Create luminous artwork that resists fading for generations to come
Lightfastness matters when you're investing hours into layered color work. Caran d'Ache formulated these pencils to meet ASTM D-6901 standards, the highest international rating for resistance to fading, your finished pieces maintain their color integrity for decades rather than shifting within months. Dense pigment concentration delivers rich, saturated color that builds through multiple layers without becoming muddy or waxy.
The 3.8mm leads blend with the kind of control that detailed work demands. Colors transition smoothly into one another, creating seamless gradations from shadow to highlight. That same density makes these pencils ideal for burnishing techniques, where heavy pressure fuses layers into a paint-like finish. White pencils lift highlights effectively over darker colors without that chalky resistance common in lesser pencils.
Eight-ply cedar barrels sharpen to consistent points without splintering, while end-sealing in matching lead color provides instant visual identification when working with multiple colors. Each pencil carries both color name and code, eliminating guesswork when replacing individual colors. Professional illustrators and colored pencil artists choose Luminance when permanence and performance justify the investment in serious work.
