Color

Color is a currency collected and obtained in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter. It plays an instrumental part in progressing through the game. Color Drops are earned from getting combos, doing tasks for certain villagers, and can be found throughout almost every level in the game. They appear in either drop form or in a colorful bottle.
== Story ==
In the beginning of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, Heather has a vision of Wilfre stealing color. Upon waking up from her nightmare, Heather rushes over to the Secret Beach where she finds Wilfre's Scepter and is used as Wilfre's puppet as he uses her form. Wilfre uses this scepter to steal color from the Raposa world. Many Raposa are kidnapped via portals as Wilfre drains the color from the Village. A few of the Raposa narrowly escape losing color and get away on Turtle Rock, a gift from the Creator. They sail away looking for the missing Raposa and color to restore the world.
Color is gathered in the form of droplets that the Hero has to collect throughout the game. They are used to restore parts of villages whose color has been drained by Wilfre. At the end of each level, the Hero receives 100 to 200 Color Drops depending on how well they have done in a level. They are all shown in as liquid in a large, full bottle. In the final battle with Wilfre, he defeats the Hero and begins stealing their color. However, the Raposa pray to the Creator to restore all the color, and the Hero is revived, defeating Wilfre.
== Restoring Areas ==
The player can restore color to certain areas for varying amounts of color, with larger areas usually being more expensive. Some areas have to be recolored in order for the story to progress, while less prominent areas can be chosen to be restored at any point. Restoring all possible areas is required to reach 100% for each village.
When an uncolored area is selected, a message will appear asking you if you would like to restore the area. If yes is selected, you will have to use the stylus to manually recolor the most prominent element of the area. After it is colored in, the surrounding areas will fill in automatically. At the beginning of almost every village segment, the Creator is asked to restore color to the ground. This is done by tapping the screen with the stylus and doesn't cost any color drops. 
== Trivia ==
* The first building seen to lose color is Creation Hall in the Rapoville.
** The first object to be seen without color is a carrot in Heather's dream.
** The first object to be seen without color in the real world is the Hero's mannequin.

** This does not happen outside of Heather's nightmare.
* The first building to have its color restored is a boathouse in Watersong.

* Color as a concept in this game may be representative of Mike falling into and out of his coma.
** The Creator fully restoring the color may be Mike beginning to wake up.
