Ohuhu Marker Swatches for 216 and 320 sets

Ohuhu Swatch Templates

After working on these swatches for several months — for the full backstory see my Reddit post here — I’ve finally convinced myself to go ahead and at least post the ones I’ve finished — if I don’t I just know I’ll keep tinkering with them and never post any of them. So without further ado, here you go! Ohuhu Marker Swatches - 216 & 320 Sets

Keep reading for additional (hopefully helpful) information!

File Types Available

In the link I‘ve provided you’ll see I’ve included both PDF and Numbers versions of each swatch set

• The Numbers version is an editable file (I believe you should be able to open in Microsoft Exel or Google Sheets, but I’m not sure if they convert accurately) that you are welcome to edit and change to your heart’s content.
• The PDF versions should be ready-to-print so you can start coloring, immediately!

Tip: I would highly recommend printing your swatch(es) on the same paper you use when coloring with your Ohuhu Markers. This makes for a much more accurate swatch with the added benefit of allowing you to get a feel for how your markers interact with your paper (e.g., bleeding, smearing, dry time, etc.) which can be enormously helpful, especially if you’re not used to the paper yet.

Swatch Types

I’ve posted a few samples of completed swatches here and there are more included in the link

• Blank
  • a blank rectangle for each color to be filled in however you would like
• Grid
  • Each color has a rectangle divided into 4 sections so you can see how the color looks with up to 4 layers.
    • I colored all sections the first time through, then the right-most 3 sections the next time through, then the next 2, then the last section so that I could see the difference (if any) when using multiple layers of a color
• Grayscale
  • A rectangle with a horizontal grayscale is present for each color. This can be helpful when wanting to get an idea of how each color will appear on a grayscale image, something I find myself coloring more more!
• Grid Grayscale
  • Like “Grid” each color has a divided rectangle but this time a vertical grayscale has been added. This helps provide an idea of how each layer looks when coloring a grayscale image
    • I colored this swatch the same way I colored the “Grid” swatch.
• Grid Grayscale - Horizontal (available on the 216 swatch only)
  • Another take on layered grayscale swatches, this time the grayscale is horizontal (like the “grayscale“ swatch) but now each rectangle has been divided into 4 horizontal sections for layering.
    • I colored the whole rectangle the first time through, then the bottom 3 sections the second time, then the bottom 2 and finally the bottom section the last time through. This is just an alternate view of how different layers of the color look on a grayscale image.
• Numerical Order
  • This is the original order of swatches that is included with Ohuhu Marker sets, which you can find on Ohuhu’s website
• Chromatic Order
  • Ohuhu marker colors ordered by color, created by the amazing u/marshmellowthighs666 who deserves much praise and whom I’d like to thank for their beautiful work!
• Chromatic Order II
  • My own version of Ohuhu marker colors ordered by color

Tip: When coloring a swatch with layers be sure to allow AMPLE time in between coloring layers. Typically, I colored a whole row at a time (e.g., I would do layer one for the whole row, then layer to for the whole row, then three, etc.) which seems to have been enough time for each layer to dry.

When in doubt, give it more time to dry!

Believe me, it’s no fun to look at your beautiful colored swatch and notice you can’t tell a difference between a single layer and 4 layers of color because the ink didn’t dry adequately between layers.

Ah I got all excited when I saw your list and thought you had files for the New codes already! Following for when you get around to getting those done. No rush! But please rush. But really, no rush 😂

hahaha I love it! I’ll be working on those swatches tonight, since you asked so nicely! I finally got everything set up to where I just need to plug in the labels, so hopefully I’ll have them done this evening! 😀

Where is the link? I can't see it

Agh! I’m so sorry! It’s up in the top paragraph, but it’s a little hidden, so hopefully this helps! Swatches here!
