I got the apricot/red-orange, and while there is nothing wrong with it, it is definitely on the darker side compared to the photos. It behaves most like a chisel-tip marker, and therefore, is much more comparable to a different brand's "mild" offerings. . . . . so it seems to share those pitfalls as well. It feels a bit "heavy" for most of the use cases I have, and has significant showthrough on thinner paper. If you want a marker-like highlighter, it will certainly do the job, but for me, I'm still not reaching for it all that often. I do like the barrel, though; it is very compact & thin, ensuring it feels different from the rest of your pencil case & making sure it will fit inside with other tools. I may feel differently if I ever try other colors down the line, though, too.

Lightweight. Highlights smoothly (no squeaky sounds). Would be interested in other colors.
