Colors are awesome, had purchased the 12'pcs and fell in love with quality had to have all 150. There is breakage only in some of colors when sharpening but not many. The best sharpener for this item is def. the prismacolor brand, it does make a difference. There is more breakage if using a different brand or inexpensive sharpener. But if you are willing to spend the money for these pencils you should spend a little extra to purchase the best sharpener. Well worth it. Love love this brand. As I like to say they color like butter.

My husband got these as a gift for me after I had seen a commercial on Prismacolors with soft core pencils lead work great with water color too. Or if you get the tip wet you get the same color just more intensity. Wow! I have spent several days playing and trying different techniques with great results. These are the BEST colored pencils I have ever owned. I don't let little people use these. I have another box of a less expensive brand, we use when I have "help." If you want them for coloring or you are a real artist you won't be disappointed. Except you won't want to put them away.

I do love my Prismacolors. They lay down beautiful deep rich color. They are definitely an artists quality pencil, not a pretender. Some really appreciate the blending ability of Prismas, I am not one. They are OK with blending. They do leave a lot of what is called WAX BLOOM because they are wax based. It can also be very difficult to find the right pencil sharpener that is not constantly breaking the prisma tips. With some, you can chop off half a pencil trying to get an unbroken tip. A positive of being wax based is that you can heat up pencils that may have the leads broken inside them, saving the pencil. You cant beat the color selection of the 150 set. I will use them a lot but not as much as my FC Polychromos which I feel is the standard to measure all colored pencils by. Those blow away Prismas for blending and layering. They are oil based and don't leave the wax bloom that prismas do Prismacolor Premiers is a medium to medium high quality artists pencil. A stepping stone to the high end polychromosRead full review

My art-loving daughter was beyond thrilled to receive this fabulous set of Prismacolor Colored Pencils. We all tried to think of a color that isn't included, and were not successful - it's all there. And, as my son-in-law pointed out, if you want to color an avocado, it's no help at all to just have Lime Green, Leaf Green, and Mint Green. My daughter also told me that all the Prismacolor Pencils are available as open stock at many art stores. So, if you just love Cherry Red, and use it up, you can replace that one pencil. The Prismacolor quality is well-established, so I don't need to reiterate that.

It doesn't get any better for color range, quality and pigment saturation. Best on the market, just wish it came with like 10 whites for blending and a sharpener... that would complete the set.
