Coming out with a black highlighter is a surprise addition to the newest Stabilo Boss Original color range. The most common color for highlighters is yellow because it is bright and vivid which brings attention to the written text. The black highlighter, however, is ideal for hiding, striking through, and underlining text.
With today’s use of highlighters in hand lettering, sketching, shading, and adding colors, the black marker is proving to be a useful and versatile tool. Its rich and deep black ink allows smooth and precise lines, making it ideal for shading, adding depth, and creating striking contrasts to any creative project.
“Whether you’re sketching, illustrating, or working on mixed-media projects, the black marker offers endless possibilities for expressing your creativity,” says Mun Kit Leong, head of regional marketing and product management for Stabilo.
The black marker is just one of the unique colors of the Nature Colors collection by Stabilo which includes natural tones such as beige, sienna, umber, warm grey, Earth green, and mud green.
“Stabilo has taken inspiration for this color range from the interior design and fashion industries, where natural tones have become a prevailing trend. These new colors reflect the ubiquitous nature-inspired palettes found in contemporary design and fashion, allowing users to stay on-trend and express their creativity with a harmonious color scheme,” Leong continues. “This exciting addition to the range aims to cater to the needs of creative individuals, hobby artists, students, fans of muted highlighters, and trend-savvy individuals who seek a touch of elegance in their daily lives.”
At the launch event held at The Block SM North EDSA, visual artists Nelz Yumul (doodle illustration), Maricar Ramos (expressive calligraphy), Mark Dean Lim (watercolor), and Harvey Tolibao (creative illustration) demonstrated to the crowd their drawing techniques by using their favored Stabilo Boss pens and highlighters. Comic artist Tolibao is best known for his work on characters such as Iron Man and Psylocke for Marvel and Green for DC comics. Currently, he is working on Star Wars High Republic Adventures.
Also at the demonstration table were Fine Arts student Danthird Sanchez and art enthusiast Ricka Mae Lesona who sampled different Stabilo products in their artworks and tried out the new nature-inspired colors.
“As you explore this collection, we invite you to join us in our mission to protect and nurture the environment through small everyday choices. Through conscious consumption, we can all make a difference and save the precious ecosystem we call home,” Leong says. “Our new collection of nature-inspired colors is a testament to our dedication to environmental conservation. Each hues are carefully curated to the vibrancy and diversity of the natural world.”
“We introduced the NatureColors and we hope we have inspired you to embrace the beauty of nature and take action to protect them. Together let’s celebrate creativity and conservation and pave the way for a brighter and more sustainable future,” adds Leong.
