Derwent Lightfast pencils are formulated to be 100% lightfast, meaning that the core is resistant to colour change and will not change for up to 100 years under museum conditions. The revolutionary oil-based core creates a buttery, velvety texture, allowing the complete integration of colours.  Dark colours will sit will over lighter shades for effective outlining and defining negative spaces. Their opacity makes them ideal for use on coloured papers. Your artwork will stand the test of time without fading for up to 100 years when you use Derwent Lightfast Pencils. Achieve the rich colours you desire in an oil-based pencil that has a creamy texture.

Lightfastness refers to the chemical stability of a pigment under long exposure to light. Made from the finest raw materials and the purest pigments, all colours comply

with internationally recognised lightfast testing standards ASTM D6901. A scale of 1 – 5 is obtained, with values 1 and 2 considered to be highly lightfast.

Colours will not fade at these values for up to 100 years under museum conditions.
