Why Ohuhu keeps trending
Ohuhu has become a go-to because you can get big brush-tip alcohol marker sets at a price that feels accessible. For coloring pages, brush tips are a big deal - they make fills smoother and faster.
Honolulu vs Oahu (the simplest explanation)
- Honolulu: brush + chisel tips (popular for coloring and illustration).
- Honolulu B: brush + fine tips (better if you love details).
- Oahu: chisel + fine tips (often a budget-friendly option).
If you're buying your first big set for coloring pages, most people prefer a brush-tip set (Honolulu or Honolulu B).
Pick a set based on your coloring style
- Bold & easy pages (big regions): brush + chisel is fast and satisfying.
- Tiny details and patterns: brush + fine gives you more control.
- Palette building: bigger sets help, but good swatching matters more than raw count.
Avoid duplicates and missing neutrals
Before upgrading, swatch what you already own. Then identify gaps: skin tones, muted greens, cool/warm grays, and deep shadows. A small add-on set that fills gaps can be more useful than another giant set with repeats.
A simple way to use Ohuhu with coloring books
- Snap a photo of your coloring page in Kolorio AI and pick a vibe.
- Save the color guide (or keep it open while you color).
- Swatch your chosen palette on the same paper you're using.
- Color light-to-dark in small sections for smoother blends.
Colorize any page in seconds
Take a photo of your coloring book page and get a clean color guide + marker-friendly palette to follow. Save palettes, keep your look consistent, and color with more confidence.
FAQ
Is Honolulu B better than Honolulu?
Neither is 'better' - it depends on the second tip you want. Honolulu is brush + chisel; Honolulu B is brush + fine. If you do tiny details, Honolulu B often feels nicer.
Do I need a huge set to start?
No. A smaller brush-tip set plus a few neutrals can take you very far, especially if you build palettes instead of using random colors.
Will Ohuhu markers bleed through coloring book pages?
They are alcohol markers, so yes on most book paper. Use a backing sheet, or print pages on thicker paper.
