Prang - 24-Color Poster Pastello Assortment

24-Color Poster Pastello Assortment

Blend 24 vibrant chalk colors for posters with pro-level smoothness

Pressed chalk pastels offer the control of hard pastels with richer color saturation than typical classroom chalk. Prang formulates these Poster Pastellos with concentrated pigments and firm binders that resist crumbling during application while delivering bold, opaque coverage on paper, cardboard, and poster board. The consistent density lets you build smooth gradients through layering or create sharp lines and details that softer pastels can't maintain.

Twenty-four colors span a practical range from foundational primaries through nuanced intermediates like buff, dull peach, and blue violet. This selection supports color mixing exercises and finished poster work without redundant shades. Each stick blends smoothly when worked with fingers, stumps, or tortillons, while the firm texture provides enough resistance for controlled blending rather than muddy over-mixing. Colors layer cleanly over one another for optical mixing effects.

The pressed chalk format works particularly well for large-scale projects where coverage matters more than archival permanence. Art educators use these for poster design, mural studies, and sketching exercises where students need reliable color payoff without the mess of softer pastels. Individual sticks maintain their shape through repeated use, and the square profile prevents rolling off work surfaces.
