Caran d’Ache Pablo Coloured Pencils – Set of 12

Caran d’Ache Pablo Coloured Pencils Set of 12 are professional-quality, permanent colour pencils designed for precision, control and rich colour application.

Each pencil features a 3.8mm soft yet durable lead with a high pigment concentration, delivering strong colour intensity, excellent coverage and reliable lightfastness. The dry, water-resistant core allows for clean, accurate lines without dust, making Pablo particularly well suited to detailed work, layering and controlled shading.

The smooth laydown enables effortless blending and hatching, while maintaining enough firmness for sharp detail — a balance that makes Pablo a favourite with illustrators, designers and fine artists.

The hexagonal barrel provides a comfortable grip and prevents rolling, while the FSC-certified cedar wood casing ensures clean sharpening and long-lasting performance.

Made in Switzerland to exceptionally high standards, Pablo pencils offer dependable, permanent colour for use on paper, card, wood and a wide range of surfaces.

This set of 12 colours offers a compact and well-balanced selection, making it an ideal introduction to the Pablo range. It provides a versatile core palette suitable for sketching, colour studies and detailed work, whether you're starting out or adding a portable set to your kit.
