Review: Highly pigmented, melt and blend in water well! - Creamy, water soluble crayons. Nice pigmentation. I tried this small set to use much like pastels, and I like them. They blend well and don't get muddy. Easy to blend with a little water. I will probably get a larger set. These are fun and they go great with watercolors, Brushes and other powdered watercolors, great in mixed media, too! Resist with watercolor resist or other resists that work with watercolors, like oil pastels, wax crayons, etc. These are very nice, well pigmented crayons! These are professional quality.
Review: Great set of creamy vivid colors! - This is a good size set of 84 different colors. I swatched them as soon as I received my set. The colors are bright and vibrant. I made thick swatches to see how deep the vibrancy goes. I used a nylon water brush with water and a wet towelette to wipe the color. The colors cleaned up easily and left nothing on my fingers. Some colors really pop on the the paper. I used 140 lb cold press watercolor paper which has a distinct tooth I see as I lay down color. Trying to pick my favorite colors was difficult since I like just about all of them. I was impressed by the three metallic crayons. They really do look metallic. Bronze is particularly pretty. I believe that the colors we receive depends on when and where these are ordered. There are some sets that have a different color set, but the ones coming from Blick contain the following colors listed after my review. Blick also has loose stock for reordering. If they weren't so bulky to transport, these might easily have taken the place of my pencils. The tin is nice and sturdy, but heavy. I like the metal tray that holds the first plastic tray. The flimsy plastic tray is no good by itself. Overall, I am impressed by the quality and creaminess of the crayons. I do wish I could get all 126 colors. 001 White 002 Silver Gray 003 Light Gray 005 Gray 007 Dark Gray 008 Grayish Black 009 Black 010 Yellow 011 Pale Yellow 020 Golden Yellow 028 Toledo Brown 030 Orange 031 Orangish Yellow 033 Golden Ochre 035 Ochre 036 Raw Sienna 039 Olive Brown 041 Apricot 042 Flesh 045 Vandycke Brown 049 Raw Umber 050 Flame Red 051 Salmon 052 Saffron 055 Cinnamon 059 Brown 060 Vermilion 063 English Red 065 Russet 069 Burnt Sienna 070 Scarlet 071 Salmon Pink 080 Carmine 081 Pink 090 Purple 099 Aubergine 100 Purple Violet 110 Lilac 111 Mauve 120 Violet 130 Royal Blue 131 Periwinkle Blue 139 Indigo Blue 140 Ultramarine 141 Sky Blue 149 Night Blue 150 Sapphire Blue 159 Prussian Blue 160 Cobalt Blue 161 Light Blue 171 Turquoise Blue 180 Malachite Green 190 Greenish Blue 191 Turquoise Green 201 Veronese Green 210 Emerald Green 211 Jade Green 212 Chromium Oxide Green 220 Grass Green 225 Moss Green 229 Dark Green 230 Yellow Green 231 Lime Green 240 Lemon Yellow 245 Light Olive 249 Olive 250 Canary Yellow 260 Blue 280 Ruby Red 300 Fast Orange 403 Beige 407 Sepia 409 Charcoal Gray 497 Bronze 498 Metallic Silver 499 Gold 508 Payne’s Grey 521 Sahara Yellow 560 Light Cadmium Red 589 Crimson Alizarin 661 Light Cobalt Blue 710 Phthalocyanine Green 720 Bright Green 730 Chinese Green

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can they be heat set? I want them for art quilts but want to make sure. Thanks**
A: Yes. After you color with them and then use water on your paintbrush to paint onto fabric, you heat set with an iron after the paint dries. I have a tutorial about using these on fabric and creating a quilt on Craftsy. Go here: http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/home-decor/painting-on-fabric-with-crayon-pastels/113202

**Q: Does anyone have a list of the colors in the set of 30?**
A: Actually, I went back to your ad, and you can zoom to the box of colors, and see exactly what I see looking at the box in front of me.

**Q: Do they blend well? Some of the pencils/crayons work well but don't blend well.**
A: Yes, these do blend well.  They are highly pigmented, creamy watercolor crayons that can be used to intensify standard artist watercolors, used alone, or used wet or dry.  I previously bought a more inexpensive brand of watercolor crayons and gave them away after I was introduced to the Neocolor !!.  In my opinion, they are the best of their kind and are well worth the money.

**Q: What colors come in this set**
A: Since I am on vacation, I can't give you an exact list. I do know that it has black, white and even a medium grey. The rest are vibrant hues of green, red, blue and yellow. I hope this helps...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love them!
*by D***L on April 8, 2025*

I had been wanting to try the neocolor II water soluble wax pastels for years now and decided to finally try them. I saved up and got the largest set because I knew if I got the smaller one I’d regret not getting the largest. And I’m so glad I did. These are so fun to work with. Incredibly pigmented and very easy to melt down with water. I really like using them for larger areas but they work just as well for small details as well. As with all caran d’Ache products, these are incredibly high quality and a joy to work with. If you’re great at color mixing, you probably don’t need the full set. But if you like having convenience colors and have the extra money to spend, I’d get the larger sets. I also have the caran d’Ache mixing palette which has a textured side that you can rub the pastels down onto and then add water and use like traditional watercolors. I really enjoy using them that way as well as putting them down on paper and adding water. Highly recommend if you aren’t a traditional crayon or pastel user but you want to add them into your art supply rotation.
