The soft, dry lead of Caran d’Ache’s Pablo Pencil Range is based on a formula ensuring exceptionally high covering power and creating no powder whatsoever,  as well as perfect opacity. Offering a wide range of 120 colours, artists, technical designers and professional teachers can rely on the exemplary lightfastness of the leads.

The covering power of Pablo colour pencils enables easy usage on a large number of backgrounds, ranging from variously textured paper and cardboard to wooden panels. Shaded, mixed and layered colours express themselves through the thick, velvety matter of permanent pencils.

The bodies of the pencils are completely varnished and sealed with a shiny colour that corresponds to the colour of the lead – 6 aqueous layers of varnish matching the colour of the lead.
