From the Manufacturer Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Water Soluble Pastels (15 Colors) Review: Worth the money. - I was a little hesitant to purchase these because of their price point, but I'm really glad I did. I'm still somewhat new to pastels, but the other ones I've tried are waxy and sticky, and these just literally go on like butter. I didn't think I would use the watercolor feature, but I found that they are really, really great. The pigment is perfect and the colors are bold and bright. What I have been doing is using them like standard oil pastels and then adding water to part of it so it's solid in some parts and a little rough in others. I really love this effect. Review: Product is great but delivery packaging needs to be improved - Five stars for the product! They are so much fun to use. They are very creamy and versatile and I look forward to having more of a play. I felt that this colour selection of 40 was rather lacking in the brown department, but I was able to go to my local art store and top up with some individual colours. The tin is nice and sturdy, and doesn’t take up too much room, so more portable than some of the other sizes. However desertcart gets 1 star for delivery. The package arrived in a brown paper bag, no padding at all. The crayons had all been thrown around within the box, forcing the tin to be distorted, and I was concerned about damage. The inside of the tin was a mess, but I was able to clean it up with a little elbow grease. The crayons all look ok, but I have concerns that there is hidden damage beneath the labels. I gave them a little wiggle and I don’t see any obvious problems so fingers crossed they are all fine. But if desertcart ever reads these reviews you need to do better. When someone spends this kind of money on a product a little padding would be a start! ## Features - Add luminous color and watercolor effects to your artwork with this assortment of 15 Neocolor II Water-soluble Artists' Pastels from Caran d'Ache - For over 80 years, Caran d'Ache has inspired amateur and professional artists, providing top quality pastels, pencils, paints, brushes and more - Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Pastels conform to EN71 (CE) and ASTM D4236 safety standards for art materials - Use Neocolor II artist crayons on various materials including paper, cardboard, glass, even illuminated signs and panels - Neocolor II Pastels have exceptional covering power and can be used dry or wet, on a wide variety of materials ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0009I8LEU | | Additional Features | Light fastness | | Age Range (Description) | Child and adult | | Age Range Description | Child and adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,721 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #14 in Drawing Pastels | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Caran d'Ache | | Brand Name | Caran d'Ache | | Closure Type | Snap | | Color | Multi-colour | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 6,058 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00034735832643, 07610186243158 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | Writing | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Multicolor | | Item Diameter | 15 millimeters | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 4 x 0.5 inches | | Item Type Name | Neocolor II Chalk Metal Case with 15 Colours | | Item Weight | 6.4 pounds | | Line Size | 4 inches | | Manufacturer | Caran d?Ache | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | NeoColor II | | Model Number | 7500.32 | | Pattern | Single | | Recommended Uses For Product | Artistic expression, Drawing, Painting | | Style | 15 Colors | | Theme | Art Supplies" or "Drawing Tools | | UPC | 370114544210 | | Unit Count | 15 Count | | Warranty Description | 90 Days | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Pastel Stick | | Writing Technique | crayon | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Child and adult - **Brand:** Caran d'Ache - **Color:** Multi-colour - **Ink Color:** Multicolor - **Writing Instrument Form:** Pastel Stick ## Images ![Classic Neocolor II Aquarelle, 15 Colors - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71P-JzokQ2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can they be heat set? I want them for art quilts but want to make sure. Thanks** A: Yes. After you color with them and then use water on your paintbrush to paint onto fabric, you heat set with an iron after the paint dries. I have a tutorial about using these on fabric and creating a quilt on Craftsy. Go here: http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/home-decor/painting-on-fabric-with-crayon-pastels/113202 **Q: Does anyone have a list of the colors in the set of 30?** A: Actually, I went back to your ad, and you can zoom to the box of colors, and see exactly what I see looking at the box in front of me. **Q: Do they blend well? Some of the pencils/crayons work well but don't blend well.** A: Yes, these do blend well. They are highly pigmented, creamy watercolor crayons that can be used to intensify standard artist watercolors, used alone, or used wet or dry. I previously bought a more inexpensive brand of watercolor crayons and gave them away after I was introduced to the Neocolor !!. In my opinion, they are the best of their kind and are well worth the money. **Q: What colors come in this set** A: Since I am on vacation, I can't give you an exact list. I do know that it has black, white and even a medium grey. The rest are vibrant hues of green, red, blue and yellow. I hope this helps... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the money. *by Y***D on August 9, 2026* I was a little hesitant to purchase these because of their price point, but I'm really glad I did.

I swatched them as soon as I received my set. The colors are bright and vibrant. I made thick swatches to see how deep the vibrancy goes. I used a nylon water brush with water and a wet towelette to wipe the color. The colors cleaned up easily and left nothing on my fingers. Some colors really pop on the the paper. I used 140 lb cold press watercolor paper which has a distinct tooth I see as I lay down color. Trying to pick my favorite colors was difficult since I like just about all of them. I was impressed by the three metallic crayons. They really do look metallic. Bronze is particularly pretty. I believe that the colors we receive depends on when and where these are ordered. There are some sets that have a different color set, but the ones coming from Blick contain the following colors listed after my review. Blick also has loose stock for reordering. If they weren't so bulky to transport, these might easily have taken the place of my pencils. The tin is nice and sturdy, but heavy. I like the metal tray that holds the first plastic tray. The flimsy plastic tray is no good by itself. Overall, I am impressed by the quality and creaminess of the crayons. I do wish I could get all 126 colors. 001 White 002 Silver Gray 003 Light Gray 005 Gray 007 Dark Gray 008 Grayish Black 009 Black 010 Yellow 011 Pale Yellow 020 Golden Yellow 028 Toledo Brown 030 Orange 031 Orangish Yellow 033 Golden Ochre 035 Ochre 036 Raw Sienna 039 Olive Brown 041 Apricot 042 Flesh 045 Vandycke Brown 049 Raw Umber 050 Flame Red 051 Salmon 052 Saffron 055 Cinnamon 059 Brown 060 Vermilion 063 English Red 065 Russet 069 Burnt Sienna 070 Scarlet 071 Salmon Pink 080 Carmine 081 Pink 090 Purple 099 Aubergine 100 Purple Violet 110 Lilac 111 Mauve 120 Violet 130 Royal Blue 131 Periwinkle Blue 139 Indigo Blue 140 Ultramarine 141 Sky Blue 149 Night Blue 150 Sapphire Blue 159 Prussian Blue 160 Cobalt Blue 161 Light Blue 171 Turquoise Blue 180 Malachite Green 190 Greenish Blue 191 Turquoise Green 201 Veronese Green 210 Emerald Green 211 Jade Green 212 Chromium Oxide Green 220 Grass Green 225 Moss Green 229 Dark Green 230 Yellow Green 231 Lime Green 240 Lemon Yellow 245 Light Olive 249 Olive 250 Canary Yellow 260 Blue 280 Ruby Red 300 Fast Orange 403 Beige 407 Sepia 409 Charcoal Gray 497 Bronze 498 Metallic Silver 499 Gold 508 Payne’s Grey 521 Sahara Yellow 560 Light Cadmium Red 589 Crimson Alizarin 661 Light Cobalt Blue 710 Phthalocyanine Green 720 Bright Green 730 Chinese Green ## Frequently Bought Together - Caran d'Ache Classic Neocolor II Water-Soluble Pastels, 15 Colors - Turner Acrylic Paint Set Artist Acryl Gouache - Super Concentrated Vibrant Acrylics, Fast Drying, Velvety Matte Finish - [Set of 12 | 20 ml Tubes] - Strathmore 300 Series Palette Paper Pad, Tape Bound, 9x12 inches, 40 Sheets (41lb/67g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1678829-classic-neocolor-ii-aquarelle-15-colors](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1678829-classic-neocolor-ii-aquarelle-15-colors) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
