Carbothello pencils are... green 1400/585, red... 305, orange, 221, lemon yellow 205, yellow ochre 685 and white 100. I don't use this brand's blues as the lightfastness is very poor. so I use Conti a Paris ones for them,... No10, No 06, No 22 and No46. Also the purple red for the deep shadows ... No19
Rembrandt Sticks... Black
If you can afford it I would recommend buying the all the brands I use as sets as the extra colours would be very useful for clothes and backgrounds and can work out cheaper per pencil... affiliate links below.
