Faber-Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils are widely considered to be the finest professional colored pencils on the market. Their wide range of 120 vibrant colors are made from high quality pigments and are supremely lightfast, acid-free, smudge-proof, and water resistant.

The oil-based lead lays down buttery soft, and layers and blends beautifully, without the wax-bloom of other brands. The thick 3.8 mm leads and cedar casing are securely bonded to prevent breakage, so you can keep a nice sharp point and won’t have trouble with crumbling tips. Pencils come presharpened, and are color coordinated with other Faber-Castell products.

12 Color Set - This Polychromos Colored Pencil Set includes one each of Black, Burnt Ochre, Cadmium Yellow, Dark Cadmium Orange, Deep Scarlet Red, Emerald Green, Light Green, Light Ultramarine, Magenta, Phthalo Blue, Walnut Brown and White.
