Do I need a big marker set for these palettes?

No. Every palette uses only colors from the Ohuhu Honolulu 48 set (the same colors as the Honolulu B 48). The optional extras come from the Honolulu 120.

Why do the colors look different from my markers?

Screens can't show marker ink exactly, and paper changes how ink looks. Swatch the palette on the paper you color on before you start: our printable color charts make that quick.

How many colors should a page use?

Five to seven colors plus a darker tone for shadows is plenty for a bold and easy page. Fewer colors used well look more finished than many colors used once.
