## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent and good quality
*by A***H on 30 March 2025*

Sooo colourful, soft and waxy texture, you can shade easily with them, and you can blend the colours to make new colours, maybe a little expensive but they are quality I would still definitely recommend though

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So pleased with Procolour
*by T***T on 30 July 2017*

I found the previous review about lightfastness quite a devastating review. Most professional colourists would seem to agree that Luminance pencils hold the reputation of the 'Rolls Royce' of pencils particularly as to lightfastness. However they are SO expensive for the majority of colourists that are not going to exhibit their pictures. I keep my pictures in their books or in a box so they are lightproof virtually all of the time. I do show off some of my efforts but this is done with photographs (where I can also alter the size) and frame accordingly.Now for the pencils - we are all different! Some prefer soft, others hard. My favourite has always been the Faber Castell Polychromos but I decided to invest in these Derwent Procolour after watching reviews on YouTube. As a colourist addict I have many sets of soft and hard pencils and I would place the Procolour on the harder side of soft.They will sharpen to a fine point without crumbling and they layer extremely well. The pigment covers extremely well and I have had no trouble with blending with pencil blenders or liquids.Overall I am extremely pleased and do not regret my purchase in any way. The colour selection is impressive for a 72 set and I am sure that a good colourist knows about blending anyway. The sound advice for colourists is to buy a few of the expensive pencils before making the large commitment of a large set. I wish Derwent Pencils every success with their Procolour sets!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality, useful addition to the sent
*by M***Y on 13 October 2018*

I got smaller sets of prismas and polys and have been adding to them open stock. I bit the bullet with the procolours and bought the 72 set as it's not a huge number of pencils. Immediately I bought them I got buyer's remorse but am now happy to have bought them. They sit between prismas and polys. They won't give you the intense creaminess of prismas but neither will you get the waxy buildup so quickly. They don't have the same brightness as polys but they do some useful muted shades. For instance spruce green is a dull, dark grey green which I don't have already. They deposit pigment well and blend well. I think they blend better than polys. Maybe not as well as prismas. I've given four stars instead of five because I'm mean like that. I can't think of a real minus really.If you want to try one out first, I think some of the more unique colours are mars violet, spruce green, racing green, distant green, kingfisher blue, plum, autumn leaf, nutmeg, grape, EDIT: I find that I don't reach for this very often, mainly for the aforementioned blues and the lovely blue-greens. The laydown is too pale.
