Yellow or gtfo

Yellow, can live with pink

Other, whatever comes out of the packet next (pink at the moment).

Yellow and orange annoy me, but anything else is fine.

Can't really be doing with highlighters. Often it seems the wielder has absolutely no control over its use. Just goes berserk.

xp Yellow can be hard to see under certain lighting.

Green highlighter ink, the really lurid dayglo stuff, is beautiful.

I used to draw 'psychedelic' (ie, not psychedelic at all) patterns using a permanent marker and a highlighter.

PURPLE

orange. my pet hate is blue highlighter pens which actually make things harder to read.

To be honest I only ever use highlighters on documents that only I'm going to read. Otherwise it seems a bit fascistic, like saying to the other person "YOU! WILL ONLY! LOOK! AT THE WORDS! THAT I! HAVE HIGHLIGHTED! AND NOTHING! ELSE!"

Yellow - it's easier to read through the block of colour.

― emil.y, Wednesday, 25 January 2012 18:13 (fourteen years ago)

Yellow. I want to like other ones but they're just never as good. Sorry other colors.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 25 January 2012 18:14 (fourteen years ago)

P sure yellow has the lowest grey value = why I like it most

― no more mr. nice girls (Abbbottt), Thursday, 26 January 2012 03:08 (fourteen years ago)

Yellow. For some reason the ink is always more satisfying in a yellow than the other colors.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Yellow. The original is still the best. But I don't use highlighters. It's very rarely that they are the right tool.

― Aimless, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 00:10 (thirteen years ago)

i prefer green and i want to love blue but i cant. its shite.

― I just got back from a dream attack (sunny successor), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 02:14 (thirteen years ago)

Yellow, as long as it super-bright and not just, y'know, yellow.

Orange is my second choice.

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 02:16 (thirteen years ago)

I'm old school, I use pen and circle stuff. I do use highlighters for sketching, though.

Pink, definitely. It's a dark enough color to see under most lighting conditions but not as dark as blue, which often muddles my pen ink.

Underline 4ever, highlighters are crazy

― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:13 (thirteen years ago)

Pink isn't so bad tho, when absolutely necessary
