About Prismacolor

Prismacolor began in 1938 when Eagle Pencil Company introduced its Prismacolor line of wax-based colored pencils. The brand later moved to Berol and then to Sanford, and today it is part of Newell Brands alongside Sharpie, Paper Mate, Elmer's and X-ACTO. Turquoise drawing pencils and the Magic Rub eraser also came through the Sanford line and still carry that heritage on their packaging.

Premier colored pencils have a thick, soft wax-based core with heavy pigment loading, which lets artists lay down rich color, layer it and blend it with a colorless blender or by burnishing. The 150-color range is one of the broadest in the market. Turquoise graphite pencils are known for consistent grading across degrees, and Ebony pencils have a wide, smooth jet-black core used for bold sketching.

Illustrators, animators, fashion designers and architecture students rely on Premier pencils for rendering. Art teachers buy 12 and 24 count sets by the case for classrooms and dozen boxes of single colors to replace the shades students use fastest, such as black and white. Drafters and designers keep Turquoise pencils and Magic Rub erasers on hand because the eraser does not smear or tear vellum.

Prismacolor buying guide

How to pick the right Prismacolor product and pack size.

  1. Pick the right Premier set size

    The 12 and 24 count sets cover primary and secondary colors for students. The 36 and 72 count sets add skin tones, grays and muted shades for serious work. The 150 count set is the full range. Start smaller and fill in with open-stock singles for the colors you use most.

  2. Buy blenders and black by the dozen

    Artists burn through white, black and the 962 colorless blender faster than any other pencil. Order PC935 Black and PC938 White in dozen boxes and keep blender 2-packs on hand so a set is not retired because one color ran out.

  3. Turquoise grades explained

    Turquoise graphite pencils are marked by hardness. H grades are harder and lighter for fine lines and drafting, HB is the middle, and B grades are softer and darker for shading. A typical drawing kit covers 2H through 6B. Match the grade to the paper tooth and the darkness you want.

  4. Store pencils to prevent breakage

    Premier cores are soft and can fracture inside the wood if dropped. Keep pencils in the original tin or a padded case, sharpen with a sharp hand sharpener rather than a hard electric one, and avoid leaving them in a hot vehicle where the wax core can soften.

Prices range from about $1 to $540.

Do you ship Prismacolor nationwide and how fast?

Yes. Prismacolor orders ship within the USA from Rancho Cordova, California, with tracking. Ready-to-ship items leave fastest. Delivery time depends on your distance from the Sacramento area and the shipping service selected at checkout.

Is there a minimum order for Prismacolor?

No. You can order one pencil or one eraser. Retail orders of $60 or more ship free; under $60, shipping is a flat $9.99. Business members order by box or case with no fixed minimum.

What does the Prismacolor colorless blender do?

The 962 colorless blender is a Premier pencil with the same wax binder but no pigment. Rubbing it over layered colors softens the transitions, fills the paper tooth and gives a burnished, painterly finish. It is sold in a 2-count pack and most artists use one per set.

What is the difference between Prismacolor Premier and Scholar pencils?

Premier is the professional line with a soft, highly pigmented wax core and 150 colors. Scholar is the student line with a firmer core and smaller color range. SNILLC's Prismacolor catalog is focused on the Premier line plus Turquoise, Ebony and markers.

Can I buy single Prismacolor Premier colors to replace used ones?

Yes. We carry open-stock Premier pencils by color number, such as PC935 Black, sold singly and in dozen boxes. Check the PC number printed on your pencil and match it to the product page.

Which Prismacolor pencil is best for sketching, Turquoise or Ebony?

Turquoise is a graded graphite pencil, so pick a grade from hard H to soft B for controlled line work and shading. Ebony has a single very soft, wide jet-black core for bold, expressive sketches and dark values. Many artists use both.

Does the Magic Rub eraser work on colored pencil?

Magic Rub is a soft vinyl eraser that lifts graphite and light colored pencil without abrading paper or drafting film. It will lighten but not fully remove heavy Premier layers because of the wax binder. It is the standard eraser for drafting and layout work.
