Following the launch of 24 new Luminance 6901® colors, Caran d'Ache offers all 100 colors in a complete assortment, including 8 unique to the Caran d'Ache color chart.

Luminance 6901® is the color pencil that combines the best lightfastness with the smoothness of a permanent wax lead.

Conforming to the international standard ASTM D-6901 (which certifies the lightfastness of colors on a scale of LFI to LFV), Luminance 6901® guarantees the most demanding creative professionals the durability of their works for up to 100 years.

Caran d'Ache is the only brand to offer a 100-color assortment with 80 colors in the best category of the standard (LFI: Lightfastness I), i.e. the best possible resistance to light.

In order to unify, blend and intensify the colors, a Crayon Blender and a Full Blender complete this selection.
