Rembrandt soft pastels owe their quality to the close collaboration with professional artists, combined with traditional expertise and more than a century of experience in the manufacture of pastels. Each colour is made according to a unique formula and the necessary raw materials go through strict controls for each new batch.

The softness has been chosen so that the pastels can easily transfer their colour while at the same time not fall apart or turn to powder. Rembrandt pastels owe their very high colour intensity and purity to the choice of high-quality pigments and high pigment concentration. Only through a strict selection of the pigments used can the best combination of the characteristics be achieved. No harmful pigments are used.

The colour numbers followed by .5 are the pure pigment. .3 has some black mixed in and higher numbers have white mixed in.
