Amazon.com Yes, this pack really does contain 50 distinct colors. Each 6.5-inch felt-tipped pen has a white barrel and a color-coordinated cap, and variations of pink through red alone require about 10 different pens. (It depends on where you think purple ends, or orange begins.) Each pen has a conical tip that makes drawing thick or thin lines easy. And when you have all 50 colors on your best white shirt, it's nice to know that the inks are washable. The only drawback is that the pens come in a thin transparent plastic case that will probably not survive daily use. --Richard Farr Product Description Great for any creative project, Crayola Super Tips Washable Markers can be used to write, draw, or color in large areas.
