Canvas 2: Akane-iro no Palette (Canvas2 〜茜色のパレット〜, Canvas 2 ~Akane-iro no Paretto~, lit. Canvas 2 ~Deep Red-colored Palette~) is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by F&C FC01, a brand of F&C. The game, which is a sequel to Canvas: Sepia-iro no Motif, was released for Windows on April 23, 2004; a PlayStation 2 version without adult content was released on January 26, 2006. The story follows Hiroki Kamikura, an art teacher at Nadeshiko Academy who lost his passion for painting. Hiroki's budding relationships with the game's main heroines are the focal point of the story.

The gameplay in Canvas 2 is mostly spent reading the dialogue and narrative, and the primary objective of the game is to romance the five main heroines, each of whom has her own story route that the player can explore individually. The game was ranked as the second best-selling bishōjo game at the time of its release. Canvas 2 has been adapted into various other forms of media, such as manga, light novels, audio drama, and a twenty-four-episode anime television series produced by Zexcs. A sequel game, called Canvas 3: Hakugin no Portrait, would later be released by F&C.^[3]
