Color the top half of the iris in dark navy or violet and the lower half in bright cyan, preserving the two white highlight circles.

Press rich magenta deep into bow center folds and feather outwards to cotton candy pink along flying ribbon ends.
Leave a horizontal arched ribbon of untouched white paper across the crown of the pigtails to simulate bright room reflection.
