I bought the 72 pencil set, and overall, I'm very pleased with them. I found a couple that aren't quite true to the color they appear to be. For instance, there is a green pencil (550, I believe, but I can't remember for sure, at the moment) whose lead is a vivid, almost neon green, but when put to paper ends up being avocado. I only experienced this with a couple pencils, and it isn't the norm, as the ends and tips are generally a good representation of the actual colors. There are also a couple pencils that aren't as pigmented as the others and require a heavier hand, but again, that is by no means representative of the entire box. I received them with a single broken lead, again, no big deal out of a box of 72 pencils. For the most part, I found these pencils very vivid and richly pigmented. I didn't have to press hard or go over an area repeatedly for the colors to transfer nicely. Blending and shading were a breeze. I purchased this set at a discount that I received in exchange for my testing and an honest review. I've picked up coloring as a hobby and stress management tool, and am glad to have picked up these pencils. I'm even happier that I chose the large box, as there are a few colors that are similar, but I haven't found any duplicates. If you're into drawing or coloring, I recommend these.  Read Less
