🔍 Step-by-step Solution:

We are given a list of multiplication pairs and their associated colors:

| Color | Multiplication Pairs |
|-------------|----------------------------------|
| Red | 9×6 = 54 & 8×4 = 32 |
| Dark Green | 8×8 = 64 & 7×4 = 28 |
| Yellow | 7×6 = 42 & 8×9 = 72 |
| Light Blue | 9×9 = 81 & 4×6 = 24 |
| Light Green | 7×8 = 56 & 9×4 = 36 |
| Orange | 4×4 = 16 & 5×8 = 40 |
| Dark Grey | 9×3 = 27 & 7×7 = 49 |
| Pink | 9×0 = 0 & 4×0 = 0 |

Now, let’s go through the numbers in the image and assign colors accordingly.

🎄 Final Coloring Guide

Here's how to color specific parts:

- Penguin's face:
- Eyes: Dark Green (28)
- Nose: Orange (16)
- Mouth: Dark Grey (0) — but wait, 0 is pink! Let's check...

Wait — the nose is labeled 16, which is orange (from 4×4).
The mouth is not labeled, but the scarf has 0 → Pink

So:
- Nose: Orange
- Eyes: Dark Green
- Hat and parts of tree: Red (32)
- Tree stars: Yellow (42)
- Ornaments: Yellow (72)
- Gift box top: Yellow (72) and stars (40 → orange?)
Wait — the stars on the gift are labeled 40, which is orange

But 40 is from 5×8 → Orange, so gift stars are orange

But the gift box itself has:
- Vertical stripes: 36, 56, 40, 36, 36 → mix of light green (36, 56) and orange (40)

So:
- Gift box stripes:
- 36 → Light Green
- 56 → Light Green
- 40 → Orange
- 36 → Light Green
- Top of gift box: 72 → Yellow
- Ribbon: 72 → Yellow
- Background snowflakes: 56, 32, 64, etc. → follow color rules
- Large area under penguin: 81 → Light Blue
- Ground: 24 → Light Blue
- Penguin’s feet and flippers: 27 → Dark Grey
- Body outline: 49 → Dark Grey
- Scarf: 0 → Pink
