Yesterday I finished colouring page 12 of the book.
I started off with the characters, referring back to page 1 to ensure I kept the colours of the costumes consistent. For both pages so far I've immediately preferred them once some colour is added and the characters start to stand out:
Next I coloured in the rest of the image; the scenery, the palace etc. I picked out 5 colours form my palette (I'm using 20 in total across all of the image) to use for the palace, making sure they contrasted with the foliage in the background.

I also completed the slightly different version of this illustration to use as my contribution to the catalog:
