Fun fact, most of these names come from what pigments are used. For example, black brown, probably used a very light black brown mix to create the orange tone. It’s why the numbers are that way too, because the letters are the pigments, and the number is the unique identifier within that colour bracket. I must admit, alcohol markers never act how they should on the cap, so you should always swatch.
This. That is also seen in watercolors or acrylics. If you check a tube, they can have only one pigment (PB 15:3, the common Phthalo blue) or more than two of them (neutral tint have PBk 6, PV 19, PB 15. A black pigment, a violet pigment and a blue pigment).
That's not right. The letter just refers to the categories of color, like P=Purple, G=Green, R=Red, P=Purple, RP=Red-Purple. As the person before me said, these markers don't use pigments but dye. Pigment names look like this: PG7 (a green), PV55 (a violet), PB15:1 (a blue), etc., P stands for pigment and the other letter ist the color family, like Green or Purple.

Same for me... But I found some nice water based markers that are dual tipped. I can use one side for lines and the other for coloring. They're pretty cheap too. Was planning to ask my mom soon.
I actually been doing professional art with Copic alcohol markers for year, I always suggest having a spare piece of paper with you to test the colors and blending before you use it.
@𝕄𝕠𝕔𝕙𝕚 maybe because it's darker for a pastel range, so they called it a dark color. Also, these were probably made in China, so names might have gotten mistranslated.
"If it’s dark ... than HOW the heCK is it light ??" Honey that’s the markers logical WE human don’t need to understand Edit : Thanks for all the like this is my most liked comment so yeah 😭💕
I think maybe it's a dark violet light🕯️ like the light to see in the dark and those lights no matter if it's a dark colour they still look like a light colour (My English is not good but still hope you understood my point 💀)
I have an idea that I haven’t done yet but also haven’t heard anyone suggest. Swatching out the colors then cut them in a shape that would match the ends of the caps, write the number, and then glue them on both caps of each pen. This way your swatch is directly on the cap and you don’t have to refer to your swatch sheet every time you need to choose a color.
I have over 250 alcohol brush markers and they are so much fun to use and yes the colors sometimes dont match, I go mostly for copic and tombow inks because they are pretty good. But having a sketchbook of color coded marker colors will help out a lot if you have been using several brands. Try that it might help
Also I have an explanation on the behalf of Ohuhu for the Dark Violet light lol🤣 that maybe the people who were naming the colours were not fluent in English and therefore thought to name a colour on the darker end of the lighter spectrum of violet like this. (I hope this makes sense)
Thank you for mentioning this. I just started learning with ohuhu markers and I was so confused about why everything looked off. I finally swatched all of them and have my swatch cards out at all times. Idk why art brands can't get this down. Makeup brands were notoriously bad at matching colors to the product but in recent years gotten almost spot on with most packaging and product colors
My bone to pick is that YOU'RE STORING THEM UPRIGHT! NO! Please store them resting on their sides to preserve lifespan. Sorry for the outburst haha but *damn*
Dark violet light means this: Dark violet is a shade soo, it’s just a light shade of dark violet. It not actually telling that the colour is dark or light it’s just telling a lighter shade of colour which’s name has the word dark in it. Hope that explained it. :)
that first issue is a mood even in colored pencils.. like, I have 3 blues, labelled 346,347, and 348, yet '46 and '47 look the same and '48 seems to have taken the saturation that '47 needed..
Love your nails hehe 💕 I'm always think about getting some alcohol markers but I always end up not buying some. I don't know which brand I should get, I dont know how many colours I should get, they are somehow expensive and ahhhh I just don't know. But they look so cool in videos and I want to try them :c Also the colours really confuse me just like you said. HOW CAN A DARK COLOUR BE LIGHT?
(( take this advice with a grain of salt, I'm getting this information from creators I know that use alcohol markers a ton, but do your own research and see what feels right! )) Okay! Good beginner Alcohol marker brands I recommend are Artxx and Ohuhu! They both come at student prices, and are relatively cheaper than their competitors Unfortunately, it is still pricey, since the ink from alcohol markers is hard to obtain/manufacture, I presume Personally, I recommend a 12 pack set from Artxx, since those markers are not named (to my knowledge) and only numbered Ohuhu is a little pricey, but they're good quality, and have plenty of variation in quite a few packs ALWAYS SWATCH YOUR COLOURS! I feel like this is true for any marker really Also, pastel set, it's just darker than most of the pastels :)
Thank you for highlighting this issue. As a colorblind artist, I rely on the names being accurate to the color and it gets very overwhelming having to remember and chart up what colors are called what by which brands.
Most art supplies have the packaging vs product colour problem because it’s almost impossible to achieve the same pigmentation from art supplies as you would from resin plastic
Dark Violet Light made me burst out laughing! I've been using a marker called Dark Blue Light for almost a decade and it's a light Periwinkle/lavendar tone. I've had that same thought for years "Dark....light???" Lmfao, these markers
This is so true, I also have alcohol markers and it doesn't really make sense... But they really make my arts very neat so I don't have to complain a lot xd
That brand is still my fav! 😢 I misplaces mine and refuse to color without them but I am starting to lose hope they were not stolen by a house guest last year! 😢
i have similar doubts when using them, mine are way cheap and don't come with a testing paper so i just keep a piece of paper near me while drawing and try out every marker before i use it
I try not to think about the names too much, even if they have ablack or brown in their name. I saw a Drawingwiffwaffles vid the other day where she colored an image with a full ohuhu collection of markers and there were names like "Jurassic Gold" in there xD
This just needed to be done by someone the colors never match the caps… and I thought exactly the same about the “dark violet light” but I like the markers tho
Yeah I agree lol my "yellow" Markers are kind of like brown and "green yellow" And "neon yellow" Are literally the perfect yellow colors. Not to mention the "pastels" Are so vibrant
Alcohol markers use dyes but they apparently have to put pigments in the caps so they don’t match. Plus the other stuff they mix in the caps throws the colours off too

have had my copics for 11 years and they’re perfectly fine
Yes
Not just Copics, any pen with two tips should be stored horizontally. If you store them standing up, one of the tips can dry out.
exactly! NEVER store double-tip writing instruments vertically
