Languo 36-Color Retractable Gel Pens Review: The UK's Best Coloured Pen Set for Drawing
Jun 12, 2026
Thirty-six colours in a single retractable gel pen set — that's the creative freedom the Languo 36 Colors Retractable Gel Pens — 0.7mm for Colouring & Drawing delivers. With a comprehensive palette covering the full colour spectrum in smooth, vibrant gel ink, this set is the ideal tool for adult colouring books, illustration, journalling, and any creative project that benefits from a wide colour range. The retractable design eliminates lost caps and dried-out tips, making these pens as practical as they are colourful.
36 Colours: The Complete Creative Palette
Thirty-six colours is the threshold at which a pen set becomes truly comprehensive. With 36 colours, you have:
- All primary, secondary, and tertiary colours
- Multiple shades within each colour family (light blue, mid blue, dark blue, navy)
- A full range of earth tones and neutrals
- Specialty colours including metallics, pastels, and neons
- Enough variety to colour complex illustrations without mixing or compromising
0.7mm Gel Ink: Smooth and Vibrant
The 0.7mm tip produces a medium line that's ideal for colouring and drawing — fine enough for detail work, broad enough to fill areas efficiently. Gel ink is significantly smoother than ballpoint ink, gliding across paper with minimal pressure and producing vibrant, saturated colour that looks beautiful on the page.
Retractable Design: No Lost Caps
The retractable click mechanism is a practical advantage over capped pens. With 36 pens in a set, losing caps is a genuine risk — and a pen without a cap dries out quickly. The retractable design eliminates this problem entirely: click to extend, click to retract, and the tip is always protected when not in use.
Creative Uses for Your 36-Pen Set
Adult Colouring Books
Adult colouring books have been a UK bestseller for years, and a 36-colour gel pen set is the ideal companion. The wide colour range means you can match any colour scheme, and the smooth gel ink produces beautiful, even colour coverage.
Bullet Journalling
Colour-coded bullet journals benefit enormously from a wide colour range. Use different colours for different categories, create gradient effects with adjacent shades, and add decorative colour accents to headers and borders.
Manga and Anime Art
The vibrant colours and fine tip make this set excellent for manga-style illustration, which relies on bold, saturated colours and precise line work.
Card Making and Craft
Add colour to handmade cards, gift tags, and craft projects with a pen set that covers every colour you might need.
