Gel pens are one of the most popular coloring tools for adult coloring books today—and it’s easy to understand why.

Gel pens have fine tips perfect for filling in intricate patterns and designs, and—most importantly—they come in a huge range of incredible colors!

At GelWriter, we do our best to put the C-O-L-O-R in coloring! Our pens are available in 70 unique colors and six distinct ink styles. Here’s a closer look at the many different colors that make up the GelWriter rainbow:

Glitter

Glitter gel pens are a favorite for a reason—they sparkle. Glitter in the ink twinkles on the page when it catches the light, adding a whimsical touch of magic to your artwork. A favorite for adult coloring books, glitters are also fun for cards, invitations, signs…and just about anything!

Try glitters for: fairies and fantasy creatures, underwater scenes, feathers, mandalas

Metallic

Metallic gel pens create a smooth, uniform sheen on the page that catches the light—and the eye! GelWriters come in a huge range of metallic colors which complement each other and add interesting highlights to any color scheme. Using different shades of the same color creates depth and texture in your coloring—we love the rich purples and golds together.

Try metallics for: fish, reptiles, jewels, waves, highlights

Neon

Nothing brightens up your artwork like a burst of neon color. Neon GelWriters come in six complementary colors—and in glitter! The fluorescent shades will make an eye-catching design on their own, and create a fun contrast when used with coordinating colors. Try combinations like basic green with neon yellow, or pastel blue with neon orange.

Try neons for: butterflies, fish, geometric patterns, highlights

Pastel

Pastel gel pens are available in a range of colors that coordinate easily with just about any color scheme. They contrast beautifully with darker tones, and are perfect for blending. But pastels aren’t just for Easter eggs and spring flowers—use them on black paper to make their true colors really pop!

Try pastels for: birds, flowers, doodle art, paisley patterns

Basic

Sometimes all you need are a few standard colors in rich, saturated hues. Classic shades like blue, green, and red are versatile and go beautifully with any color scheme. Try using basics with glitter gel pens in a matching color for a subtle sparkle effect, or create a stunning contrast with neons and metallics.

Try basics for: animals, botanical designs, outlining, Zentangle
