Languo – 384 acrylic markers – carry case

Languo acrylic markers, 384 colours — the top of the range

Languo offers its acrylic range in 96, 192, 240 and 288 colours. With 384 acrylic markers, this set is the brand's fullest: the palette you choose when you never again want to discover a missing shade halfway through a project.

What 384 colours actually change

With a large palette, the point isn't the number but the gap between neighbouring shades. The closer the shades, the more gradual the gradients and the more polished the final result looks. With 384 references, you have complete families — five or six close greens where a set of 48 offers just one — so you can model volumes, nuance shadows and build coherent atmospheres.

The direct-ink system: Languo's real technical advantage

Unlike markers with a cotton reservoir, the direct-ink system feeds liquid ink straight to the tip. Three practical results: a much larger ink supply for the same volume, a flow that stays even from the first stroke to the last, and none of the skipping that forces you to shake a regular marker every five minutes. Over a two-hour session, the difference is very noticeable.

A flexible brush tip that replaces two markers

The tip responds to pressure like a paintbrush: a light touch for a 1 mm line, firm pressure for a 5 mm fill. You draw the outlines of lettering and fill a background with the same tool, without ever putting the marker down to look for another.

Which surfaces can these markers be used on?

Paper, card, canvas, wood, stone and pebbles, glass, ceramics, fabric, leather, plastic. The water-based acrylic ink is opaque even on black and becomes water-resistant once dry, making it suitable for objects that get handled: mugs, painted pebbles, customised tote bags. Odourless, non-toxic formula, suitable for the whole family.

288 or 384: which should I choose?

The 288 set already covers every everyday use and remains the best value for starting a collection. The 384 is for those who already own a wide palette and want completeness: the in-between shades, the muted tones, the subtle variations you won't find elsewhere. If you're unsure, the question to ask isn't ‘do I need 96 more colours?’ but ‘do I regularly get stuck on a missing shade?’

Storing and finding 384 shades

The caps are colour-coded, but with a palette this size an organiser quickly becomes essential: the 360 to 450-slot wooden organiser holds the entire set in full view. The Languo colour chart completes it by matching each number to its real shade. For tiny details and highlights the brush can't do, Languo 0.6 mm gel pens are the natural companion.

Getting started with your markers

Shake with the cap on, prime the tip on scrap paper until the ink comes through, then work in thin layers, letting each coat dry. Always recap and store horizontally: that's what preserves both the flexibility of the tip and the evenness of the flow.
