The colours are pretty vibrant and the leads are soft. Colours are shiny/reflective when in light. Pencils are hexagon shape, 17.5cm long, 0.8cm wide, leads are 3mm thick and are centred. Pencils come pre-sharpen in hard plastic pack. The colours do blend together but not perfect. The 12 colours are dark grey, silver, pink purple, purple, dark blue, dark silver blue, blue, blue green, green, yellow gold, silver gold, yellow brown. The colour of the yellow gold and silver gold pencil seems to be switched with each other, their lead colour matches the opposite colour on the barrel. I would have preferred to have a red colour instead of the dark silver blue or silver gold as that primary colour is missing. If you need a red metallic colour, I find blending a regular red coloured pencil or the yellow gold metallic with the pink purple metallic colour seems to work alright.
