  2. Caran d’Ache coloured pencils: which range has the largest choice of colours?

CHOOSING THE RANGE WITH THE WIDEST CHOICE OF COLOURS

Art and creativity are infinite. When starting an artistic project the variety and range of the colours available is crucial.

By choosing a colour chart that is as harmonious as it is complete, artists, illustrators, those passionate about fine-arts and lovers of colour can widen their means of expression.

As a leading colour expert for over a century, the Maison Caran d’Ache has developed several selections that contain a palette of between 6 and 120 different colours.

So where can you find the widest range of colours for infinite colour combinations? Discover the ranges of Caran d’Ache coloured pencils that have an abundant selection of colour palettes.

THE BENEFITS OF AN EXCEPTIONAL AND HARMONIOUS SWISS MADE COLOUR CHART

 
At Caran d’Ache, the art of colour has been at the centre of our expertise for over a hundred years. In our Geneva workshop, the Maison has developed ranges of colouring pencils with an exceptional variety of colour palettes, with certain ranges containing up to 120 colours.

With its professional-grade ranges of colouring pencils Caran d’Ache perpetuates the heritage of Swiss Made know-how, developing pencils that contain intense, bright and lightfast pigments and that are designed to last and inspire.

CHOOSING THE RANGE OF COLOURING PENCILS THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU


Before looking at the number of colours available, here are a few criteria to consider when determining which range of colouring pencils is best adapted to you.

• The type of coloured pencil: dry or water-soluble, with a soft or hard lead, depending on your technique.

• Lightfast colours: something important to consider if you wish to exhibit your work.

• Water-solubility: some coloured pencils are water-soluble, allowing you to create water-colour effects.

• The number of pencils in your selection: a box of 6, 12, 20, 80 or 120 pencils? Define your needs according to usage.

WHICH RANGES OF CARAN D’ACHE COLOURED PENCILS HAVE THE PALETTES WITH THE MOST VARIETY?

Supracolor™ Aquarelle: 120 colours for unparalleled chromatic freedom

 
This is Caran d’Ache’s widest range of water-soluble pencils when it comes to variety of colours. With 120 available colours, Supracolor™ Aquarelle offers complete creative freedom. Whether used dry or diluted with water, the soft lead makes it easy to cover large areas with intense colour. It’s a range that’s particularly appreciated because of its high concentration of pigments and its immediate water-solubility.

Artists who work with watercolour will appreciate the numerous possibilities of colour gradients and combinations made available by the Supracolor™ Aquarellerange of water-soluble pencils.
