Caran d'Ache Pastel Cube - Mid Moss Green 10% 232
$5.45
Pastel Cubes are really intended for drawing. They can be used flat over their whole length for covering large areas rapidly. Cross-hatching gives texture and depth. They define shape and provide subtle tonal values. Pastels cannot be mixed on a palette like watercolours or oils but rubbing and overlaying them gives transparency similar to scumbling.
Dimensions: 6 x 83 mm, softer texture that preserves its shading qualities.

The Blue Wool Scale
Caran d'Ache provides clear information on the lightfastness of all these 84 colours, ranging from ★ to ★★★★★. Some colours will remain unaltered for up to 100 years. The lightfastness rating is based on the Blue Wool Scale, which measures the resistance of the colours when exposed to light.
- Colours with a ★★★★★ or ★★★★ rating can be used by professional artists. They will remain unaltered for decades.
- Colours with a ★★★ rating are satisfactory but they will last longer if used in concentrated form, or if the work is protected by anti-UV glass or exhibited under subdued lighting.
- Colours with a ★ and ★★ rating are not suitable for works that are permanently on show.
