Ohuhu – Honolulu B – 104

Ohuhu Honolulu B alcohol markers, 104 colours — the best way into the range

Ohuhu Honolulu B alcohol markers are a benchmark for adult colouring and illustration. This 104-colour set brings together the most useful shades to get started without breaking the bank, and comes complete: carrying case, colourless blender, swatch card, manual and anti-bleed sheet.

Start with the 104, complete with the 216

The 104 set and the 216-colour set are the only two boxes in the Honolulu B range that complement each other without a single duplicate: 104 + 216 = the 320 shades of the complete collection. It's the most economical route to the full 320 set: take the 104 now, the 216 later, and never buy the same colour twice.

Why alcohol ink changes everything

Alcohol ink layers and merges instead of stacking up. Two close shades applied on top of each other create a transition with no visible edge — that's blending, and it's something no water-based felt-tip can do. Drying is almost instant, which avoids streaks.

The dual brush & fine tip

The flexible brush tip varies its width with pressure: generous fills, gradients, filling large areas. The fine tip handles crisp outlines, details and lettering. One marker replaces two tools.

Getting started with 104 shades

A focused palette makes you mix colours — and that's the best way to progress quickly. Work from lightest to darkest on ink that's still wet, and use the included colourless blender to soften edges.

Which paper should I use?

Smooth, thick enough paper (at least 120 gsm, ideally marker paper) limits bleed-through and bleeding. Slip the anti-bleed sheet provided under your page if your sketchbook is thin.

Finding and storing your markers

The caps are colour-coded and numbered; the Ohuhu colour chart follows the official Honolulu range code. For luminous highlights at the end of an illustration, Languo 0.6 mm gel pens add the white dot a marker can't.
