Review: Best colored pencils i own - Absolutely amazing pencils. I have tons of colorer pencils from cheap sets to expensive sets, prismas, derwent, kalour you name it, and the Polychromos and by far my favorite. I don't like really soft pencils I like a little harder pencils thats easier to color small details and these are great for that. They lay color so nicely and they feel amazing in my hand. If you're on the fence about buying them, I highly recommend buying them. You'll be looking to buy all of them
Review: Stunning colored pencils! - So I’ve used quite a few colored pencils. Prismacolor was my favorite because I thought it could not get any better than Prismacolor. Come to figure out, it’s no longer my favorite colored pencil anymore. Polychromos is expensive, but the investment is worth it as these are very high quality. I’ve not had a single breakage after 4 full color drawings and they hold a point for a LONG time, they are very pigmented and layer beautifully, no wax bloom, beautiful colors, nice thick core, easy to hold and color with, they sharpen well and not to mention the lovely shavings smell of cedar wood! Knowing that each color is lightfast with no fade for a lifetime is icing on the cake. Polychromos is the best colored artist pencil I’ve ever used. I highly recommend these colored pencils to anyone who has the patience to use these correctly with the right paper to just buy these! It is not a waste of money and I’m getting a larger set.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Q:  What is the difference between the Faber-Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils and the Faber-Castell PITT Pastel Pencils?**
A: First of all, I think the Polychromos colored pencils are awesome!  They are oil-based and produce a nice, rich, smooth color.  Color pencils are somewhat semi-transparent, meaning that the overlay color is effected by the color below it.  Pastel pencils are powdery, so consequently they produce a matte finish.  However, they overlay more easily than color pencils.  While I like the look of pastels, I prefer to use color pencils, as I don't like the powder that pastels create.  Unless I'm working outside, I feel the need to be careful, as I don't want the excess powder on someone's floor or table.  If you google colored pencils vs. pastel pencils, you will probably find a better explanation, but I hope this helps.

**Q: what colors are in this set?**
A: There is one white and one black, three shades of yellow, light yellow glaze which is a bright neon color, cadmium yellow, also bright but not neon, dark chrome yellow which is almost an orange but not quite. Two shades of orange, dark cadmium orange which is a true orange and pale geranium, closer to scarlet orange. The three reds, deep scarlet red is bright, dark red, and magenta which is purplish red. Four blue pencils, none are warm tones however. Helioblue-reddish is NOT purple, but a deep royal blue. Ultramarine and light ultramarine are both cool colors, shades you would see in an iceburg, the pale blues. Phthalo blue is the only bright blue there is, only a shade or two darker than sky blue. There are four greens, two deep colors, dark phthalo green and emerald green. Light green is almost neon but not quite and earth green yellowish is an olive color. The four browns are venetian red, a reddish tone, burnt ochre, raw umber and walnut brown. Then two grays, warm gray two, pale color, and warm gray five, dark.

**Q: Does anyone know if these would blend (or work) with Derwent Inktenses?**
A: Inktenses are a watersoluable ink. Wet once then it is permanent. Can be used together on a multi-media but will not blend. Use a wax base with a wax base, or an oil with another oil base for easy color blending. Hope that helps.

**Q: are these professional or student-grade? or mostly for doodling, coloring and art journaling? (looking for both kinds, separately) thank you!**
A: Definitely professional grade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best colored pencils I've ever used, hands down
*by D***E on June 10, 2025*

I've been making art for well over a decade now, and I've never found colored pencils that work this well before. I've tried Prismacolor, Crayola, and other brands that aren't as well known like Star Joy, but none of them have even come close to comparing to the Polychromos. They're creamy without being TOO creamy, they sharpen and hold a point well, and you can really build up the intensity of the color, something I've found more difficult with other pencils. It's easy to get get light washes or brilliant swaths of color depending on how much pressure you use. The variety of colors in the 24 pack is perfect! There are enough options that you can make the color you want by layering but not so many options that it feels overwhelming. The metal tin is wonderful for storage too. Honestly, I can't wait until I can afford to buy more of these. I cannot recommend them enough!
