Why this prompt works
Coloring pages need closed, colorable regions, so the prompt asks for bold black outlines and pure white fills — no shading.
A complexity level (simple for kids, intricate for adults) is set so the linework matches the audience.
Grayscale, filled areas, and color are excluded because they defeat the point of a coloring page.
