Collection of Lightfast Ratings for Colored Pencils, Watercolor Pencils, and Pastel Pencils

Last Updated by Brandon F. on March 21, 2023

A common request that we receive is for lightfast information for the many different colored pencils that we have reviewed.  While many pencil manufacturers provide this information, accessing it can be quite difficult.

To make things easier for our readers, we have gone and compiled lightfast information for any colored pencils, watercolor pencils, and pastel pencils that we have tested.  Keep an eye out on this page, as we are always looking to grow our collection of information.

But having these specific values is only the first step.  There are a variety of different methods for grading lightfastness.  And depending on which brand you are looking at or even which model from a specific brand you are looking at, the particular grading scale that they use may differ.  In addition, some brands have come up with their internal grading system.  Talk about confusing!

To cope with this, we have normalized the various ratings into an expected longevity scale.  This scale will vary from 2 years or less up to 100+ years.  These values are based on normal, indoor environments.  If you plan on displaying your artwork under direct sunlight or exposed to other types of light rays, then it will likely shorten this duration.

The most common scales that colored pencil manufacturers use for grading their pencils are the ASTM scale, the Blue Wool Scale, and the Grey Scale.  As we mentioned above, there are also quite a few colored pencil brands that opt for their own in-house scale (Caran d’Ache, for example).

Please feel free to use the Table of Contents below to quickly jump to a specific brand and pencil to view lightfast information.  We have also provided a link to our full review of that particular pencil and a place that you can purchase a set of the pencils online.
