Koh-I-Noor Tri-Tone pencils are artist-grade colored pencils whose core holds three braided leads, so one stroke lays down three harmonized colors at once. The 12-pencil tin covers a basic range of color combinations and includes a blender pencil for smoothing and mixing. California cedar barrels are glued and center the core for even sharpening and less breakage. They suit colored-pencil artists who want layered, dimensional line work and shading, and they work alongside standard single-color pencils.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 56 ratings, buyers respond well to the multi-color effect and smooth laydown. The basic 12-pencil range is the main limitation noted.
Tri-Tone pencils from Koh-I-Noor have a core made of three braided leads in different colors. Each pencil makes multi-colored lines with depth, and the colors alternate with minimal wrist movement. The colors in each pencil are typically found in nature and chosen to harmonize. The leads blend as they lay down, and a blender pencil can smooth the colors further. The effect shows in cross-hatching, line work and shading over large areas.
The cores combine premium pigments, a proprietary blend of oils and binders. The lead is smooth and lays down without waxy bloom or wax build-up that blocks layering. The casing is California cedar, a renewable wood that doesn't warp. Each core is centered in its casing for even sharpening and glued throughout to resist breakage.
The pencils come pre-sharpened and fit standard pencil sharpeners. The hexagonal barrel gives a stable grip during long sessions. They can be used with single-color pencils or with Koh-I-Noor Magic FX colored pencils.
