Ohuhu Maui 60 Colors Dual Tip Markers review: a flexible set for coloring and journaling

What I like most about the Ohuhu Maui 60 Colors set is the flexibility of the dual-tip design. One end has a 0.4 mm fineliner for small spaces, notes, outlines, and fine details, while the other has a soft brush tip for broader strokes, shading, and lettering.

The 60-color range is another strong point. Each color is numbered, and the set includes both a pre-printed swatch card and a blank DIY swatch card. I find that kind of organization especially useful with a larger marker set because it makes it much easier to build a color system instead of relying on cap colors alone.

Who it is for

I think this set is best suited to adults and hobbyists who move between several creative activities. If you enjoy coloring books, journaling, doodling, sketching, lettering, or decorating planners, the two-tip format gives you more flexibility without needing separate pen sets.

The fineliner is the more useful side for detailed coloring and writing, while the brush tip gives you more freedom for broader marks and expressive strokes. That makes the set feel versatile rather than narrowly focused on one type of project.

The ink is water-based, acid-free, odorless, and water-soluble. That also makes the set a more natural fit for people who prefer water-based markers over alcohol-based ones.

What to know before you buy

The biggest thing I would pay attention to is paper.

Thin notebook pages may bleed, especially if you layer color or work the same area repeatedly. I would be much more comfortable pairing these markers with mixed-media paper, watercolor paper, or another heavier stock.

The water-soluble ink also gives you room to create watercolor-style effects. An aqua brush can help blend similar shades into softer gradients, although that tool is not included with the set.

I also like that the package includes five replacement tips: three brush nibs and two fine tips. That is a useful extra for a 60-marker set because a damaged nib does not automatically mean replacing the whole marker.

How it compares

The main difference between the Maui set and alcohol-based markers is the type of ink and the way you are likely to use it.

I would choose the Maui set for coloring books, journaling, planners, doodles, lettering, and water-based effects. The dual tips also make it easy to move between fine details and broader strokes without changing tools.

If I wanted the smoother blending style and saturated layering usually associated with alcohol markers, I would choose a different type of marker. For everyday coloring and journaling, though, I think the Maui 60 Colors set offers a useful balance of color variety, tip flexibility, and easy organization.
