As noted above, the selection of colour is subjective and the reviewer has chosen colour by looking at the actual colour swatches. Nevertheless, you may find that particular colours belong in different groups or families.

Lightfastness

The range of Neocolor II art crayons are part of the hobby products available from Caran d’Ache. For this reason, there is no lightfast ratings available on the actual art crayons, on the packaging, or available on the manufacturers colour chart. Therefore, we are unable to ascertain the lightfastness of these art crayons.

Make your own colour chart

For your knowledge, it’s advisable to draw up your own colour chart so you can get to know the actual colours of your art crayons. You will then be able to see how your art crayon performs on the papers or fabric that you use for your drawings.

However, this takes time. So, to save you time, you can join our email list and get immediate access to a library of slim interactive colour charts (including Neocolor II) that we have made for you.

You can also sit back and watch this artist swatch out the 84 Neocolor II set.

You should now have a better understanding of the colours available in the set of 84 Caran d’Ache Neocolor II water soluble art crayons.
