About Caran d'Ache

Ever since the creation of the Maison in 1915, all Caran d’Ache products have been produced in its Geneva workshops. Since its beginnings at the dawn of the 20th century, Caran d’Ache was the one and only manufacturer of writing and drawing instruments on Swiss soil, it has been part of this same lineage of excellence, technical quality and craftsmanship.

Colour pencils and inks are systematically tested for their lightfastness, while fountain pen nibs and ballpoint or roller pen tips are checked in terms of their priming quality and writing flow. Individual controls are conducted regularly in accordance with requirements and product types.

Luminance Pencil Set (Set of 40)

Luminance 6901

Luminance 6901 artist’s pencils, specifically designed by Caran d’Ache in its Geneva Manufacture with colour image professionals in mind, reaffirm the high quality standards of the Maison. The new leads are designed for works intended for exhibition, collection and museum purposes.

Highly Sought

Highly sought after by drawing masters from every creative sector, the subtle velvety effect of the new permanent pencil stems from two years of technical research conducted in complete secrecy at the heart of the Maison’s workshops. Its delicate texture, along with the vibrancy of the many recently developed shades, open up exciting new vistas in the realms of overlaying, mixed techniques and gradation.

Top Results

Its extreme lightfastness is confirmed by the most rigourous tests, earning Luminance 6901 top results.

With Luminance 6901, Caran d’Ache has achieved the feat of creating quite simply the most lightfast colour pencil ever designed.

    Product Description

    The Caran d'Ache Luminance 6901 40 piece colour pencil set is a combination of the highest lightfastness and the smoothness of a permanent lead. Every shade has been formulated using finely-ground pigments chosen for their purity, intensity and resistance to UV. Colours can be blended, burnished and layered on a variety of surfaces. The casing is made of California Cedar from managed forests. The smoothness of the Luminance 6901 leads require the use of a well-sharpened pencil sharpener. The pencil cap indicates the colour of the pencil lead.

    5 Stars
    Incredible quality
    They were a gift but the now-owner is super happy with the quality and the color popping out from the paper! The packaging is super tight and foam covered, protecting the lead from breaking. The smell is pretty good too! Worth the wait.
