Coloring book
 
I'm translating a text and I just have one question if I may ask. How would you translate Coloring book? Libro para colorear?

Thanks, and nice forum.

Yes, that´s the more common way to say it in Spanish: Libro para colorear

Yes, I've heard "libro para iluminar" too, (in Mexico at least, I'm not sure about other countries). In any case, I'd say libro para colorear is the more common or most widely-understood way of saying it.

Why iluminar? wouldn't that mean to illuminate?

So how would you say "to color"?

Colorear would be the most common (universal) way to say it, in Mexico, iluminar is also used.
