Faber-Castell Polychromos Coloured Pencils – Open Stock Singles

Discover the world's most celebrated artist-quality coloured pencil.

For decades, Faber-Castell Polychromos have been the first choice of professional artists, illustrators, designers and colour pencil enthusiasts worldwide. Renowned for their exceptional lightfastness, rich pigmentation and effortless layering, Polychromos pencils have earned a reputation as one of the finest coloured pencil ranges ever produced.

Each pencil features a premium oil-based core that delivers smooth, vibrant colour with outstanding control. The unique formulation allows colours to be layered repeatedly without wax bloom, making Polychromos ideal for detailed work, realistic portraits, wildlife art, landscapes, botanical illustration and mixed media projects.

The highly break-resistant 3.8mm core is bonded throughout the pencil using Faber-Castell's special SV bonding process, ensuring maximum strength and durability during sharpening and use. Whether creating delicate colour transitions or building intense saturation through multiple layers, Polychromos pencils provide the precision and reliability artists depend upon.

Available individually in the complete range of 120 colours, open stock singles allow you to replace your most-used colours without purchasing an entire set.
