14 neocolor II crayons to get started

“If people sat outside and
looked at the stars each night,
I'll bet they'd live a lot differently.”
Bill Watterson

I've been trying to narrow down a short list of Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Crayons to get started. As with my list of golden fluid acrylics, you can make a wish list and start building your stash. Neocolor IIs are the water soluble type, and they are luscious! Lyra aquarelles are quite good as well; I have more Neocolors so I'm using those color names/numbers. You can use them to highlight art journal pages, edge images, paint them with water for a watercolor look, draw on a wet page for intense color...

• For lemony yellow, choose #470 - spring green or #010 - yellow.
• For bright red, choose #290 - ruby red or #070 - scarlet. Ruby red is a touch darker.
• Optional: #407 - Sepia, #131 - Periwinkle Blue, #160 - cobalt blue , #139 - indigo blue, #730 - chinese green.
