By combining a high concentration of extra-fine pigments, excellent water-solubility, and Swiss-made expertise, Caran d’Ache developed Museum Aquarelle: watercolours in the form of a pencil. Museum Aquarelle is not only a water-soluble pencil; it is a watercolour in a pencil. 26 colours are mono-pigmented, that is, they have been made from a single type of pigment. This ensures, in particular, purity in blending. Museum has exceptional lightfastness, whether it has been used wet or dry. Each colour has been rated according to the Blue Wool Scale.
