Blackwing Colors were designed specifically for coloring. Each pencil is made with genuine incense-cedar and includes a unique soft and smooth Japanese wax color core. Each pencil features the same semi-hexagonal barrel and iconic ferrule found in Blackwing's graphite pencils. The design also features a special sand eraser with a semi-abrasive texture made specifically to erase colored pencils.

Each set includes 12 colors: Pink, Red, Yellow, Orange, Light Green, Green, Light Blue, Blue, Violet, Brown, Black, and Silver.
