red marker

Scarlet writing tool

A red marker is a felt-tipped pen with red ink, used for writing, drawing, or highlighting.

Red markers commonly appear in classrooms for grading papers and in offices for marking corrections or emphasis: The teacher circled the errors in red marker.

Like other colored markers, they range from fine-point to broad-tipped varieties.
