strangely hilarious. If there's an undo button, use it liberally; overshooting is completely normal. Stick to lighter shades first because dark colors can hide the outlines and make small spots harder to see. Zoom in if the game allows it—some of Ben's fur details are tiny and easy to miss. Don't rush. The whole point is to chill out and enjoy the process.
