I just ordered a few different colours from here :

Letraset - Creative Opportunities - ProMarker Singles

They are quite a good price, at least a lot better than the £30ish for 6 if you buy them from a tackle supplier !!

Hope this helps.
Gary.

Just mix the two colours. I use a lot of Kurecolor pens.

Zig Kurecolor KC1100 Individual Twin Tip Graphic Markers

Much cheaper in the US though.

Breezey,

Was thinking of getting these myself... you might have most colours already now though?

Steve Thornton's swatches may come in handy for you. Kurecolor 544 is what you want for "brown-olive"
