FABER-CASTELL sets the highest standards in manufacturing its artists' colours. It gives top priority to the use of high-quality materials, including light-fast pigments, and the tough leads are a result of the Secural bonding process. The wide spectrum of colours is based on pure pigments, ensuring high covering power and lasting brightness.

Faber-Castell POLYCHROMOS artists' colour pencils have particularly soft waterproof wax leads. Their smoothness and resistance to smudging makes them a pleasure to use. The leads are not brittle, and can be sharpened to a very fine point; this allows you to draw filigree detail as well as cover extended areas completely with colour.

The excellent covering power of Faber-Castell POLYCHROMOS artists' colour pencils means that they can be used on a wide variety of materials such as paper, card, wood, or even fabrics. High quality pigments in unsurpassably lightfast bright colours, the leads are 3.8mm diameter.
