Caran d'Ache Pablo Coloured Pencils 120 Set

The Caran d'Ache Pablo 120-set is the complete collection — every color in the Pablo permanent range in a single professional setup. One hundred and twenty colors spanning the full spectrum from delicate intermediate pastels and precise skin tones through to deep shadow anchors and luminous blending values. At this scale the palette covers virtually every transition needed for hyper-detailed botanical drawing, realistic portrait work, and complex architectural or technical illustration. If you prefer to build your own selection, the Caran d'Ache Pablo pencils are also available individually.

The 3.7mm medium-hard water-resistant core maintains a razor-sharp point under sustained pressure and delivers clean, dust-free marks with zero wax bloom. Each hexagonal cedar wood barrel is lacquered to match the core pigment exactly. Colors are formulated for archival UV stability, retaining their original values for decades. Presented in a three-tiered metal storage box, with 40 pencils per level, each resting in a fitted metal tray.

The definitive Pablo investment for professional fine artists, technical illustrators, and design studios.

FAQ

• Is this the complete Pablo color range? Yes. The 120-set includes every color in the Caran d'Ache Pablo range, all available individually as single pencils as well.
• What subjects is the 120-set best suited for? Botanical illustration, realistic portrait work, architectural drawing, and technical illustration all benefit from the full spectrum. The breadth of intermediate pastels, skin tones, and shadow values makes it particularly strong for hyper-detailed and photo-realistic work.
• How does the medium-hard core handle very fine detail? The 3.7mm core sharpens to a consistently fine, durable point that holds under heavy pressure — making it well suited for tight cross-hatching, micro-detail rendering, and precise line work on both smooth and textured papers.
• How does the storage box protect the pencils? Each pencil rests in a fitted metal tray inside the three-tiered box, keeping every tip secure and preventing movement during studio use and transport.
