28 NEW Derwent Inktense Colored Pencils

I received very good news at Creativation 2023 this year. Derwent expanded their line of Inktense pencils from 72 pencils to 100 colored pencils! I am very excited for the addition to the Inktense colored pencil series.

What are Derwent Inktense Colored Pencils used for? They are watercolor pencils that are permanent once they are dry. They can go on ceramics, wood, fabric and paper. Many of them are lightfast once dry and have a rating on each pencil. They are perfect for backgrounds and to use on their own for a project. The colored pencils are activated with water and turn into "ink". The pencil colors can be mixed together and activated at the same time or they can be layered after each layer has dried.

Click here to find these on Blick Art Materials once they are available. 

The Derwent Inktense pencils can be used in a variety of different ways.

  • The pencil can be applied to a medium and then wetted and spread.
  • The pencil can be wet when applied to a medium.
  • A paint brush can be used to grab the pigment ink from the pencil either from another paper with a swatch or directly from the pencil lead itself.

Color Information

Here are all new colors of Derwent Inktense Colored Pencils for 2023. I have included just the new colors in the chart below. Find the chart here.

  • Amethyst 0735, Sugar Plum 0715, Pink Flamingo 0405, Persian Red 0330, Paprika 0317, Wild Flame 0313, Orange Sorbet 0255,  Mango 0245, Golden Sun 0225, Gold 0215, Lemon 0110, Lime Green 1535, Olivine 1340, Jungle Green 1410, Mint Leaf 1240, Malibu 1213, Sea Breeze 1225, Mineral Blue 1215, Dark Cerulean 1010, Denim 0835, Lapis Blue 0825, Violet Blue 0805, Nightshade 0770, Storm Dust 2107, Asphalt 2103, Burnt Umber 1903, Dark Mink 2130, Natural Brown 1907


How To Get the New Pencils

The new 28 Derwent Inktense colored pencils can be a little tricky to find in US right now. They are available in England right now, that is how I got them. Derwent tends to release products in England first and have more availability over there than they do here. For example they have a 28 tin for these and the lightfast pencils, but they have no such thing in the US.

The new 100 box of Derwent Inktense was 348 at the time of this post. I already have the 72 and do not want to pay 348 more dollars to get 28 pencils. I had to get the 28 by themselves. That is what I would highly recommend doing because otherwise it will be a lot of money. It is also cheaper to get the 100 pencils by themselves than pay 348, the pencils at the time of writing this are 2.10 per pencil.

This is the case that my 28 colored pencils came in. It is a good idea to find somewhere to store them if the tin is not purchased. That is the downside to not being able to get a tin.

The pencil pouch can be found on Amazon.


Swatch Charts

I have made a swatch chart for the 100 Derwent Inktense Colored Pencils. Click here to get the chart. There are several ways to fill in the chart. This first chart I lightly colored in the rectangle and then activated the color with water.


This next chart I did not color on the chart with the colored pencil, but I used the a supersaturated chart after this to pick up the color and fill in like a watercolor. I think this method is my favorite because there are no pencil marks.


Just for kicks and giggles I wanted to see what the colors looked like when they were super saturated. This is the chart filled in with the colored pencil pressed as hard as I could before I activated the colors. This is also what the colors would look like before they are activated. They can be used like this and not activated. Some of the lighter colors are super pretty this way. Some of the darker colors do not have much color differentiation at this point.


This is the chart with the colors activated. As with the chart before the colors were activated some of the colors are super dark, but the lighter colors are super vibrant and pretty. I did notice that the colored pencils color mark on the paper changed when the mark was activated.


What Did I Think?

When a company offers new colored pencils colors it is very important that the colors are different. Here is the first chart with the colors circled that are new. Most of the colors are different. Amethyst, Malibu, Mint Leaf, Storm Dust, amd Jungle Green are vastly different. Some of the yellow and red colors are similar to colors already available. Would I get the rest of them? Yes, because I did, but for people trying to decide look at the chart and see what colors are vastly different.

Crayola 100 Colored Pencils Rich, Vibrant Colors

When I saw this set of 100 Crayola colored pencils on their website, I knew I had to have them. Lucky for me it was Christmas time and I needed to buy one more thing to get free shipping. And here they are. They are so pretty. They are standard Crayola pencils. The set contains some colors not seen in the 100 "different" colored pencils line. But all the colors in this box are in the 120 count box.

This box is aimed at reaching adult colorers and is perfect because colored pencils are the best for coloring. On the back it says, "coloring for grown-ups." The palette has been chosen to "keep you calm, cool and colorful".  I love the different colors and intensity that can be used with shading with colored pencils. This set is nice, but I would definitely recommend the 120 count box for people that want ALL the colors.

Complete List of Current Crayola Colored Pencil Colors

Crayola started making colored pencils in 1988, not nearly as long as they have made crayons. Over the course of this time they have made 12 count, 24 count, 36 count, 50 count, 64 count 72 count and finally 100 count boxes. They have made an 8 count Metallic and 8 count Neon or Extreme box also. Some of these colors, but not all have been incorporated into the higher count box sizes.

Crayola also came out with a box of colored pencils called Color Escapes. This pallet was slightly different than the standard colors used in their other boxes. Most noticeable is the color Jade. It is truer to the actual color. Most of the colors are more vibrant in this box. There is the exception with a bunch of peach and apricot colors. I do not know if they were just trying to get to 72, but the colors are very similar and not needed.


Click here to get swatch charts for all the Crayola Colored Pencils.

Here are all the colors charts for the different box sizes. This first chart includes the color name, hex and RGB values for every colored pencil color ever made by Crayola in their standard box (not the 72 Escapes).

100 Count Crayola SuperTips Washable Markers: What's Inside the Box

Overview and Review

Crayola came out with 100 Crayola SuperTips Washable Markers and I can not be more excited. There are 100 unique colors in the box. None of the colors were exactly the same when I sorted them in color order.  I received confirmation of this when I asked Crayola for the color list and there are 100 different color names. I love using SuperTips for coloring because they are very good for detail work at the tip, but can also be used for thick lines by using the whole marker.  The price tag is a little hefty, I think they were 24.99, but I used a coupon at Michael's to make them more affordable.  I found them during back to school time.

Crayola 100 Colored Pencils: What's Inside the Box

Overview and Review
The 100 count Colored Pencils box is a big deal for Crayola. It is very exciting because it contains the largest selection of colored pencils Crayola has ever made!

Up until now the most colored pencils that have been available were 64 small colored pencils and were not named. The biggest box with named long colored pencils was a 50 count box.  The 100 count box along with Crayola Escapes 72 count colored pencils is ideal for people that want lots of colors from Crayola.

The new colors that were added to the 100 count box are:

Brick Red, Jazzberry Jam, Ruby Red, Coral Reef, Cantaloupe, Sizzling Sunset, Light Orange, Heat Wave, Orange Circuit, Harvest God, Unmellow Yellow, Daffodil, Lemon Glacier, Palm Leaf, Olive, Arctic Lime, Granny Smith Apple, Fern, Spring Frost, Shamrock, Tropical Rainforest, Absolute Zero, Blue Bolt, True Blue, Wild Blue Wonder, Cornflower, Outer Space, Indigo, Blue Violet, Purple Heart, Plum, Purple Mountains' Majesty, Lilac, Royal Purple, Red Violet, Mauvelous, Razzle Dazzle Rose, Pink Flamingo, Winter Sky, Tickle Me Pink, Blush, Fiery Rose, Fuzzy Wuzzy, Cocoa, Copper, Antique Brass, Khaki, Almond, Apricot, Beaver, Dark Chocolate, Timber Wolf, Warm Gray, Ash

The following colors were removed from the 100 count box: gold and silver. Why? I have no idea, those are fairly popular colors.
