Caran d'Ache Colour Pencils

Caran d'Ache Colour Pencils Online in India

These are Caran d'Ache's dry, permanent pencils, the ones that stay put when water touches them. Luminance 6901 is the reason professionals pay the premium: the whole range meets the ASTM D-6901 lightfastness standard, so finished work holds its colour for decades, and the soft, buttery lead layers and burnishes easily. Pablo has a firmer, water-resistant lead that holds a point for detail. Swisscolor permanent pencils are the school grade.

Which one you need

Buy Luminance for work you will frame, sell or exhibit, and for portraits where subtle layering matters. Choose Pablo for technical drawing, illustration and crisp detail, or as a second set that sharpens to a finer point. The colourless blender pencils smooth and gloss layered colour, and the non-photo blue sketcher lets you draw under ink without the line showing in scans.

Complete the setup

Keep the soft leads intact with a desk sharpening machine from the Caran d'Ache range, work on smooth, slightly toothed paper, and compare Prismacolor and Staedtler colour pencils. Browse all colour pencils.
