Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Water-Soluble Crayons 84 Set

The Caran d'Ache Neocolor II 84-set is the complete collection — every color in the Neocolor II Aquarelle range in a single professional setup. Eighty-four distinct shades spanning the full spectrum from soft flesh tints and warm earth tones through to deep volcanic darks and brilliant luminous accents. At this scale, color mixing becomes a choice rather than a necessity — the palette covers virtually every value and transition needed for watercolor painting, wash drawing, monochromatic shading, stencil work, encaustic effects, and large-format background coverage.

The extra-pure pigment concentration disperses completely in water without gritty deposits or separation streaks. Lightfastness meets professional archival standards across all 84 colors. Housed in a deluxe metal storage box with protective layered inserts that cradle each crayon individually against breakage during studio use or transport.

The definitive Neocolor II investment for master illustrators, fine artists, and gallery professionals.
