Wonderful sketching app
Still the best sketching app out there. Doesn’t get in the way of you working. Much more like traditional materials than any other app I have used, and I have used most of the well known ones. Some of those are also great, but tend to require you to adapt to them.

Need to be able to save colors
Yes, it’s uncomplicated. It has a pencil and eraser, color picker, black and white, undó and redo, save and delete. What it doesn't have is the ability to select a color on the paper or the ability to save colors- at least afaict. It’s strange not to have those because they simulate colored pencils - not oils or acrylic, where it's almost a given that the artist will mix paints and produce shades that aren't in the box. I can blend pencils, too, but I can also reach into my tray of Prismacolor pencils and pull out a specific color. Not here. Here, I have to guess or approximate what I used 7 layers previously. Whoops! No layers either? Granted, this has good pressure sensitivity, but in so many other ways, Apple’s Markup can do so much more, even if I only use the pencil and none of the other tools.
