Review on Crayola Super Tips 100 Count Marker Set – Assorted Colors, Washable Markers for Kids – Ideal Art Set by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

So disappointed

Can't believe Crayola is tying its name and reputation to these markers. I know you "get what you pay for", but these are tokens. How bad can a lower price choice be? Obviously this is very important. The colors are poorly organized and labeled. I spent more time creating a legend than coloring pictures. Cap color rarely matches ink color, and I don't mean subtle differences. The cap of a light pink petal is a fusia. Honey pink - brown. Multiple markers with different cap colors will have the same ink color and vice versa. About 5% of markers are black-bodied; the rest is white. Why? Neon or glitter ink? primary colors? nope Black can have a corresponding white cap OR ink, not both. Markers do not have a color name. There's a tiny alphanumeric ID that you can see if you mark it with a marker in a different color than the stem, but there's no color family template, and I've already found two different colors with the same ID. Well, unless you mean "for kindergarten". The side part with a thicker stroke distributes the color unevenly. I'm glad I used a relatively cheap coloring book when I tested them. Of course, all this is stupid, and not a single life is in danger. However, if you enjoy coloring, that's a deal breaker. I remember when Crayola first made a 64 color box. I was crazy about doodle art. I'm that friend who never calls it green; it is lime, sage, jade, forest, emerald or kelly. I can't bring myself to throw them in the trash just yet, but it won't be long.
