About this material
Faber-Castell Goldfaber are colored pencils that do not dissolve in water. The 3.3mm core has a high pigment content and lays down soft, bright color. It resists fading in light, and it is water-resistant and smudge-proof. A treatment makes the core hard to break, and the pencils fit a standard pencil sharpener.
In Japan, there are tin sets of 12, 24, 36, and 48 colors, plus a 27-color pencil roll in a fabric case that comes with a graphite pencil and a sharpener. The company's global site shows 48 colors, also sold as single pencils.
A separate watercolor pencil line uses the same name: Goldfaber Aqua.
