I just bought my first neocolors and this video was so super helpful!! I wanted to buy colors open stock since I tend to neglect most of the colors in pre-made sets, and I was able to pick the perfect colors for myself thanks to this video. Thank you so much!
I’m glad it was useful to you! If you’re interested, I just published a video in which I use them to create a landscape and I pretty much show the whole process :)
@@LaurenceP-art I’ve got in my basket apricot, lime green, mauve and Sahara yellow 🥰 unfortunately the Jackson’s website keeps crashing though making it impossible 😭
This was such a useful look at the 84 set Neocolor II. Loved that we got such a complete look at large swatches combining solid and water activated colors. I did a grinch of screenshots and replayed three times. Love it. Thank you!!!
I just have the 40 set, but they purdy, aye! I also did a very small sharpen of them all and collected the shavings in a couple of old dollar store kiddy paint palettes (that I emptied of the cwappy paint) and added some water so I have some as dried paint to use as well… just be aware that it takes dayyyys for them to “dry” before closing lol Looks pretty on a shelf too, delicious colours!
14:23 P.S. Fast Orange I bet comes from the colour “Octane Orange” which was the colour of my old Ford Falcon car… just a weird translation of Octane to Fast 🤗🧡🧡🧡 Also weird because Octane Orange is more yellow, more similar to what is just called orange
On the pastel the name is lightfast orange so I think it’s just a more lightfast version of an orange? My guess is that lightfast was too long of a word for the color chart which is why they only wrote fast. Now for the octane part, I guess that could be it, I don’t know? Anyway I still like it :)
@@LaurenceP-art Good to know! I thought mine was defective cause ALL of the other sticks are smooth! So thank you for answering me. Is a shame, I would have prefered it was defective, that way I would just get a new one, cause as you said, is a pretty color. Something similar happens with the Electric Blue from the Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils, that blue is really bad, something in its formulation. I hope Caran D'Ache could fix their Toledo Brown!

Omg thank you! I’m so happy I could share my love of Neocolor II, if I had to name a single 2023 favourite, these would be it!
Thank you so much for swatching these! I am so curious to try them for myself. 😊

Thank you so much, that was really helpful. 🥰
I’m glad you thought so! Thank you for watching:)
Thank you for swatching all of these. I thought that the charcoal grey looked like it was granulating?
Hmm maybe but it’s hard to say! Maybe it’s just the sketchbook…

Hi. Thanks for the video. Always nice to see BIG swatches! I really appreciate it! Quick question, is your Toledo Brown somewhat scratchy?!!!
Yes!! It is scratchy! Very strange, but a pretty color nonetheless

@@veystone2580 i agree! I’m still going to use it because it’s so pretty but I wish it was as smooth as all the others!
@@LaurenceP-art yeah.... I use mine too, but is a color that I try not to depend on cause I ain't gonna buy it again, once I run out of it!
Same!
Caran d ache c est top❤
Ouiiii 😍
Rewatching the video so I can narrow down colors and have actually added more....
All of them are sooo pretty!!
