Caran d'Ache Pablo Coloured Pencils 80 Set

The Caran d'Ache Pablo 80-set covers the vast majority of the complete Pablo permanent spectrum in a single professional layout — 80 colors spanning a thoroughly balanced range of warm tones, oceanic blues, heavy forest greens, and specialized neutral greys. At this scale the palette handles everything from intricate wildlife illustration and complex fine art rendering through to portrait work and large-format studio drawing, with enough tonal variety to build smooth, crisp gradients without needing to supplement with single pencils.

Extreme lightfastness across the entire range ensures finished work retains its color values under sustained display conditions. The medium-hard core wears down significantly slower than soft wax alternatives, extending the working life of each pencil. Each barrel is fully lacquered to match the inner pigment color. Housed in a deluxe metal storage box with protective layered inserts holding every pencil individually in place.

Individual colors are also available as single pencils if you want to add specific shades.

For professional fine artists and portraitists who need near-complete Pablo coverage in one organized, permanent studio setup.
