Preserve your colored pencil artwork for a century with fade-proof cores

Colored pencil work can last decades, or fade within months. The difference comes down to pigment stability, and Derwent engineered Lightfast pencils specifically to solve the archival problem that plagues most colored pencil drawings. These pencils use pigments tested to resist color shift for a century under museum lighting conditions, giving your finished work genuine permanence rather than hopeful optimism.

The oil-based core delivers intense color that builds smoothly through multiple layers. Dense pigment loads mean fewer passes to achieve saturated color, while the slightly harder formulation holds detail without crumbling during sharpening. You can layer, burnish, and blend with confidence that techniques demanding heavy application won't compromise longevity.

Every pencil carries an individual lightfast rating, so you know exactly which colors handle direct light and which need protection. Portrait artists working on commission and botanical illustrators creating scientific documentation particularly value this transparency. Available in curated sets ranging from essential palettes to the complete 100-color range, letting you invest according to how you actually work rather than forcing a one-size approach to archival colored pencil technique.
