This highlighter isn't quite like tea, but it's still a very unique color. It has a slight reddish tint to the lightish brown. The color is not overpowering, like the purple version, but stronger than the yellow ocher.

By the way, you can make a cool burnt apple color by overlapping the salmon red with the tea brown. Overlapping the yellow ocher with the brown makes a light wood brown color. Two coats of purple and one of brown makes plum.

So amazed by the colour, it reminds me of... tea. haha. The other end is really thin too, like the size of my 0.5mm pen. Like the other review said it feels like it has a lot of ink in the beginning.

I really like the color of the highlighter. its really pretty and its light brick+light brown color. The barrel is really pretty too. At first there seemed to be too much ink but after highlighting about 5 pages the ink flow was like the other highlighters.

It was an interesting color and I mean come on, how often do you see a brown highlighter..?
So I had to have it ^^
and I love it

Jetpens offers a wonderful array of highlighters to choose from. I have had the pleasure of using every single one (to date except for the new Monami they added this week which is what I am ordering now) and love most of them. The Tombow Kay coat happen to be my least favorite. While I understand why some people will love them for nice color selection or even the quality of ink and the decent flow they produce. But the aspect I dislike about them can't make up for their positive qualities in my opinion. The tips are surrounded by metal to reinforce them I guess but it makes it so you have to be at a very precise angle in order to make a decent line. It makes it very challenging to enjoy using.

One of the great things about these highlighters is they are refillable. Jetpens does not carry the charging stations as of now and I am not sure if they ever will but they are out there. If you are familiar with the Staedtler Textsurfer refilling sysetm they sell on this site it is very similar to that. While I am not suggesting you should purchase other items from a competitor that Jetpens carries I do think it is ethical to suggest Writers Bloc as the store you can get refills to these highlighters. I am also OK suggesting that here becasue you would be crazy to buy anything else from there due ti their outrageous shipping charges, limited choice in products, and delayed shipping times. All of which Jetpens does perfectly. However you can at least use them to get your refill stations.

I have every highlighter offered on Jetpens and like almost everyone. This set though stand out above most others. The colors are great and the ink flow is perfect. The ink is a little wet for really thin paper but all of the textbooks I have used these highlighters with seem to be fine. Great choice for a unique highlighter set.

The colours are really vibrant, easy to use, very precise. The only bad comment that I could make is that sometimes too much ink goes on the paper, but I remarked that this happens when I leave the cap open for a little time. So don't let these highlighters wait open. Also, be careful if you put the cap on the other side of the pen while you're writing, it's sensible to your movement and can swing to the other way of the class (already happened to me)

But nice appearance, don't take too much place, very beautiful colours and also it's nice to have two size of tips.

I recommend these.

A really well made highlighter with a sturdy reinforced chisel tip and a strong fine tip. This one will really make the cleanest lines you'll ever see from a highlighter :) Unfortunately the blue color was a little darker than I was expecting -- definitely NOT pastel, but not too dark for the words (it's not as bad as the blue sharpie highlighter ink!)

I really like these! I use them for my notes to write on PowerPoint print-outs. I absolutely love the little "guides" on the sides of the highlighter tips. They eliminate the problem of the tip breaking/cracking (happens a lot with cheaper generic highlighters). My only gripe is that many of the colors are so light that using the fine-tip to write with is simply silly, because you can't see them on white paper! They are still a high-quality item and work very well and perform exactly as described. The colors are vibrant. I think they even get brighter as they dry (especially the green)!

These are great highlighters. I originally bought a single one, loved how smooth and bright it was, and decided I should invest in the whole set. Well worth the money in my opinion. I have mostly used the broad end for highlighting purposes but having the other fine point tip is a nice bonus if I ever need it.

As I mentioned in another Kay Coat highlighter review (the purple one), these highlighters have great thin tips. The broad edge isn't as awesome.

I had to write a review for this color in particular, though, because it's AMAZING. I love this color! It's a hot pink with a slight orange tint. It's a little too fluorescent to be called salmon, but it's still gorgeous.

BUY IT NOW. You'll find yourself finding reasons to use it... everywhere...

The best part about this highlighter is the thin tip. Unlike other double-sided highlighters, the Tombow Kay Coat's thin tip is very durable. Usually, you have to be careful when using such fragile tips-- it's very easy to squash them and consequently ruin the little nib. However, this highlighter's thin tip resists squashing, making it very reliable.

I tested this with the Uni-ball Propus Window. Compared to the solid Tombow, the Uni-ball's tip was weaker, and was squished slightly to one side, changing its width.


The broad tip isn't as handy. It's hard to make a consistent line with them. You have to place the flat edge against the paper at just the right degree to get the full line. It's not easy to use.


The color is a very appealing purple, but it's too dark for me. While some may consider this boldness a positive trait, the dark color makes it hard to read highlighted text written in dark ink.

I love this color, too. It's a gentle, fluorescent yellow... a creamy gold. Very delicious. If you overlap it enough with the broad tip, you can make a pretty orange color, too!

Fantastic highlighter! Bold color, smooth lines and love having two options of line thickness. Also dries relatively fast so no smearing. Great buy!

Awesome highlighter! This has got to be the first time I've been in love with a highlighter.

The caps attach to each other both ways, which is great. The ink is purple, without being too dark. Also, the highlighter pen is awesome for arrows and little notes.

I NEED MORE OF THESE!

Love it! My favorite highlighter. The color is actually a little lighter and more fluorescent than the picture. Sturdy tips.

Fantastic. . . The number one thing this highlighter does that many others don't. . . It highlights several fountain pen ink writing samples I had close by when first it arrived. I'm in heaven now, but will have to get some more colors! Yippee another chance to order from JetPens!

Perfect orange highlighter. It is a light color if that's what you're looking for.

GORGEOUS color. Very light orange. Nice even lines. This is definitely my favorite orange highlighter.

Another wonderful highlighter. The color is indeed salmon, which is sort of a light red/pink color. So do not expect a true red. The color is beautiful and is a very unique color for a highlighter, which is why I like it. The duel ends are very useful, and I always have this with me.

Wonderful highlighter. Great color, and the duel ends make it wonderful for writing in my textbooks. I use it for pretty much everything.

This has to be the best highlighter I've ever purchased. Not only are both tips high quality, they don't cause bleeding (even on cheap or standard quality paperback paper). Unlike, most highlighters, this one does not cause smearing on documents printed with an inkjet printer. Definitely 5 stars!

I think the color is more lighter and slightly more flourescent than the picture. but it is really really pretty light orange with yellow mixed in it. I absolutely love the color. the color is very very close to the cream yellow by Pilot spotliter 2, but the ink flow is little more heavier and the thinner side of the tip seems very strong, which I like.
