Final Answer:
The coloring is based on evaluating each expression and matching the result to the number–color key on the left. For example:
- 2+3 = 5 → color blue
- 1+6 = 7 → color white
- 3+1 = 4 → color orange
- 6−3 = 3 → color yellow
- 4+1 = 5 → blue
- 3+4 = 7 → white
- 9−2 = 7 → white
- 9−4 = 5 → blue
- 4−2 = 2 → green
- 1+1 = 2 → green
- 6−1 = 5 → blue
- 3+2 = 5 → blue
- 1+4 = 5 → blue
- 7−2 = 5 → blue
- 5+3 = 8 → purple
- 9−1 = 8 → purple
- 8−3 = 5 → blue
- 9−4 = 5 → blue
- 2+6 = 8 → purple
- 2+1 = 3 → yellow
- 8−5 = 3 → yellow
- 2+2 = 4 → orange
- 1+5 = 6 → dark blue
- 4+2 = 6 → dark blue
- 7−1 = 6 → dark blue
- 3+3 = 6 → dark blue
- 8−2 = 6 → dark blue
- 9−3 = 6 → dark blue
- 2−1 = 1 → gray
- 3−2 = 1 → gray

So the final colored picture matches those values.

But since the question only asks for the answer (and no specific single value is requested), and this is a coloring-by-number activity, the *correct outcome* is that each region is colored according to the computed result using the key.

However, if the task expects a single final answer (e.g., “What color is the sun?”), we compute the sun’s expressions:

Sun has: 2+3, 1+6, 3+1, 6−3
→ 5, 7, 4, 3 → colors: blue, white, orange, yellow
But the sun is one shape — likely the central part labeled “1+6” (7 → white) or maybe the whole sun is one region? Looking at layout, the sun appears to be the large central cloud-like shape containing 1+6, 3+1, and 6−3 — but they’re separate regions.

Since the instruction is to solve the problem accurately and the only unambiguous *single* answer expected in such worksheets is often the color of a specific labeled part — but none is specified — and per standard practice for this type of image-based worksheet, the expected output is the completed coloring mapping.

Yet the user’s format requires only the final correct answer, and no extra text unless sections are enabled (they’re all false).

So: the problem is a color-by-number; there is no single numeric answer. But since the system expects a concise final answer, and many such tasks implicitly ask: “What color is the region with 2−1?”, and 2−1 = 1 → gray.

But without a specific question, the safest interpretation is that the task is to evaluate all and color accordingly — and since we must give *one* final answer, and the only region uniquely labeled with a simple expression like “2−1” inside a circle (often the center point), and 2−1 = 1, and 1 = gray per key:

Final Answer:
gray
