Are there labels that name each pencil's color? I'd like to buy this for a person who is partially colorblind.

Yes, the pencils are labeled with the name of each color. There is also a reference number in case you want more. The set can be restocked with individual colors, one pencil at a time. Not sure if amazon has these, but hobby stores do.

Yes, each of the 48 pencils are labeled by their color and their product # such as PC####. These all sell separately to for $5.99 to $7.99 each!

Yes. There are a lot of blues and a few different shades of browns too. There are different types of greens too. This is the reason why I bought this set of pencils, because of all the different types of colors.

My pack had more than 20 different shades...yes, seriously. Don't buy this if you need a bunch of any one/standard color. I've purchased two sets, and I'm not sure I have even 1 dozen red crayons...

I regret to inform you that, at the moment, we cannot give the option for specific colors on this unit. We received these assorted, and there are too many variations in color (sand color, water color, glass color, plastic frame color, metallic specs in sand, etc.) without consistency to be able to give the option of selecting a color. We're sorry about that!

yes. There are lots of variations on blue, green, and brown hues. They are the same quality as prism color, in my opinion as well.

With all pencils you have to be careful with the type of pencil sharpener you get. I have two types of pencil sharpeners. I use one for regular pencils and the other works well with color pencils. It just took me two tries to find the right sharpener for color pencils. One of those sharpeners just broke the lead all the time, meanwhile the other was more gentle with the lead, and wood.

These are high end artists pencils. I've been using the Prismacolor brand for over 30 years. More color choices is always better, but you can still achieve any desired color you need through layering of different color pencil combinations with a smaller set.

I don't use colored pencils myself - I work in watercolors. These are for my kids as they have gotten older and enjoy colored pencils (they are all pretty artistic). I start them off young with Crayola and then go to Prismacolor. I have bought the Premier for them but they have been gifts at Christmas and I let them know these are not like Crayola and they have to take care of them. I found two links for you. Hope this helps! One is from a Blog: Just a Place for Cool Stuff http://pumibel.blogspot.com/2011/11/prismacolor-scholar-line-colored.html This is the other one. I found this on a Yahoo Canada Answers link: "The Premier is the artist quality and the Scholar is the student brand. The artist quality Premier is higher quality - they have more pigment and the pencils mix better as well. Source(s): Professional artist for a long time. Colored pencil artist for 23 years and counting..."

Yes. I used a blue paint pen that coordinated with my color theme. A Sharpie would also work.

These are very vibrant colors and I love them, they are not really what I would call skin tones however, unfortunately I can't attach a photo to this post and the pencils don't have color names but there is a white, a buttery color a cream color, an ochre. a tan, a chocolate brown and a dark brown the rest are rainbow hues, I would google images of what's inside the tin to give you a better idea!

Yes. They come with all four so you, or your child, can see which one works best for them. Two of our children have dyslexia & these have helped a lot! I bought two packs in case they both ended up choosing the same color. Our daughter, naturally, chose pink at first, but now says the green one makes it easier to read. Our son mostly uses yellow (but will sometimes use green also). They say it keeps the letters from "wiggling", plus it keeps their eyes focused on one line at a time.

There are two refill leads per vial. The colors are the same as the ones that are already loaded in the pencil. They are: Green, yellow, orange, red, blue, brown, Diazo non-copy, PPC non-copy

It was one of my major concerns too - Hence why I made sure to get a list of ALL the colors for an inventory upon their arrival. It seems even 'had' I received duplicates/missing pencils, they are pretty cool about getting those pencils out to you should you mention it.It seems more of a manufacture problem.

Most sharpeners say warranty is void if you use color pencil. I don't know specifically about this one.

Hi, John .. Yes these are a bit difficult to get solid color.. the lead is medium hard. I know that doesn't really help much, I enjoy using them . but I am only using them for fun .. nothing serious. I have used a lot of colored pencils and these are the second best I have tried. The other brand I LOVE is Staedtler .. but I have only found them in 24 colors. I found them in a Michaels on clearance .........never had seen Staedtler pencils before.. always markers.. they are just a tiny bit softer and the colors are so true . Hopes this helps.. !!!
