I will start off by saying this will be a rather lengthy post, but I hope some find it helpful, and I hope those with other brands of colored pencils might do the same for us (In another thread, please! LOL)
I did up 2 reference sheets for Prismacolors, one on black and one on white. I will add them to this post. I have also sorted all the colors by manufacturer’s number, as well as by the name of the color. This is in case you want to know what a base color looks like, you can reference these charts. I know the limitations of the computer, and that everyone’s monitors are set slightly different, but I thought it would be a good place to begin with at least . The charts are done using a “medium” type pressure/color saturation.
Here are the full line of Prismacolors on Black cardstock:

Please feel free to use these charts, copy them, save them, print them, make your own LOL. I used 3/4 inch (approx. 2 centimeters) squares to make the charts and placed them inside a clear holder so I don’t smudge them. I can’t think of anything else to add at the moment .
August 12, 2001 at 5:25 pm #998762Wow! Ivy what a lot of work you put into this!
It is extremely helpful and I have voted it as such.
Thanks!:clap:Lulu
Proud to be Kiwi!
August 12, 2001 at 6:09 pm #998767Thanks Lulu, I am glad you found it helpful! I think I probably spent about 5 hours all told on this project, including about 2 1/2 hours it took me to get every pencil sharpened…LOL. I’m thankful I have an electric sharpener, but even then it overheated a few times while I was sharpening :o .
August 12, 2001 at 7:08 pm #998765Great idea adding the names and numbers Ivy
