Polychromos

Polychromos is a line of high-quality artist-grade colored pencils manufactured by Faber-Castell. These pencils are renowned for their rich pigmentation and lightfastness, meaning the colors are vibrant and resistant to fading over time. The core of a Polychromos pencil is made from a high concentration of pigment dispersed in a wax-oil binder, which contributes to their smooth application and blendability. They are available in a wide spectrum of colors, often sold individually, in sets of varying sizes, or as part of a larger art supply collection. The pencils feature a break-resistant lead due to a special bonding process. Polychromos are widely used by professional artists, illustrators, and hobbyists for a variety of drawing and coloring techniques, including layering, cross-hatching, and creating subtle tonal transitions. Their versatility makes them suitable for detailed work as well as larger compositions.
