Colorist Appreciation Day
Following a Tumblr post by Bellaire in early 2013, fans declared January 24 to be "Colorist Appreciation Day", in order to celebrate how much the color adds to the artwork of any given comic. In her post, an open letter titled "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more", directed at an unnamed fan convention, she talks about how important the colorist is but how little recognition they get, saying "Colorists are the unknown amazing backup singer that makes [sic] every track awesome".
Eisner Awards
In 2014, Bellaire was nominated for an Eisner award for best cover artist for her collaboration on The Wake with Sean Murphy. In addition, she also received a nomination for Best Coloring award for her work on various titles, which she won.
