color by numbers
Numbered painting activity
Color by numbers is an activity, typically for children, where outlined sections of a picture are marked with numbers corresponding to specific colors.
Filling in each section with its assigned color reveals the complete image.
Figuratively, it describes any mechanical, creativity-free process: The presentation was color by numbers—nothing original.
