Give creativity a premium home with the Caran d’Ache Neocolor II Water-Soluble Wax Pastels – Set of 84 in Wooden Box (Ref. 7500.484). Beloved by students, teachers and professional artists, Neocolor II moves from bold, opaque dry marks to luminous watercolour washes with a touch of water. Each crayon delivers a soft, velvety, dust-free laydown, excellent lightfastness and superior covering power—so light colours cover dark and vice-versa for confident layering, glazing and sgraffito.

Housed in a superior birch & beech wooden case (dark mahogany colour) with gold silkscreen and golden fastenings, this gift-ready set organises the complete 84-colour palette across two trays (42 pastels each).
