Product Information
Full details
Galt Rainbow Pencils are ideal for young artists and creative hobbyists who want to add a unique, multicolored flair to their drawings and coloring projects. These pencils excel at producing vibrant, blended effects with a single stroke due to their unique four-color core, though users should note that the results are better suited for artistic expression than for precise, single-shade coloring tasks.

FAQs
How many colors are in each pencil?

How many pencils are in the pack?
The pack contains 12 rainbow pencils.
Can I use these with a standard sharpener?
Yes, these pencils are compatible with any standard pencil sharpener.

Do I need special paper for these?

Troubleshooting
Pencil lead keeps breaking during sharpening
Ensure your sharpener blade is sharp; a dull blade will tear at the wood and core rather than cutting it.
Colors appear faint on the page
Try applying slightly more pressure or tilting the pencil to a lower angle to maximize the surface area of the lead against the paper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for these pencils; they are ready to use straight from the 21 x 9 x 1cm packaging. These pencils are compatible with standard pencil sharpeners. To maintain the best performance, keep them stored in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the pigment core. If you find the colors becoming dull, a simple sharpen will expose fresh, vibrant lead. We recommend using a high-quality artist paper or standard weight coloring book pages to ensure the best color payoff.
