Question 1

What colors are missing in the 132 verses 150 prismacolor sets?

Accepted Answer

PC1066. FRENCH GREY 20%  PC120 SAP GREEN LIGHT  For anyone missing one or a few colors from their set Blick Art Materials is the best online source for open-source colored pencils.  If you don't have a big order though, you might want to look for a local art supply store.  Blick even has several of those but they seem to be mainly in large cities.

Question 2

Out of the whole set how many of the colors do you use? I am just trying to find out if it is worth getting 150 pencils.

Accepted Answer

I got the 150 on sale because the box was damaged, so it was actually cheaper than some smaller sets.  The 150 is the only box that has all the greys, which are very useful if you want to try to learn to do colored pencil art.  It also ensures that if you follow tutorials, either from books or online, you have every color they ask for (tutorials still most often use prismacolors).  If you can afford to buy this large set, you are generally getting the pencils cheaper than when you buy singles, also.  Of course you do not actually 'need' more than the 12 color set to do great art (with blending, check out youtube videos of people doing this), but the choice is great to have.

Question 3

I color Mandalas and do not want a powdery residue that I have to blow off so as not to smear.  Will I have this problem with this set?

Accepted Answer

I use a soft cheap makeup brush as a duster on any of my sets that leave a little dust or crumbles. I have about 45 sets, so the brush is just a part of my coloring tools. That way I don't have color stuck to my hand from brushing it off.  I don't like to blow it off either since your breath is moist and can slightly dampen your paper.

Question 4

Reading the reviews I saw bad reviews about getting some of the pencils twice. That is one of my concerns.

Accepted Answer

I received 2 Marine Green PC 988 pencils and the Peacock Green PC 907 pencil is missing from my 132-pencil set. I don't want to have to return the whole set to get it replaced. I'd like to have the seller just send me a PC 907. If I try to request a replacement, it only allows me to return until the end of January. I can't find a way to contact Amazon to ask them to send me the 1 missing pencil which I'd really like to have. It just says it was sent to me by Amazon Fulfillment Services in order details. It keeps sending me in circles. I ordered Dec. 2 and received it Dec. 5, 2019. Can someone please assist? Thank you.
