The term Polychromos derives from the Greek words poly (many) and chroma (colour). There are 120 colours in the Polychromos product range. Launched on the market in 1908. Polychromos pencils provide the highest break resistance, unmatched light resistance, excellent colour brilliance, wiping and water resistance and an optimal paintability.

Polychromos artists’ pencils are valued internationally by professional artists and semi-professionals for their unsurpassed quality.

We recommend you use these fabulously smooth oil based pencil crayons with cartridge paper or slightly textured pastel paper.

The choice of drawing paper depends on the artists’ drawing style. Paper grain sizes and textures influence the brushstrokes.
