I am looking for some very bright (not primary colored, per se) markers for floral cards. I do have a large set of Spectrum Noir but don't find the colors as bright as I'd like. Do I have to venture into Copics  to get bright colors? |

What about Tombows? I used them before I started down the Copic hole. They're not alcohol though. Altenew has alcohol markers now too.

Mikes has an extensive artist loft collection now and open stock. Maybe check them out. They would work with your spectrum markers.

I bought a big set of Sharpies on sale at Staples for about $10. This gave me a big assortment of both primary and brighter colors. Most had about two shades of a color, like a light pink and a darker pink. I use an uncolored alcohol marker to blend; like a Copic blender marker. The only Copics I have bought are for an expanded earth tones such as browns and greys for animals and skin tones. HTH.

Nah, lots of brands have strong colour ranges!
It's actually for the very light and subtle tones (& skintones) that most people gravitate to Copics. Shinhan Touch, ProMarker, Prismacolor (though they're not much less inexpensive) and Ohuhu all have lots of bright options.
