Caran d’Ache Luminance 6901 Assorted Set of 20 is a versatile professional coloured pencil set, offering a carefully balanced selection of colours for a wide range of subjects. Ideal as an introduction to the Luminance range or as a compact, portable set, it provides artists with the flexibility to work across landscapes, still life, portraiture and more.
With a mix of vibrant hues, natural tones and deeper shades, this set allows you to build colour, create contrast and develop subtle tonal transitions without needing a full palette. It’s particularly well suited to artists who want a high-quality core selection of colours for everyday use.
Each pencil features a soft 3.8mm lead made with finely milled pigments, delivering smooth, even application with strong colour payoff. The pencils layer cleanly and blend effortlessly, allowing for precise control and refined detail.
Luminance 6901 pencils are renowned for their exceptional lightfastness, with the majority of colours rated ASTM D-6901 Lightfastness I. This ensures your artwork maintains its vibrancy over time, making them suitable for professional work, commissions and exhibition pieces.
