Ohuhu is one of the best-known Amazon-first art brands. We cover its brush-tip [Honolulu](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/ohuhu-honolulu/) and its water-based [Maui](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/ohuhu-maui/) markers in their own guides; this guide is about the Oahu line and its best-selling 40-color set. ## How popular is it? **The 40-color Oahu set is one of the most-rated alcohol marker sets on Amazon.** On October 23, 2026, it showed 4.7 stars from 15,245 ratings, No. 2,117 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing and No. 33 in Drawing Markers. Amazon's review summary says buyers like the quality and how the colors blend, and find the set fine for beginners; it also notes some colors look a little off and the ink bleeds through paper. ## Ohuhu Oahu specs | Spec | Ohuhu Oahu (40-color set) | |---|---| | Tips | Chisel + fine bullet | | Line width | Fine 1–2 mm, chisel 1–6 mm (Ohuhu listing image); 1–4 mm (Amazon spec table) | | Ink | Alcohol-based dye ink, refillable | | Set | 40 colors + colorless blender (Amazon); 40 including blender (Ohuhu store) | | Body | PP plastic, color-coded caps | | Extras | Carrying case | | Set box | 6.1 × 4.13 × 4.13 in (155 × 105 × 105 mm), 16 oz, per Amazon | | Price band | $ (under $5 per marker) | ![Ohuhu Oahu line widths drawn to scale: fine tip 1 to 2 mm and chisel 1 to 6 mm](https://stationerytimes.com/images/ohuhu-oahu-tips.svg) *Oahu fine and chisel line widths, drawn to scale from Ohuhu's listing image.* ## How do you use the chisel and fine tips? **Hold the chisel flat for broad, even fills and turn it on its edge for narrower strokes; use the fine tip for outlines and small details.** That's why Ohuhu's listing image gives the chisel a range, 1–6 mm, rather than one width. Alcohol ink dries fast and blends while still wet, so you lay a light color first and work a darker one into it. Ohuhu's buyers note on Amazon that the colors blend without needing a separate blender marker. ## Should you pick Oahu or Honolulu? **Pick Oahu for flat fills, lettering and outlines; pick Honolulu if you want a flexible brush for painterly blending.** | | Ohuhu Oahu | [Ohuhu Honolulu](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/ohuhu-honolulu/) | [Copic Sketch](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/copic-sketch/) | |---|---|---|---| | Tips | Chisel + fine | Brush + chisel | Brush + chisel | | Refillable | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Made in | China (Galaxus) | China (Digitec) | Not stated | | Price band | $ | $ | $$ | The chisel lays broad, even strips and the fine tip draws lines, so Oahu suits lettering, design sketches and coloring books with clear outlines. Our [best alcohol markers](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-alcohol-markers/) roundup compares more sets, including another Amazon-first option, [Caliart](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/caliart-alcohol-markers/). ## Which Oahu sets can you buy? **Ohuhu's store lists Oahu sets of 36 skin tones, 36 grays, 40, 48 pastels, 60, 100, 120, 160, 200 and 320 colors, plus single markers.** The 40-color set is the usual starter; the 48 pastels and the skin-tone and gray sets add colors to an existing collection rather than standing alone. Single markers sell by color code, so you can replace a color you use up instead of buying a new set. Ohuhu is moving its alcohol markers to a new color-code system; it says the ink and nibs are unchanged, and a conversion chart matches old and new codes. ## Who makes Ohuhu Oahu markers, and where? **Ohuhu sells in the US through Ohuhu Inc. in Newark, California, and Galaxus lists the Oahu set as made in China.** The USPTO lists the OHUHU trademark, registered July 28, 2015, as owned by Yiwu Thousand Shores E-Commerce Co. Ltd. in Yiwu, China. The Amazon listing is sold by Ohuhu Direct, whose seller profile names Ohuhu Inc. in Newark. Neither Ohuhu's store nor Amazon gives a country of origin; Digitec Galaxus lists China. ## How much does it cost? **It's in our $ band: the 40-color set works out well under $5 a marker.** Ohuhu's store and Amazon both sold it when we checked on October 23, 2026. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the difference between Ohuhu Oahu and Honolulu?
