Royal Purple C270: a soft, wax-based Coloursoft pencil

Royal Purple is colour C270 in Derwent Coloursoft, a soft colour pencil with a velvety strip; we sell it six to a box.

Derwent lists Royal Purple as Coloursoft colour C270. The colour strip is soft and velvety, made for laying down dense, bold colour quickly, as Derwent puts it. Derwent calls the enhanced formulation highly blendable, allowing a wide spectrum of colour to be built up. Coloursoft has 72 colours in all. Each pencil has a soft, wax-based core with a 4mm core size. The drawing styles Derwent lists run from bold landscapes to detailed illustrations, portraiture and fashion design.

Each box from us contains 6 pencils in Royal Purple. Codes to quote are AA700979 (ours) and 0700979 (Derwent's). The range scores 5 for layering and 3 for point strength in Derwent's features table. When matching a pencil you already hold, look for C270 Royal Purple.

Find Royal Purple (C270) in our Derwent Coloursoft collection. It is also filed under Derwent Artist Pencils, with the other Derwent ranges we stock, and in Education Writing Supplies, a broader collection of pencils and writing stock.
