LANDSCAPE SET

PORTRAIT SET

I bought a couple of sets before Curry's (in Canada) stopped selling to people in the United States, and took photos of them, plus wrote down the names and numbers of the different colors in each set (see below for the photos and the numbers - Also, far below is a link to a Conte color chart).

CONTE CRAYON COLOR CHARTS

This Color Chart is provided by Lefranc & Bourgeois as a pdf file that serves as a good reference. Seventy colors are displayed as opposed to the standard forty eight that are available in sets in the United States. Some of the additional colors include nice shades of green such as moss green, leaf green, and dark grey green. I hope to get some of these additional colors at some point soon since I often draw landscapes. - McG

This link provides information on some of the sets of colored crayons that are available. - McG
