Coloring ideas

Color the Sun with yellow in the middle and orange near the edge so it looks like it glows.
Press lightly with a blue crayon over the whole background, then go over the stars with yellow.
Use stripes of cream, tan and orange on Jupiter and Saturn, and a red-orange oval for the Great Red Spot.
