I apologize for any inconvenience. This set of 10 includes: White; Black; Yellow; Orange; Brown; Scarlet; Purple; Violet; Cobalt Blue & Emerald Green. Thank you, Karen S./Blick Art Materials **Q: I typically use aquatone pencils. I leave them in the box and use them like a palette with a wet brush. Could I use these the same way?** A: You sure can! **Q: Can you use these for bible journaling?** A: I beg to differ on this subject from the other answers...I have been journaling in bibles for a couple of years now. Yes, CdA NII have wax in them. Yes they will smear/smudge but only BEFORE water is applied. Once the water dries the color becomes stable. The trick to journaling on thin onionskin like (read bible paper) is to use very very little water. And as far as getting a thin line, well apply the "crayon" directly onto a DAMP bristle end of a small flat brush. HTH **Q: How long, in inches, are the Caran D'ache crayons? Thanks** A: They are about 4 inches long. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***A on 6 November 2023* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***C on 24 September 2023* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by I***I on 3 March 2022* ## Frequently Bought Together - Caran d'Ache Classic Neocolor II Water-Soluble Pastels, 10 Colors - Canson XL Series Watercolor Pad, Heavyweight White Paper, Foldover Binding, 30 Sheets, 9x12 inch - Transon 8pcs Round Watercolor Paint Brush Set Goat Hair for Watercolors,Acrylics,Inks,Gouache,Oil and Tempera --- ## 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.vu/products/294015141-caran-dache-neocolor-ii-aquarelle-pastels-set-of-10-vibrant](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/294015141-caran-dache-neocolor-ii-aquarelle-pastels-set-of-10-vibrant) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
