My Top 10 Tombow Dual Brush Pen Colours | Swatches + Colour Palette Ideas

[@AlexBazenga]

You have the most beautiful well organized Hobonichi planner I've seen! Aesthetic, beautiful!

[@JoyfulClementinaPlans]

No one would argue those doodles are ugly. Pretty much everything you draw and/or write comes out perfect 😍

[@sukanyan9293]

Sooo true

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Omg thank you haha. I was just in such a rush XD

[@torikellyreeves]

I will have to agree that the tombow dual brush pens are some of my favorite markers to use not only for calligraphy but for coloring as well. The large brush tio allows for flexibility and the bullet tip allows very fine detail. Here below I list my top 12 tombow colors. My top 12 tombow colors : 845- carmine 933- orange 055 -process yellow 173- willow green 195-light green 451-sky blue 452-process blue 553-mist purple 620-liliac N15- black 772- dusty rose 990- light sand

[@wickednailsrylee]

I was literally just trying to figure out what color Tombows to buy, this is so helpful and beautiful as always!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Ahhh glad it was helpful! Thank you Christy!!!

[@jojosaylor8996]

Buy all 96 and new colors are cool to you can't go wrong either way

[@jiungieluvs]

my personal favourite is 192 - an asparagus green. it’s so beautiful, and there is a darker version too but the light one allows for highlighting. i just love this colour because sage green is such a beautiful choice for my notes, and absolutely natural.

[@karenfair7799]

Thanks for the inspirations. I need to see what colors I have to do similar palettes and make doodles! I’ll note the colors for future gift ideas for myself…like Valentine’s Day (don’t need flowers or chocolates, just planner supplies😆)

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Hehehe I like your comment about the gifts ;) I'm the same way!

[@scrapowlame1153]

I honestly look forward to ever Sunday just so I can see what you have filmed for us! It’s such a creative inspiration! Thank you 💖!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Omg this made me so happy! Thank you Ame!

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

I hope you treated yourself to a tasty lunch! This video just makes my mind explode with possibilities. I love your art and seeing these quick drawings from you is an absolute treat! Thank you so much.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

I sure did!!!! Thank you so much Katie and I'm glad you enjoyed it~

[@ChappyPlans]

I’m so glad I found your channel!!! You are incredibly gifted, inspiring, and so lovely to watch! Thank you for this information and for sharing!

[@candlepenforasmr8605]

I just saw this channel today, very useful!!!

[@Hangland29]

Love your doodles and the way you broke down how the colors can be used together. Thanks for sharing!

[@caithenry8429]

I've been looking at picking up some new Tombow markers, so this is perfect! Grabbed my current swatch list to double check which ones I want to get

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

YAY! Have fun shopping--new colours are always exciting

[@dixie1908]

I can’t love this enough. Thank you! I would love more doodling and tombow color combo videos!

[@ratbag113]

I absolutely love this video!! I can’t afford to buy all the colours but I had no idea which ones to purchase. This has given me an idea of how to work out what I would mostly use. I can build up my collection this way instead. I love love love this video and found it so interesting. Please could you do more like this!

[@jojosaylor8996]

I brought open stock 4 or 6 at a time for two years. Take your time buying them and enjoy them

[@lindasilkwood3468]

Thank you Helen! Such pretty and good ideas. Here's a combo 8 tried and absolutely love! Tomboy 533+757. Gorgeous purple results that is my jam!!!

[@jessicalott4358]

Love your doodles and your thoughts about color! Some of your colors choices were not ones I usually gravitate towards, but they turned out so well that I’d like to try them. I would love if you did a doodle washi collection with your sketchy doodles, like the little fruits, trees, and the florals.

[@tatianavelasco1335]

These Tombow markers are so cute for writing my planner! I love those tombow dual brush markers so so much!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Yesss love these markers so much~

[@planwithabi]

Loving all the muted tones! I will definitely be purchasing some tombow dual brush pens now.. I've been convinced. Thank you Helen ❤️

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching Abi!

[@colleennewton7882]

Loved this tutorial Helen, you’ve opened my eyes to so many possibilities, thank you so much xx

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

This makes me so happy to hear! Thank you Colleen!

[@BooksandCoffeereads]

This is such a pretty color palette, I love them!

[@johannajournaled]

Love this, Helen! 😍 Side note: I also love 772, and it’s probably my favorite Tombow Dual Brush Pen. 💖

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

SAME! The perfect pink!

[@charissasplans]

I loved seeing how you use all of the colors. As always, it’s truly inspiring!!

[@rebeccacoronado3528]

Your doodles are soooo cute and your handwriting absolutely beautiful. Need to get those colors!!!!

[@juliangelus]

I have just ordered all of these Tombows, as they fit my need perfectly

[@maryregan6114]

Completely excellent video! I love color but I struggle to come up with cohesive pallets. So appreciate this one Helen!

[@trishmnky29]

I'm picky about my purples too. I prefer more blue toned purples. Great color selection for sure!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Same here!!! I have yet to find a mid-dark purple I like o_o Only ones that are borderline grey haha

[@kimikobuford]

Happy Sunday Helen. I will copy the colors I don’t have. Which are only 3 I don’t have. 💞

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Happy Sunday Kimiko!!

[@ItsjustmeAR]

I love love love your color blobs. They are the best doodles!

[@TessaOswin]

I currently have 4 tombows and I’ve found I like the light colours in them. I have the crayola super tips which do me for brighter colours but the brush tips are so useful for lighter colours to write over. But it is lovely to see the muted colours which are lacking in other brands. You have definitely help me pick my next pens.

[@LingLing-gu9mb]

More colour talks and matching or even using these for decoing pleasee, Helen~ This was soooo interesting to watch! 😍

[@dahliablack1741]

💛💚💙 sssooo helpful as a non-artist that loves art and doodles!

[@AleksandraStalmach]

I loved learning about new Tombow colours. And I’m not an artist but I found this video really accessible. Like maybe I could try to doodle and make it look even half as good as those I’d be happy!

[@2BRnot2BRipper]

I’m going to do the same thing today in my daily spread, Baby Bear. Love it and love you!!! 😘😘😘😘👍

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Love you more Helen!!!! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

[@creatingwithaloha]

I ❤️ this video. I wanted to get ideas of what other Tombows to get! Thanks for sharing your ideas!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so so much for watching! I'm glad it was helpful~

[@tcconnection]

Do you have a video going over top 3 journals or top other supplies?

[@phyllisroark8526]

I'm not that much into the different Pen's BUT this was cute and fun to watch. I can't wait until you branch out and do random washi tapes. LOVE everyone you've made in the past! As always thanks for taken your time to share with us. Have a great day Helen!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Phyllis!!! Haha what do you mean random washi tapes??? I'm curious to know since I'm designing for an upcoming preorder!

[@phyllisroark8526]

@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo When I say random washi tapes, I'm talking about like the flowers you done today or the fruit. I truly love all your washi tapes in the past. Some times just something simple is nice as well. Please don't take it the wrong way. I feel like I'm not saying it right. I'm sorry I do hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Thanks for the reply.

[@budgetworks9822]

This is one of my favoritest video of yours. Haha I don’t make sense either cause I just love it!!!! You are so talented

[@sanha5191]

those doodles are GORGEOUS

[@angelachiazzese]

What an amazing video. I just wanted to invest in some and was wondering where to start. Perfection.

[@TanOli20]

Really loved this video. I now have a few more Tombow colors on my wishlist 💖

[@tarynelliott9046]

Super cute vid! Love how you can make a doodle out of nothing! Such a talent.

[@Violingirl1177]

Helen!! Omg I have lost touch with the planning community for a couple years now but ngl I have been binging your videos lately of using your hobonichi cousin and it makes me want to go back into planning again 🥺😩

[@Livinginthemoment2016]

Thank you very much for the cute ideas! You are so talented, even if this looks so simple, when I do it… it doesn’t look as beautiful 💕😀🙏🏻 Oh and I hope you had a yummy lunch😘

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Aww thank you Elke! I hope you try! And I definitely ate a yummy lunch right after ;)

[@beyondelsewhere]

Why yes, I did take a photo of my tv screen this morning so I could check and see if I have these tombow colours in my collection. hahah

[@mariahsmall487]

That page is so pretty!!

[@sukanyan9293]

Agreed

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Mariah!

[@awakenedheartroom]

that blue is pretty !

[@trantran1467]

Thank you Helen! Do you recommend any resources to learn more about color and how to combine colors in doodles?

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

HMMMMM I haven't found any that are non-technical. The Art of Colour was really eye-opening but it's more so in the context of painting. Perhaps this is a guide I should make hahaha

[@kiwiclouds8256]

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, you bullet jornal is the most beautifull i ever see

Ooh - I only have a handful of these, and never realised they could be layered to give darker shades. How did I not know this? Genius...

[@janeo14]

Love this video Helen! So fun as usual. May I ask how did you like that book ahhh story of every color ? I’m not sure of the title. You mentioned this before and up until now I’m curious it you like it. Kinda want to find it and read it up too 😊

[@gwenmp29]

I love this. Thank you Helen. Now I gotta raid my tombow stash and see if I have all those colors. I always have trouble picking color schemes so I always go for rainbow XD. Hope you had something good to eat for lunch. :D

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Hahaha thank you!!!! I can't remember what I had... mostly because I was so hungry haha

[@planandtravelwithdumont9967]

That's so cool! Go lunch, girl!! Haha 😂 I know you already did! Haha your arts are amazing! Yeah, colors just make me so happy, I'm all into grey and pink together too. You chose the best top 10 colors for sure... I love your wintery flowers, there's something blue on them, (I didn't mean to make a pun with the word blue), but that makes me wanna write about feelings. And that's when we see how powerful the colors can be to describe our mood. If we're happy, bright colors definitely describe it well, the same goes when we're sad. I can't stop telling you how tallent you are.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Omg thank you so so much!!! You described it perfectly. Thank you again for making my day (and you know I love puns hehe)

[@AleksandraStalmach]

Also, 772 is my fav colour too!

[@elizabethcastro2069]

Are these all in one package or do you buy them individually? Love this though! Thank you, getting back into sketching and never had these kinds of pens so this is a great place to start. Thanks :)

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

I typically buy mine individually!!! But if you are having trouble picking, their premade sets are great. Thank you so much Elizabeth

[@castroliz24]

Thank you so much!! Sad I found your channel after I just finished school but I love this!!

[@michellehoang576]

Very cute doodles.

[@kinogodt]

Which number is the blue in your rainbow spread, please?

[@Stormbrise]

The periwinkle color is also one of my favorites. I love green and blues, ocean colors. However, I am not an artist with ink, I do beadwork (Native American)

[@marco_panda4606]

* the “/“ are tone tags in case anyone may misunderstand what I mean. I strongly agree with the grays and th purples. It’s just so aesthetically pleasing!!!! You are also right, anything with gray is just ICONIC. It’s a perfect combo. I like having greens and purples with grays but I tend to get a shade too dark or a shade too light. I’m bad with color but I know I can always rely on gray to make things look at least cohesive./ genuine I also think Helen might be a little biased in terms of grays since that’s her favorite color hehe./ joking/ light hearted I also really like what you did with the fish, yes its weird but I genuinely think its quite cute but I’m biased bc I like adding weird shapes and doodles in my bullet journal just so its fun and engaging for me and it lets me be creative. / Light hearted

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

I didn't know about tone tags--what a cool thing! I appreciate all of your comment Marco
