How Too Many Markers works
Built around real Ohuhu marker swatches, not just colours on a screen.
Find palettes and blends from the markers you actually own — and work out which set gives you the most new colours next.
Real markers. Measured colours.
I manually swatched, scanned and measured 339 Ohuhu colours to build the colour library behind Pick.
Pick uses these measured colours alongside colour theory, perceptual colour relationships and Ohuhu’s colour-code system to find combinations that work together.

How Pick works
- 01
Choose your markers
Use all colours, or only the markers you pick in the Colour Library.
- 02
Pick a mode
Choose a smooth 3-colour Blend or a coordinated Palette.
- 03
Get your combination
TMM searches within your selected colours to find combinations that work together.
Blend vs palette
Blend
Three markers selected to create a smooth colour transition.
Palette
A coordinated group of colours designed to work together across a colouring page.
Use the markers you own
TMM knows which colours belong to each supported Ohuhu set. Select the sets you own in Set Finder, or tick the exact markers you have in the Colour Library and send them to Pick.
If the same marker appears in multiple sets, it only counts once.
Find the set that adds the most
Already own several Ohuhu sets? Set Finder compares them to help you understand what another set would actually add to your collection.
Lowest overlap
Find sets with fewer colours you already own.
Fills your gaps
See which sets strengthen colour families missing from your collection.
Biggest expansion
Find the set that adds the largest number of unique colours.
Help keep TMM growing
Too Many Markers is an independent project that I build and maintain. The tools are free to use, and your support helps cover the website and lets me keep adding new marker sets, colours and features.
A note about colour
Screen colours are approximations. Marker appearance can vary depending on paper, ink application, lighting and display settings. TMM’s measured swatches are designed to make marker colours consistently comparable within the tool rather than guarantee an exact screen-to-paper match.
