Prismacolor Colored Pencils

Prismacolor is a brand of professional artists’ supplies originated by Berol in 1938, and now manufactured by Newell Brands. One of Prismacolor’s main products are their colored pencils. They can be bought in sets from 12 to 150 pencils, and are typically cheaper when purchased in bulk. Prices vary but they are usually around $1.50 to $2.00 per pencil. They have a color-matching 8mm hexagonal barrel and are typically packaged in a plastic

or tin case. The wax core is 5mm in diameter. Prismacolor colored pencils are made with a soft wax that tends to break easily. Softer lead tends to break easier when a pencil is sharpened. With Prismacolored colored pencils a common trend is to microwave them. Microwaving a colored pencil helps to heat up the cold and brittle lead within it.
