Review on Get Creative With AROIC'S 48 Pack Paint Pens - Write On Any Surface With Ease! by Steve Stone

I will preface this that I have so far only used 5 out of the set that I just got so this is only my first impressions. First of all, you get what you pay for. The first one I immediately went to was the black one because I use that the most. The black is really not as dark as I would want. Its more like a dull very dark grey and not pitch black at all. I get much better richness in color and opacity in the Sharpie brand oil based marker.The next one I opened was one that should have been a fuschia pink based on the cap color. Again, color didn't have that brightness I was hoping for in these, the color seemed rather dull and the color wasn't really close to what the cap color showed. Next one I opened was what should have been a dark purple which isn't what the actual color was at all. It WAS purple at least, but a very light lavender color which was a good 6 shades lighter than what the cap showed. So that was disappointing. The last one I opened was what should have been a light purple shade. The actual color was not even close to what the cap was, it was bubblegum pink. Which, is great if you are wanting a bubbleliscious gum pink but if you were actually wanting a light purple, I guess, use the other purple marker that was supposed to be dark purple but was actually lavender?Because they don't accept returns, I'm kind of stuck with these and I guess I'll use them but I wouldn't have bought them if I knew the colors wouldn't match the caps and also that the colors (at least from what I have seen so far) are all a GREAT deal lighter than what the caps are showing.The pluses are that from what I experienced, there is at least decent opacity so I can say they that going for them at least. But my hunt for more vibrant oil based markers continues and I might just have to break down and buy some of the more expensive ones just to get the colors I need.
