My mom said these are great for coloring. She does not understand how anyone could be dissatisfied with these or what kind of deliberate force would be necessary to break the lead inside the barrel as a previous reviewer commented. One comment said they twisted the lead too far out and then it broke, leaving the assumption the lead couldn't be retracted. In fact, they can be, just twist them back if they're twisted too far out. My mom is in the nursing home and coloring is great therapy for her.
She finds these great to work with. I wish they were available with more colors, but they are very bendable. They are sort of a mix between a colored pencil and a crayon in that they have a very slight crayon-type finish. this helps when the coloring book papers are thin the colors will not bleed thru. I like this because it let's you lay down a fine line of color that is not obliterated by a second color. After a little experimentation you will see the benefit. Regular pencils can't achieve this effect.
These colors are also bendable if you use light strokes. Again, you can work with them to find out how to achieve numerous effects. It is also possible to create bold, vibrant colors, and there are sufficient colors to achieve beautiful shading. My mom has recently rediscovered the joy of coloring and find these pencils perfect for that purpose.
Others have listed the colors that come in the set. In case there is still doubt, there is a vibrant red. The only color without sufficient range, in my opinion, is blue. There are only 2 shades of blue, but neither are a true blue. Both tend toward the slightest blue-green shade. They are pretty colors, but there is also no light blue. There is a pretty shade of aqua.
The size of lead is durable but also small enough to make a fine line. They never need to be sharpened. I have used other brands of colored pencils as well as pastels, but this is definitely my favorite for coloring. I have several Creative Haven coloring books as well as some mandalas. These pencils are perfect for all of them.
