Doriprismatica kyanomarginata is predominantly mottled light beige in colour. The mantle edge is extensively folded as in other Doriprismatica and Glossodoris species with coloured lines at the edge. There is a transition from beige to yellow, followed by a line which is pale blue and then an outer black line in this species.[1][3]
