Customers also mention that the color volumes don't repeat, so you can start with one set and add more colors as needed.

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the pencil. Some mention that it's fun to use, easy to look at and hold, and easy to read. However, others say that the pencils are too hard and crumble when you sharpen them. The cores are hard, and the lead is very hard, so you have to layer a lot. Overall, the product is hard to work with and does not create results reflecting the brand.

Low end pencils in high end clothing. Performance does not justify price. Stick with the Polys and Prismas.  More bang per buck.

Low end pencils in high end clothing. Performance does not justify price. Stick with the Polys and Prismas. More bang per buck.
1. Understanding the various color palettes. I had great difficulty organizing theses pencils in the best way (for my use) possible at first. When I received these pencils I didn't use them right away but did put them into a case, in the order of the 9 sets contained in the three books. i just got a coloring book I decided would be perfect to use these pencils in because of the great numbers of pastels the set contains. I was out of town and did not have the boxes with me. I decided to organize the pencils with a typical arrangement of all yellows, oranges, reds, etc. as I did this I made a color chart. This exercise resulted in me deciding that the pastels (tints -- color plus white) should go first, separately. I had trouble figuring out whether some were pastels or tones (color plus grey) so I went online and wrote out the contents of the sets and palettes. I immediately saw that the three palettes I saw as pastels were entitled "Very Pale TONE," "Pale Tone I," and Pale Tone II." See first three columns of attached color chart. The colors I had been treating as "tones" (color plus grey) were indeed entitled "light grayish TONE I." (Odd, because there is not "II".). These are shown in the fourth column of the attached chart.Well, after a lot of muttering to myself I figured out what most people probably understood in the first place. Each palette (except fluorescence) is merely TITLED as "tones," and the term is not used in the sense of the composition of the colors. This is, of course, very odd, given it is colors that are being described!I decided that leaving the palettes, but not the sets, intact would work best and came up with the color chart below. If you are compulsive about theses things (like me) here is how it breaks down, I THINK:The first three columns are simply pastels (tints). Column one is different only in that the colors contain more white than the following two columns. You could combine the first three columns into a single group for charting (all pastel pinks together, etc.) but keeping them separate gives some, but not complete, continuity reading across the lines (for example the fifth line contains all greens or near greens except for the fluorescents).The fourth column is the ACTUAL tones in the collection (color plus grey). I had trouble characterizing whether the fifth column "dull tones" are in fact tones (color plus grey) or SHADES (color plus black). I so badly wanted them to be tones but after a little experimenting I conclude they are shades, as the columns six and seven also are. Columns eight and nine are easy, being "regular" colors (don't know the word for that) and fluorescents, respectively. I find the chart I ended up with to be logical and am sharing it for that reason.Notably, the set contains no white pencil. To verify that column five is shades (Something about them confuses me) I needed a white pencil and had to borrow one from another set. I don't consider the lack of a white pencil to be a plus or a minus, it is just unusual.I spent a couple of hours coloring in my new book (also Japanese, like the pencils) on and off while also fiddling with color organization. Had I reached my final organization sooner I would have picked different colors. What my photograph of the page does establish is that these pencils photograph very washed out. I like to send photos back and forth with my coloring friends. I have certainly found that various colors of various sets do not photograph accurately, some so much as even changing color, but all the colors I used on the page washed out except the yellow (narcissus). The purple in the stars is lilac. The background is lupine. Other colors are combinations of sea fog (under) and almond blossom (over).2. Coloring performance:A. These pencils do not blend with each other. I am baffled by reviewers extolling the blendability of these pencils. I was unable to blend them AT ALL with each other. I tried Prismacolor and Caran d'Ache blending pencils. I did NOT try any solvents, oils, potions or incantations. Two interesting things: I found that I CAN blend these pencils with the white Prismacolor pencil. Didn't try others, just happened on this when testing column five as described above. My go-to favorite pencils are Polychromos and I suspect these pencils will blend with the Polychromos, no problem. I didn't try this, but wonder if two of these "unblendable" pencils could be made to blend with one another using a Prismacolor or Polychromos pencil as a third color, preferably white. Second, while trying to blend using the Prismacolor blending pencil I went into one of the coloring book's black lines and black from the line smeared A LOT into my colored area. A plastic eraser easily remedied this. Being a first try of both pencils and book I don't know whether printing in book is inferior or whether the pencils break down the line in some way. I do note that I had no problem with the lines dissolving otherwise during coloring and I color into/past the lines a lot. The coloring book, by the way, is Shiawase no Minuet Menuet de bonheur, Japanese Edition. Available on Amazon for about $26.B. The pencil colors DO layer if you can be light handed enough. I found that typically, once I managed to lay down color over an area it was burnished and not possible to add color. Ultimately, for areas I wanted to "mix" colors in, I lightly scribbled in the darker color then scrubbed away on top with the light color adjusting with darker where necessary. The result is a mottled appearing mixture of the two UNBLENDED colors: you can see both if you look closely. From six inches away or more it looks like a new color but actually if you look closely you can see both colors. As I have said, these colors do not mix together, period. If layered with a light hand they do-exist and can be made to APPEAR as a new color.C. I used up a LOT of pencil lead doing what I did in the coloring book page shown. I was very surprised by this in that I thought hard pencils didn't lay down that much lead. The book pages are on the smooth side, so it is not like there is a lot of "tooth" dragging lead out of the pencil. The worst of it was the quilt background where I was using Lupine, a very light pastel blue. Although my intent and desire in using these pencils in this book was to be very light handed and use mostly pastels, I had to be somewhat heavy handed to lay down the lupine (not so heavy as to tear the paper or anything, but so heavy that the result is burnished). All in all my entire colored area is burnished and slightly shiny. Not unacceptable but not the result I was looking for. I did do some testing here and there on scratch paper somewhat toothier than the book (a 22-24 lb linen or cotton -- not woven) and the color did seem to lay down there easily enough, but in my experience this more textured paper DOES suck the lead out of the pencils fast. I do know that of the five pencils I used on this colored area of less than half a fairly smooth page I had to sharpen two (not to reach a point, but to keep the wood off the paper) and the other three are worn down to little nubbins. I have attached a photo showing this. The pencils to the left of the unused green pencil were sharpened somewhat, and the pencils to the right were worn down a lot but don't necessarily need sharpening just yet. Seems to me like a lot of pencil for half a page. You be the judge.D. The colors of the ends of the pencil barrels are true enough to somewhat rely on, in my experience. I always either double check with MY OWN color chart (the chart that comes with the pencils is only as true as the printing process and as I have shown, the colors do not photograph well) or test on scratch paper, but these barrel ends are reasonably useful in preliminarily choosing a color.I conclude that these are actually low end pencils dressed up in high end clothing. They are beautiful to behold, both their enamel and the bright pastels. And the fancy presentation in the pretty books, too. All with a high $85 price (although on eBay now the individual "books" (30 pencils, 1/3 of a full set, can be had for $8 if you are willing to pay another $20 for shipping from Japan). In practice, however, I conclude that the pencils do not perform at the level warranted by their high end price. At almost a dollar a pencil ($0.94 each) these are competing in the mid to big leagues (Prismacolor, about $0.62 each; Polychromos about $1.49 each; Lyra Polycolor about $1.12 each). They do not show up correctly in photographs, they use a lot of lead on fairly smooth paper, they do NOT blend with each other, they can layer if handled gently but the colors never actually combine. Overall they are hard to work with and do not create results reflecting the amount of work put in. I was seduced by the pretty colors and packaging but I have to agree with the reviewer who concluded that Crayola's ($0.15 each) are just as good. I may still use these, or some of these, for the pastel palettes, but these will not be showcased through an entire coloring book as I had hoped. Just too much work, not enough fun. Should be mostly fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such Realistic Colors
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2017
I absolutely love these pencils. They are a joy to color with and I love how great my coloring looks with these colored pencils.

I also love the assortment of pale, deep, vivid and fluorescent colors. But I especially love the pale colors because a lot of my other sets of colored pencils don't have such wonderful pale colors that offset the more vivid colors.

I also like to color a page with just one theme like only using the "Rainforest" series or the "Seascape" series for a particular picture .

I recently purchased a Japanese coloring book called "Menuet de bonheur" (doesn't have English title translation only French).

I have included 3 photos from this coloring book that I colored with these pencils. The 1st photo I colored with only the "Woodlands". The 2nd photo, I am coloring only with the "Rainforest" and the last photo; I am coloring with the "Seascape" .

Of course you can color with all the colors but I thought it would be fun to just color with one theme as my way of exploring these wonderful pencils.

These pencils are a hard pencil but they are not like Prismacolor's Verithins for example because these are very smooth and they sharpen perfect every time.

They do not break and there is no pencil dust. And because they are hard you do not have to sharpen them that often unlike soft core pencils. This also means your pencils will last longer and you won't have to purchase new pencils as frequently as you do with soft core pencils.

I sharpen mine with the Faber-Castell Trio Grip Sharpener because it sharpens these pencils with just a crank or two without sacrificing much pencil.

They are quite hard which makes them perfect for fine details in adult colouring books.What I really loved was the colours.There is a fantastic range of pastels and light shades that are so different to the other sets i own like polychromos and prisma. They sharpen well and are really good quality. The packaging was what initially drew me to these pencils but in the end the pencils are stunning and i would not be without them now.
