Thirty-six soft core colours — the practical starting set. It covers the spectrum without duplicating shades you cannot tell apart, and it is small enough that you learn to mix rather than reach for a ready-made colour, which is the faster way to improve. Thirty-six is also the set most art teachers recommend first, because it forces you to mix and layer instead of hunting for a ready-made colour that matches exactly.

Care & Use
Layer lightly and build up; a soft core pressed hard fills the paper tooth in one pass and nothing further will take. Keep the pack flat. If a core keeps breaking during sharpening, the pencil has been dropped and the core is fractured along its length.
