Most colour pencil sets contain a handful of fugitive pigments that shift or fade within a few years of daylight exposure, which is why coloured pencil work has struggled to be taken seriously as archival art. Luminance 6901 is built to the ASTM D-6901 standard across the whole range, with 81 of the colours rated LFI, the highest grade. Work made with them is expected to hold its colour for around a century under normal display conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core is wax-based, not oil-based, and heavily pigmented. In practice that means a soft creamy lay-down that burnishes easily and blends without solvent. It is not water-soluble: for a water-soluble Caran d'Ache pencil you want the Supracolor range, not this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe complete Luminance 6901 colour range in a light oak wooden box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNine bestselling shades duplicated, plus two pencil blenders and one full blender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e112 pieces in total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwiss made in Geneva\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessional and archival work, commissioned portraiture, and anyone selling original coloured pencil pieces where permanence has to be guaranteed to the buyer.
