It's well packaged in bubble wrap and cardboard box for shipping. The pencils themselves are neatly stacked inside a tin container. Personally, I love the softcore and blend ability of Prismacolor, but didn't want to spend that amount of cash at this time. Upon looking for alternative softcore coloring pencils, I came across KALOUR. The amount of pencils (180pcs) and the price point ($37+tax) were very good. Upon using them to color in the provided color key, I did notice the core was soft, but not as much as a Prismacolor. So the smearing was almost non-existent but the color payoff was spectacular for the price-point. I did notice some colors were a bit streaky. Most noticeably the metallic, which is to be expected. They do come pre-sharpened to a flat tip. In order to reduce streakiness, make sure to file it or round out the tip on a separate piece of paper. While in use, I did vary the pressure and I can attest that the tips do not break easily under high pressure, but still apply the true color when less pressure is used. Overall, I decided to give this set 5 stars due to the quality at this particular price-point. I feel that this would be an amazing set for beginner artists on a budget or simple everyday coloring as the variety is very desirable. Every color is distinct so there's no worry of repeat colors that is typical for this price-point in artist supplies. Review: Solid Quality and Variety at a Very Reasonable Price - I'm not an artist, but I wanted to try coloring with colored pencils. I did some research before buying these so I could tell (hopefully) if I got a good product. I'm comfortable giving these 5/5 stars considering the price. They have excellent color variety, they don't crumble too easily, and they arrived in good condition. The wood smells nice, and and I don't see obvious knots or rings, so there seems to be a reasonable attention to overall product quality, even though I can see a faint seam on some of the pencils. I think the resulting colors are a little too waxy for them to be truly professional quality, but even laying down color as heavily as seemed reasonable, the cores didn't crack or leave too much powder, and I could continue to blend the colors. They do not feel scratchy or chalky. For an inexpensive brand, I think they have an impressively good formula that will be more than sufficient for all but the most demanding artists who will need to invest in pencils that cost about $2 per pencil and up. Even for those artists, this is a very reasonable way to get a selection of colors for shades they rarely need. The colors seem true to the core and cover paper very consistently. Given my lack of skill, I was still able to achieve a nice clean result without too much streaking. Overall, I think these leave very little reason to purchase more commodity brands. If these aren't to your liking, you'll need to aim for a brand like Prismacolor (Premiere or better), Faber-Castell, or Caran d’Ache, and prepare for a very steep increase in price per pencil. ## Features - VIVID VIBRANT COLOR: Kalour colored pencil set contains 180 professional colored pencils.

Whats its better ?** A: Their pencil colors are the same, the black set is a 3.0MM lead core, and the red one is a 3.8MM lead core. Their quality is the same **Q: Hello, this are professional colors ?? its like prismacolor premier? good quality?** A: Professionals use museum quality light-fast pencils. There are only a few pricy pencils that meet these qualifications. This brand is not one of them so no, they are not professional quality. They are cheap generic Chinese made pencils-the exact same pencils are sold under a bunch of different names. They are not bad for adults who want to use them in coloring books but they do not compare with Prismacolors. I just spray my pages to make them lightfast since my pencils (higher quality than this brand) are not lightfast either. If you had ever used Prismacolor Premiers, you would not mistake the two. Very different. **Q: Is Kalour an American brand ?** A: They are designed by kalour stationery in Houston, but made in China **Q: I actually thought I was buying wax pencils, is the smell normal because they’re oil based or is that a China thing? Thanks!** A: They all seem to have a scent. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prismacolor dupe at budget price *by S***D on December 18, 2025* Arrived quickly and the quality was great for the price.

Read the reviews for this Kalour 180 Colored Pencil Set, and caught a sale price so I figured I’d give it a go. So glad I did! It arrived very well packaged with all 180 pencils neatly stacked in a nice tin container with a snug lid. Definitely a beautiful, quality gift for anyone into colored pencil art! It comes with 168 regular and 12 metallic pencils. A color chart that, once you fill in the corresponding blocks, allows for easy reference of the pencils’ color on paper. I did half with hard pressure and half with light. Not one pencil broke under the harder pressure. (I’ll finish the chart at some point 😊) It also has a color list on the underside of the lid. The colors are so vibrant and so smooth when coloring; no scratching. Great material and I would definitely recommend this set for anyone not trying to break the bank for great colored pencils ✏️ ## Frequently Bought Together - KALOUR 180 Colored Pencil Set for Adults Artists - Rich Pigment Soft Core -12 Metallic Pencil - Ideal for Coloring Drawing Sketching Shading Blending - Vibrant Color（Tin Case） - Prismacolor Premier Pencil Sharpener - KALOUR Colorless Blender and Burnisher Pencils Set,Non-pigmented, Wax Based Pencil,perfect for Blending Softening Edges,ideal for Colored Pencils,Art Supplies for Artists Beginners(6 Pencils Total) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/261954880-kalour-180-colored-pencil-set-for-adults-artists-rich-pigment](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/261954880-kalour-180-colored-pencil-set-for-adults-artists-rich-pigment) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
