HAND MIXED Solid Paint Marker 66 Edition, Rainbow

The HAND MIXED 66 Edition is a solid paint stick that puts down six colours in a single pass. Rainbow runs orange, red, purple, blue, green and yellow across six cuts of the tip, so one stroke pulls the whole spread at once for a full multicolour line. It's a Japanese label edition, a nod to where this paint originally came from.

The paint itself is the reason these hold up. The formula was developed in Japan by Sakura Color Products in 1978 and still hasn't been matched for a solid multicolour stick; since 2017 each one is hand-mixed by a small team in Barcelona to fuse the colours into one tip. It lays down extremely opaque, dries in 4–7 minutes and holds against weather once it's set. Because it's solid paint and not liquid, there's no dripping or bleeding even when you're working upward — the colour stays where you drag it.

It bites onto most surfaces and handles a wide temperature range, from freezing cold to serious heat, so it works outdoors year-round.
