I believe that this has been re-produced, results wise, using colored markers. I may have been mistaken, but that is how I recall the experiment. But this was the easy first-hit that can explain, with more detail, how it works. (Well, how the experiment works)
And one thing I just learned about this, but isn't terribly surprising is:
"Asch examined whether the presence of a "true partner" influenced level of conformity.[1][3] This partner was also a "real" participant or another actor that was told to give the correct response to each question. This decreased the level of conformity, especially when the partner was instructed to give correct responses"
