Digital Images shown below were provided by Marvy and, in many cases, aren't very representative of the actual colors. We've put a lot of time into photographing and adjusting colors to create a fairly accurate color chart. Even with all our adjustments, some monitors and operating systems show colors differently. We recommend you print this chart on a color printer to make the best color selections. This color chart is not from Marvy as theirs doesn't accurately print colors and doesn't seem to have been designed for digital printers.

As you collect Marvy Le Plume Permanent colors, catalog them here on your own blank color chart.

If you find you use up a Marvy color in a short time you may wish to replace it with a refillable Copic Sketch Marker. We've provided a list of Closest Copic Colors.

Alcohol based markers like Copics and Marvy LePlume Permanent provide a unique experience for illustrators and paper crafters. They are permanent, even on non-porous surfaces like glass, plastic and metal. Both brands are interchangable, blendable and have similar quality ink. Copics can be refilled and the tips can be replaced when damaged or worn out, while Marvy Alcohol Markers (Le Plume Permanent) are considered disposable. Copic Sketch markers come with two tips, a medium broad tip and a brush tip. Marvy recognized that most paper crafters generally only use the brush tip and by offering their single brush tip solution have been able offer their pens at a great savings. The brush tip has a slightly different feel and seems to naturally hold more ink so it takes less time to saturate your paper. Some customers may like this while others may prefer Copic. The difference is very slight and barely noticable once you use the marvys for a couple minutes.<br><br>Note: Copic states on their website: Using two different marker types together will not harm the Copic markers, but you will not be able to get a smooth blend between Copic inks and other brands. Be careful not to discolor your marker tips with other marker inks.

After mixing these two brands quite a lot we've seen no damage to the tips of either brand and they seem to blend as seamlessly as just using Copics alone. We've also noticed that a Copic nib is not more likely to become stained from Marvy LePlume Permanent inks than it is a similar color of Copic marker. Mixing colors on non-porous surfaces or coated papers is the most common way to discolor a pen nib on either brand. If you do this, scribble with the pen until the original color is restored.
