Blackwing Colors is a 12-pencil colored pencil set built on the same semi-hexagonal incense-cedar barrel and iconic ferrule as Blackwing's graphite pencils. The cores are a soft Japanese wax formula made for coloring, and each pencil carries a sand eraser with a semi-abrasive texture meant to lift colored pencil. The set spans pink, red, yellow, orange, light green, green, light blue, blue, violet, brown, black and silver. It suits adults and hobbyists who want smooth laydown and a distinctive pencil, though the soft wax core wears faster than harder artist-grade cores and the palette is small next to larger sets.
