There are 108 marker shades that are meant to bring a vibrant artful touch that highlights PANTONE's color expertise. The vivid color options are all made and tested with PANTONE's exact Matching System. All of the markers are dual-nibbed -- all of which are made with a brush and chisel. This is made for precise application and flexibility with every stroke. The markers are pigment-based as the inks deliver a bright vibrancy. Notably, the markers are water-based but dry quickly to become waterproof when it meets paper.
