WHY I LOVE CRAYOLA COLORED PENCILS | Everything You Need to Know About Crayola | Adult Coloring

[@cindy9376]

What a well done video. You are a wealth of very important information especially for us newbies. I was actually going to buy a set of wax AND oil based pencils only because the more videos I watched the more I got confused so this video settles that. I am buying the Crayola to get my feet wet and go from there so thank you so much…..I’m off to sub to your channel.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

You will love the Crayola pencils. There are so many unique colors that you won't find in other sets. It's a great place to start if you're just starting out.

[@76elyard]

I LOVE my CRAYOLAS!!!! Thank you for sharing yours Pamela and others. The 150 set is pretty well put together. First off the pencils are in sleeves for those who use/store in the original packaging. Then there’s the colors, the full 120 set plus 24 skin tones and six colors previously introduced in the crayon line (4 from Colors of Kindness) is awesome. My personal fav. is Crayellow. The crux is that the hair and eyes colors included in the Colors of the World are simply renamed colors within the 120 set: Black Hair is black, Brown Hair is brown, Blonde is unmellow yellow, Red Hair is burnt sienna, Brown eyes is antique brass, Hazel Eyes is light brown, Green eyes is Jade, and Blue Eyes is turquoise. But don’t be disappointed, the new colors are gems! Four of the six colors are pastels /muted colors that extend the range of existing pastels such as palm leaf, wild blue yonder, and pale rose, to make a quite compelling range of soft hues when combined with the neutrals. None of my $$ pencil sets have quite this depth overall -- brights, pastels, neutrals, grays, skin tones, fluorescents / neon, as this set of 150. It’s quite the Crayola sampler.

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

I actually really like the skin tones. Great for a beginner like me.

[@LeeDee5]

I had been a Crayola crayon collector and I have always loved crayolas shade range which also translates really well into their pencils. I didn't realize they had a 150 set now, once I go to walmart I will pick it up!

[@kaymartinez5455]

I have the 150 set, I added back the few missing colors from the 120 (the eye & hair color ones in the 150 are renamed/adjusted names from the 120 as well.) Some of the new shades are from Colors of Kindness, along with 2 new shades. I have them in a 184 case & added the Metallic set, the full Colors of Kindness set (to get the ones not in 150,) and a regular Gold & Silver from a smaller set. It gives me lots of options and I love my Crayolas, all varieties of them. Thanks for all your Crayola videos, Pamela. It has helped me so very much and all your videos are full of such good information and ideas.

[@medicineponygirl]

I LOVE the Crayola colored pencils! The colors are wonderful but the thing that REALLY sold me on them is the video you made showing them being used over the Satin Liquid Glaze coloring book pages! Game changer for me on so many levels. Thank you Pamela for helping convert a former " pencil snob" into a happy, humble Crayola lover. My wallet thanks you too 😂

[@aandjdusik]

Where is the video showing that please?

[@princepeterwolf]

I LOVE the Crayola colored pencils! Def my fav out of all the budget friendly options out there.

[@mariaquintino1670]

I love my crayolas. Going to my local Walmart to pick up the 150 set. Already have the 120 plus world color set😊 thank you for the video

[@makeishiagrant5602]

Thanks Pamela I'm a new subbie🎉 I love your videos.. I've been coloring for many years but no where on the level of what I'm seeing on you tube... I have majority of the Crayola sets including the world's and color of kindness... I'm getting a delivery today for the shuttle at 174 pc set.🥳. I'm definitely ready to take my basic coloring to a new level...🙌🏽 I've been collecting books since 2015 😂 Your videos are a game changer

[@gwenscoggins1]

You've sold me Pamela I will get both sets now !

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

They are wonderful pencils and don't seem to get the love they deserve. I still need to get to Walmart to grab the 150 set. Have a great day!

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

I feel I get more creative with them at this point in my journey. I find myself a bit nervous using the prismacolors I guess from them being a bit pricier and not wanting to waste them. One thing I wished they would do is make the names easier to read on the pencils.

[@jeanblythe1595]

I love Crayola, and so will add the 150 to get those new colors. I just ordered from Wallmart and they will be delivered later today :D I'm so glad you give Crayola some love because a lot of colorists think this brand is beneath them. This is where most of us started, and I still love my Crayolas. I have also finally made friends with Prismacolors :D Thank you, Pamela!!!

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Have fun with your Crayolas!

[@gregruns]

Thank you. Very informative. Cheap enough for set and backup set.

[@deanieedwards8117]

I love my crayolas..i will look for 150 set. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for all you do.

[@margareta6103]

I have regular Crayola sets but I really love their Colors of the world sets, they have so many neutral colors, the ones I love the most. I like drawing cartoon-like bird characters, and the Colors of the world are ideal for my birds and their environment 🙂🐦

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

Agree totally. I was a bit surprised at how good they were.

[@CazkiwiNZ]

I adore my Crayolas! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗🤍🤎🖤 I have the 100 + 24 COTW + a spare 12 set and I made a cool coloured lazy Susan to display them ✏️

[@rubyfisch5077]

Thanks for all the information. I agree with you about the writing on the barrels. Almost all of my sets have either gold or silver writing, and it's really hard to read them. I say, get rid of the glitz, and just print them in black writing. There are many eyes that will thank them.

[@Lc_Flores]

great video, 😄 i have all 3 sets and they are all great for colouring its just that for creating artwork theres a major difference. I'd recommend any of the 3 based on budget, crayola is a great way to begin.

[@KellyGoodwin-m3n]

Thanks so much for this video. It's extremely helpful for me! Hugs. I think that Powder Blue is from the Kindness set..

[@MrVjay70]

Just bought the 50 count

[@tatummcp89]

I read somewhere that it was the metallic copper and metallic bronze, gold, silver hazel and metallic blue that were removed from the 120 set... i havent bought either set but definitely interested to get them if i can 😄

[@lydiapittman7976]

I love your videos! I just ordered the 150 set, It is AWESOME that we can use these wonderful affordable pencils to create beautiful pictures, TY !

[@carolbogdan6757]

I just received my new 150 set with the skin colors, eye colors etc. This set is a Wal-Mart only set. It took 3 attempts for mine to finally get to me. What a pain but happy I finally got them. I was surprised to find it specific to Wal-Mart only. I am going to try them out this pm.

[@marcwheeler4406]

Enjoyed videos found it interesting and informative..

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@melehu8368]

Apparently I don't have enough to do (this is extreme sarcasm). I sat down with printed swatches from both sets. To the best of my figuring without having the pencils in hand yet: The 150 set seems to include the full 120 plus the full colors of the world set. As far as I can tell, the 8 colors that are shown as the part of the Colors of the World set work like this: Black = Black Hair, Brown = Brown Hair, Unmellow Yellow = Blonde hair (which, in my mind is...a decision LOL), Burnt Sienna = Red Hair, Antique Brass = Brown Eyes, Light Brown = Hazel Eyes (I might have the two preceeding mixed up, I'm working from the color swatches), Jade Green = Green Eyes, and Turquoise = Blue eyes. At least, those are the colors that aren't listed on the set and seem to be close equivalents to what is shown on my cruddy printed off swatches. Other than the one set of mixed color pencils and the small set of metallics, the 150 set seems to include every basic Crayola that is currently produced. I don't particularly like the renamed colors, but that's my own small quibble. The couple of new colors make up for it. Maybe I'll spring for a larger case and just keep the old ones in and the new renamed ones in with the colors set, so I don't confuse my poor, small, addled brain. EDIT: And now I see Marjorie did it before me and came to the same conclusion. Welp. LOL

[@bethieb8160]

I have the 150 set, the colors of the world set and the colors of kindness set. I havent swatched the 150 but now i am curious to swatch them all out and see which are the same.

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Thanks for the heads up about these pencils, I've just checked them out on Amazon and sadly they are out of stock and they don't even know if they're going to be back in. Tfs xo

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Great comparison between the cheapest set and one of the better sets!! 👍 A Crayola playlist sounds awesome!! 🌈 I wonder if some of the missing colors are in the colors of the world set? So, not really missing, just shifted?

[@marjorieweinstock2640]

I don’t have the 120 set (just the 150 set) but I’m fairly certain none of the colors are missing … they just renamed some of the colors as eye & hair colors.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

I assumed the eye and hair colors are part of the Colors of the World. That's how they have it on the back of the box where the swatches are. I'm going to look into it some more. Thanks!

[@chelleanderson8964]

I did a bunch of research into the set when I first saw it available. The new colors in the colors of the world set are just the black, brown, and other colors from the 120 set renamed. The only real difference in the 150 set is the 6 new colors. And if you already have the 120 set you just need to buy the colors of kindness and the other new specialty set to get those 6 new colors.

[@marjorieweinstock2640]

Based on what’s “missing” here’s how I think they’re renamed: Black hair = black Brown hair = brown Blonde hair = unmellow yellow Red hair = burnt sienna Brown eyes = antique brass Hazel eyes = light brown Green eyes = jade green Blue eyes = turquoise

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

I was just in Walmart, had the 150 set in my hand and was looking at the new colors thinking they looked like the colors I saw on the swatches a while ago from the Kindness set. I went all through Walmart looking to see if they had any Colors of Kindness sets and they only had the crayons which I already have. I would guess it doesn't make sense to get the 150 set for me. I am going to be looking for the Colors of Kindness set though.

[@bette-annflood835]

Interesting.

[@kristen7211]

Now I need these! 😊

[@spiritsjoy]

The new colors they mention are 6 of the 12 Colors of Kindness, but renamed. So i guess they are only adding 6 of the 12 pack permanently to the line. However not sure if the hair and eye colors are new, i bought the 24 pack of colors of the world didnt realize there was a 32 pack of pencils. They did release the hair and eyes in the 32 crayon set. My favorite crayola color is outer space, it is the perfect shadow color.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Thank you for all the great info!! This is very helpful. I love outer space too!!

[@deana9550]

I think that Powder Blue is from the Kindness set.

[@voiceoveraudiojanet2540]

Thanks so much for this video. It's extremely helpful for me! Hugs

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it ♥️

[@kraznia]

I purchased the new set of the twistable bold and bright pencils today at Walmart and just finished a first little swatch test. I love them! They will be great to take with me for my planner. They really do hold up on dark paper. Maybe not to the level of Prismacolor, but Prismacolor are a little too fragile for banging around in my bag. Even the yellow actually looks yellow and not green on budget black mixed media paper. Can't wait to play with them some more. The white is meh on black paper, but didn't expect a lot (no different than their standard white pencil). There's no black in the set as it's intended to be used on colored paper. The other twistable sets have black.

[@ShatteredRippleBooks]

I love crayola pencils I only have the 24 set but I do have other pencils. I just haven't had the cash to get a bigger set yet.

[@brendachambers8456]

Great information. I just ordered mine from Walmart. Too bad you don’t get credit for it. Thanks! By the way, I love all the information you put out and the coloring too!

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

That’s great! I do have affiliate links for both sets in the description box. Those links do help my channel out if you use them at no cost to you. ♥️

[@gloriadunning6742]

Are your color along videos not on this channel anymore?

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

I have a few color alongs on my channel and they're all in playlists.

[@peggyw4268]

I have the 100 set and most of the colors are included.

[@UsGal65]

Thank you for this interesting video! Here we mostly know Crayola for their crayons (kids), and their markers saved me when l started art therapy (l can't do anything good with Stabilos pen 68/88 🙄). But l didn't know about their colored pencils. I'm slowly learning to use cp's, from cheap ones like Faber Castell's Dark Edition, to more expensive like Polychromos (only the 60 pieces box,which was on sale recently). And yes, some work better than others depending on the paper. I love the smooth, tender ones, l see the Crayola's have lots of beautiful and rare colors, but can you tell me if they're hard or rather soft ? I checked on Amazon and of course there are opposite reviews as always 😉 Thanks for helping 💕

[@annsimonsen3273]

I just got the 120 set but am having a problem because the color lead does not match the out side. Any sugestions on how to mark them? If the color on the outside matched the swatch it would really help. The lead does not have to be the same color just the out side. Once I find a soulation for this problem I know I will love them. Your tutorial sold me on them. I need help!

[@susansullivan7816]

Ann, why not trying to color a long swatch the width of a piece of transparent tape, then wrap the tape around the end of the pencil like a cigar band and tape that down? Maybe that'd help?

[@melehu8368]

Oh dammit...I should NOT be spending money and I am frantically trying to downsize. But I just bought two sets of the 150 because I can't resist new colors. And I love my stupid cheap crayolas. I still say the only thing hard enough to sharpen a crayola is another crayola though. ETA: Still hoping for that color family chart for Crayolas as well! Though I must admit the sets I grab for most with Crayolas are what I call my chaos set--a set of 100 + the neons, thrown into a random pencil case. ETA again: I should have watched the whole video first, YAY for the upcoming Crayola chart!

[@angelasantos4730]

I Have Crayola Colored Pencils 120 And Crayola Colored Of The World 24 And Crayola Colored Scented Pencils 12 And Crayola Metallic Colored Pencils 8 All together

[@melehu8368]

I got my boxes today! Quick warning...the boxes are not very sturdy. Be careful or you might be making a little extra work for yourself. I won't have time to swatch for a bit, so I taped mine shut with packing tape. The bottoms were already half torn open!

[@BirdieGenny]

Can Crayolas be purchased open stock somewhere?

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

No they can't, but you can purchase packs of them for super cheap.

[@shaunaburton7136]

I like the colors and blending of crayola but mine just break a lot.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Oh no! I’ve never had an issue with breakage.

[@bette-annflood835]

I just had my daughter pick up my 150 set at lmart. 22.82+tax. Said normally 26$ and change.

[@ChelleBeeby]

💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜

[@ChadQuick270W]

I bought 100 Crayola pencils for $16 at Target. I paid a lot more for Prismacolor and also Verithin pencils as I used to use them back in the 80s and 90s. I find that they now just break a lot when I use them or try to sharpen them. Admittedly, most of my coloring is adult coloring books so these Crayola pencils work perfect for that. Prismacolor just isn’t what it used to be when made in the USA. I just don’t find the price is justified for Prismacolor.

[@LourdesEsmeralda]

People polychromos are not for colouring! If you like to color go with the crayola, if you want to do a artistic piece use polychromos which are lightfast! Or go for luminance, I would never use crayola for a art piece
