Do the pencils actually HAVE metallic colors? Is black included in the set of 12? Thanks!

Yes, these are lovely metallic pencils that spread easily. They are the thicker ferby style. Last a very long time, don't snap even with toddler use. Look particularly great on black paper and mix well with regular color giants. Includes 12 metallic shades that harmonize nicely. Does not include black, which I think is frowned upon in Waldorf art instruction for young children. It does have a great silver that you can blend over black.

The pencil comes loaded with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, sky blue, pink and brown. I really like this pencil. Hope this helps!

They are half of normal pencil length. A little longer than a gold pencil. Hope this helps. I like mine.

The set I received had 150 individual pencils- all different colors. Also, you can order each color individually so if there was one color you use a lot you can always get a replacement.

This package came with black, white, bright yellow, light & navy Blue, red, pink, orange, light and neon green, and two shades of purple. I think I got them all. The quality was quite good. We've had none break that I know of. However, during sorting (we put them into a case with separate compartments for each color) we removed about 5 that looked weak. We thought they were cut improperly and would probably break so threw them out ahead of time to save some tears for the kids. But 5 out of 1000+ isn't bad! I hope this helps.

It's a fairly basic assortment; you have the 12 real basics - black, white, orange. The second tray of 12 pencils contains shades such as peach, Spanish orange, goldenrod, indigo. I am not 100% certain that the list that follows will hold true for every set, but here's what is in my set. Black, dark brown, sienna brown, grass green, apple green, true blue, violet blue, violet, crimson red, orange, canary yellow, white; Tuscan red, poppy red, Spanish orange, goldenrod, Parma violet, mulberry, true green, light cerulean blue, dark green, indigo blue, peach, and pink.

Nope-the names are not printed on the pencil. The outside of the pencil is painted the color of the lead inside though...They also have a feature they call "A-B-S" there is a white protective coating that surrounds the lead core-making it break resistant ... this works well too- it wasn't till just now that I discovered what the ring was for- thanks to your question I took a closer look at the box-I wondered what that was all about. I can say I have noticed that my leads don't break as often when sharpening- not 100% but enough that I noticed. I like these watercolor pencils- and I would buy them again.

They aren't all metallic. Only the ones that look metallic in the photos I would say. I have the big set that has the bright colors in it - so I love the peach/pink, peacock blue, ..there are a lot of greens that I gave away but if you like green you'll be set. The dark purple is amazing too. AA few have glitter pieces in them. Don't loose the sharpener, they are hard to sharpen even with it and without it you're lost hahah. Hope that helps.

They do not. I also purchased the sharpener and it works great, pretty inexpensive. Great pencil, smooth easy to write with.

Yes, each of the 48 pencils are labeled by their color and their product # such as PC####. These all sell separately to for $5.99 to $7.99 each!

The entire portion below the center silver ring seems to be metal. Everything above that is a very heavy weight plastic that looks metallic. It's a great pencil, with heavy weight and greta feel.

Yes. They are longer than a typical crayon but shorter than a standard #2 pencil.

Yes it is black and green, it is a great mechanical pencil. I have bought many for myself and friends, just a great writing tool!

It is just the outside of the pencils that are different colors although you can buy different color leads to go into the mechanical pencils. I saw them recently either on ebay or amazon. Haven't tried them yet.

Each pencil contains a different color grease. I believe there are six different colors. 2 pencils of each for a total of 12
