Since 2005, randomized controlled trials have tested structured coloring as a short-term way to reduce anxiety and with measurable effects in as little as 20 minutes. Trymay patterns are built around the same principles that research points to:

calm in 5 minutes. anywhere.
An anxious mind runs on loops, the same thought circling back before you've even finished thinking it once. Coloring interrupts that loop by giving your hands and eyes a single, repeating task to follow: one square, one line, one color at a time. The brain can only hold so much at once, and when it's busy tracking a pattern, there's less room left over for spiraling. 5 minutes into Calming Patterns page, the loop breaks. What's left is quiet.

why just relax doesn't work
You can't talk your body out of a stress response, you have to give it something else to do. Anxious and calm are not two settings your body can hold at once, one has to give way to the other.
Coloring works because it occupies your hands and eyes with a task simple enough to follow but specific enough to hold your attention, so there's nothing left over for your nervous system to stay on high alert about.
no instructions, no app to open, just pick a color and start
quieter nights. calmer mornings.
Coloring in the last twenty minutes before bed replaces scrolling with something that actually winds you down instead of keeping your mind lit up. A calmer nervous system before sleep means falling asleep faster & waking up less wrung out.
caffeine-free, screen-free wind-down that fits into any bedtime routine
who it's for?
The overstimulated adult
"Spent the day in 47 tabs and 12 Slack channels. Needs to come down without scrolling Instagram for an hour."
The 'not-an-artist'
"Tried watercolor. Tried embroidery. Got intimidated by a pencil set. Just wants to relax without being judged."
The tired parent
"Has 15 minutes once the kids are asleep. Doesn't want a new hobby. Wants to breathe."
The evening unwinder
9pm, tea brewing, your brain still racing. You don't want another app to scroll. You want a hobby that's actually yours.

A single, repeating task
A single, repeating task
Anxiety runs on loops. Coloring gives your attention one simple thing to follow - one shape, one color, one row at a time - so there's less room left for spiraling thoughts.
A clear finish
A clear finish
Unlike scrolling, a page ends. Each design is sized to complete in one sitting, giving your brain the sense of completion it's actually looking for.
No decisions to make
No decisions to make
Bold outlines and simple shapes mean nothing to plan and no way to get it wrong, one of the most common reasons people abandon creative hobbies before they help.
Twenty minutes, not an hour
Twenty minutes, not an hour
Studies measuring anxiety reduction from coloring typically used sessions of 20 to 30 minutes. Short enough to actually do on a weeknight.

frequently asked questions
What if I pick the wrong colours?
What if I pick the wrong colours?
There aren't wrong colours. The dimensional, glossy effect comes from shading light to dark within each shape, not from which colours you choose so any combination still comes out looking finished. There's no colour by number system and no symbols to follow.
Do I need to be good at drawing?
Do I need to be good at drawing?
No. The patterns use bold, thick lines that are hard to color outside of, and there's no wrong way to fill them in. If you can hold a marker, you can do this.
What can I color with?
What can I color with?
Colored pencils, gel pens, or markers, including alcohol markers.
How many patterns are in each book?
How many patterns are in each book?
40 pages, 40 different pattern illustrations per volume.
What's the difference between Volume 1, 2, and 3?
What's the difference between Volume 1, 2, and 3?
Each volume has its own color palette and pattern style, but the same wavy grid optical illusion running through every design, the lines are straight, the illusion comes entirely from where the color goes.
Which volume should I start with?
Which volume should I start with?
Any of them as they're not sequential. Pick the cover you like most. If you're choosing between them, Volume 1's larger shapes fill fastest, which tends to feel best on a first page.
How long does one page take?
How long does one page take?
Most people finish a page in 20 to 40 minutes, though there's no timer, no deadline, and no wrong pace.
Do I have to finish a page in one sitting?
Do I have to finish a page in one sitting?
No. Stopping mid-page is completely fine as plenty of people prefer it, since a half finished page is a reason to come back tomorrow.
How do I get the glossy, 3D look I've seen in videos?
How do I get the glossy, 3D look I've seen in videos?
Shade each shape darker along one edge and leave a small untouched highlight on the opposite edge, keeping the light coming from the same direction across the whole page. Our free colouring guide covers this in detail.
