Prismacolor 72 color set includes 48 chroma colors, 11 tints, 13 non-color. Here they are mounted on the 36 Real Color Wheel. 4-5-7, plus one extra added color, Prismacolor's PC919 Non-Photo Blue as the Cyan. First make a couple copies of the uncolored blank color wheel, for tests when adding new colors. To get a blank color wheel RGB 7" templet to print and color in click this link: http://www.realcolorwheel.com/rcw7inBlanktempletRGBbkwt300dpi.tif.zip Here is the full Real Color Wheel with links matching pigments. http://www.realcolorwheel.com/colorwheel.htm *36RCW Colors: Primary= RCW#1 is Yellow, RCW#13 is Magenta, RCW#25 is Cyan. Remove the Indigo Blue pencil PC901, and replace it with PC919 Non-photo Blue. This color does not come with this 72 color set but it is very important. *RCW's Three Set Numbering System:
*Values: 10 shadow blocks down to neutral dark, 9 tint blocks up to white. *3 primary colors equally separated by 120 degrees on a circle of 360 degrees. Blend these 3 transparent colors evenly in the large outer circle blocks, or buy pre-made colors of any media. Color code each 10 degree block of color starting with pure yellow as #1.0.5, each new color is 10 degrees away in the 36 color wheel. The center color of each 10 degree range of variable colors represents all nine different colors on a 36RCW 10 degree color. The center of those nine colors is 5. Modifier is the term for the third number set. Cyan's gradient colors from RCW#25.0 to RCW#25.10 are the same gradient of colors that go from RCW#25.0, RCW#24.0, RCW#23.0, RCW#22.0, RCW#21.0, RCW#20.0 and RCW#19.0. The colors on the exact other side of the color wheel, from Yellow RCW#1 to RCW#7 have the same phenomenon. Colors from RCW#1 to RCW#7 all darken to red's RCW#7.10, dark just the same way cyan to blue darken to blue's dark. *How to read this palette list.

Pencils and Pastels and crayons need pressure and lighter colors are not generally made with less pressure, it takes another pencil, as pastels do. Magenta, PR:122 is Prismacolor's #995 called Mulberry. This is a full hue magenta that in watercolors would be thinned down to make pink. In pencil use #994 called Process Red as the lighter tint of magenta. Both make good darks with green (#909 Grass Green). Prismacolor 1003 Spanish Orange is a dual-toned pencil. Light rubbing with is will give a lighter hue of yellow. It shows up more with an alcohol wash. Prismacolor PC922 Poppy Red needs more red in it I think, cadmimum red light would be the natural pigment to use. Prismacolor's PC903, called True Blue, pencil#31 has too much magenta in it, it's closer to cobalt blue hue. Maybe there is a better match in a larger set but for now I'm moving it to Cobalt Blue's spot, RCW#22. Let me explain. Cyan is a transparent color, someday it will be dual-toned with a dark ultramarine blue like yellow is with brown. When using opaque pencil cyan it darkens with ultramarine blue, like the sky. Comparing the darkest browns;
Prismacolor has 3 dark browns, a magenta side brown RCW#10.10.5, a green side brown RCW#33.10.5 and a yellow side brown RCW#1.8.1. Normally Raw umber is a yellow-green side brown. Burnt umber is normally a red side brown. Prismacolor's Dark Brown is really a lighter burnt umber, a handy color. Dick Blick has 2 dark browns, a red side and a yellow side. Those are the normal burnt umber and raw umber. Dick Blick calls them Bt Umber and Dk Brown.

| Here is the 72 plus one Prismacolor pencil set, without any color blending. I shouldn't have used this one for my color blending because the paper was already compleatly filled in.
But I did..  |
All pencil colors opposite each other will blend dark neutral. With this Real Color Wheel any brand of colored pencils can be mounted. I didn't have an ult. blue RCW#19 dark enough to show only 10% of color so I added the opposite brown to darken it. RCW#22 and RCW#25 should be done with their opposite colors also.

Match your "any brand" of pencils to this chart and mount them on a Real Color Wheel. Create darker shadow colors by adding the opposite color, any time. |

Geez, colors are really getting confused. Azure natural's most prominate color in it's range is a cobalt blue hue. It will make a cyan to ultramarine blue but the cyan is rare. D.B. has a cyan hue called Azure, and an ultramarine hue called Cobalt blue Dark but they really have no cobalt blue hue at all. Their Cobalt Blue Dark hue is a ultramarine blue RGB#19 and their Coblat Blue is ultramarine blue red/side. B5 across the top and 4 down looks cobalt blue on my monitor but that's an RGB problem, in real life it has more magenta in it and is a tint of ultramarine blue. There is no magenta hue in this set. 3down and 3 across is PV19, a red/side magenta.  |
