Derwent Lightfast is an oil-based colored pencil line built around a 100% lightfast core, tested to ASTM D6901 and Blue Wool Scale ISO 105 and rated to hold color for 100 years under museum conditions. The core lays down fast and opaque with a buttery, velvety feel, blends on the page toward a paint-like finish, and holds a strong point for detail and layering. The 24-color tin covers a broad spread from Sun Yellow and Scarlet to Mallard Green, Venetian Red and Van Dyke Brown. It suits artists selling or archiving work who need dependable permanence, and it competes with other lightfast artist ranges on color choice and blendability rather than on price.

Derwent Lightfast Pencils are oil-based colored pencils with a core made to resist prolonged color change. Under museum conditions, artwork will not fade for 100 years. The pencils were tested to internationally recognized standards, including ASTM D6901 and Blue Wool Scale ISO 105.
The oil-based core has a buttery, velvety texture. Colors lay down quickly and opaquely, and they mix and blend easily. Colors can also be mixed on the page for a paint-like effect.
The pencils have a strong point, which suits detailed drawing and layering techniques. This set of 24 comes in a tin.
