Are these color-fast? I've heard the red/pink ones run. What color do you have and has it faded or bled onto anything?

I have not read anything about the colors bleeding, but we only sell the khaki colored ones and they do not run.ThanksPaulRPW

No, they aren't color-fast but that's why the manufacturer recommends washing them 1st before using them. I bought the varsity blue one and it bled blue dye when I hand washed it so I rinsed it really well but it hasn't bled dye since. My brother has used it multiple times since I got it for him with no further problems and no color fading either. HTH!

I responded before.....this issue of the picture seems to be a relatively new one....when I ordered them it was clear I was getting regular colors. Not the purples and blues

They are more than one shade of subdued pink. They seem to take on or blend well with rusty coral and burgundy shades -- probably because the colors are all blended and shaded. My set does not seem as dark red as the picture.

I bought them in white, but I think it's probably the same. It's more red than pink. It's shiny metal with a logo on it. The cord reinforcements are a orange/brown rubber.

IDK. I wouldn't. I paid for that brand -which reps high quality. I've had them for a few months now. No signs of the Red logos coming off or fading.

I have the orange, the blue, the lime and the other green one, none of them have bleed so maybe it's the way they washed them, I haven't had any trouble at all

I wouldn't say that they bleed, especially if you only highlight with a single pass, but the darker colors can be seen a bit from the other side of very thin paper, like one might find in a Bible. It's not enough to stop me from using them. Far better than other highlighters, except for the waxy kind, which I really don't like.

I also bought the gold ones. It is the beautiful color shown and they wash and dry very quickly and look the same as when new. Mine did not fall apart, quality is excellent. They are silky, but slippery which can be fun or not so fun, depending on the circumstances!

From the picture displayed they look like they are. I had the same ? when I made my purchase. I did read a review that said he received original. I already had tried both. I was hoping for the newer model thinking they would be better. However in my package of 5, one sprung a leak the first week anyway. I made have scraped it on the edge. I still have some originals from 3 yrs ago so I don't think it matters which you get. The color fades faster on the newer generation.

I throw it in the wash on a delicate cycle. If it needs special spot treatment, I use handsoap and scrub at the stain. I wash them continuously. Do they look as good as they did on day 1? No, but they sure are cute!!!

I own them . They're red. Red. Not magenta and not pink. I believe three combined are sixty

Yes, I have. I did however place some inexpensive non woven interfacing (a tablecloth would do) to make sure the colors did not bleed onto my finished item. They worked just fine. I did see no signs of bleeding but better safe than sorry.

They aent super pigmented. They are kind of softer colors. Their is some fallout with them too, but I still like the colors and would probably purchase them again.

My guess is that they are more popular colors?? Mine is pink but I'm female. Did you check out the yellow? I think they're the cheaper price.

This color bleeds less than manic panic does. Shades like red bleed more than the blues and greens. I blowdry my hair after the first few washes, but after that it doesnt bleed!

Pink is suppose to be good however mine were the opposite of good. When you ask about this you may get an answer like this----even though the color is pink, if you store them for more then 6 months we can not guarantee they will work. WHAT,,,,I used them right away but I know company's that come up with that sort of answer only needs never to get my business again.
