Caran D'ache Luminance Colored Pencils ~vs~ Caran D'ache Pablo Colored Pencils - Comparison Review 

I just got the Pablo pencils and love them. I am trying very hard not to let these kinds of videos persuade me to spend more money but they're doing a pretty good job!

Thank you for this comparison! I’ve always wondered about the differences and seeing them side by side helps so much!

Also just bought the Pablo - the 80 and I love them.... I was good and decided I didn't need the few extra colours. I bought Pablo for the colour range and am so glad I did. My local art store allows you to preorder the new luminance.

Thank you! Finally an comparison that makes sense! Do you know if the colour names/numbers are consistent in different series?

Hello! "Pablo" and "Luminance" are the pencils I prefer... I have Prismacolor, Faber Castell Polychoromos,etc but these ones are the best for me! Do you know Caran d'Ache has just created 24 news tons in Luminance? I'm as glad as a child seeing a Christmas tree! (sorry fort my bad English. I hope you'll understand me)

Thanks so much. which of the 2 will be better to paint over acrylic gouache? Thank u

Thanks for uploading this. This is exactly what I wanted.

I have a few luminances, they are really good pencils, you can work in layers easily with them.

I love the comparison videos you do...Ty for all your hard work...🥰

Thanks for doing this comparison! It was soooo helpful! I already own the pablos but I've been so curious about the Luminance so thanks for doing this so I didn't have the spend the money on it hehe!

I want to try Pablo. The Pablo I see have mostly 2 star lightfast rating pencils in their sets. Its only excellent if its 3 star. I already have Luminance that have all 3 star. PS, The pablos are a fully wax pencil, it is specified in the new red boxes. That is why they blend better and are more opaque than the polys :) they are just a firm core wax pencil. Still, I want them! LOL! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Comparison videos are a great idea! Most helpful to a fellow artist.

Thank you for the video! I wanted to know which ones, in your opinion, perform better on black paper?

I have both and I use them both together. You can’t go wrong with either set really. I highly recommend either set. I basically wanted the Pablo set because I didn’t have any oil based pencils. All of mine (to my knowledge, right now are wax based) the Luminescence are just as beautiful . I don’t use these everyday though I use still use my Prismacolor pencils for everyday artwork . These are only for those special pieces I do that I want to give something extra too! I also own their Supra Water color pencils.... I would recommend them as well you can use them wet or dry they are beautiful as well. Yes I enjoyed the video. Keep em coming.!

I have the Pablo. I really love the brightness of the colors. They really have a smooth, rich texture. I totally enjoy mine. 🙂❤

Enjoyed watching this. Thank you very informative 👍🏼

My specialty is colored pencil portraits. After 23 years of Prismacolors, I'd love to see how dramatic a change another brand might make. My concern is that neither Pablo nor Luminance have anything that looks close to two of the Prismacolor colors I use most - Clay Rose and Rosie Beige. Can I successfully combine a Prismacolor or two with either of the Caran D'aches?

Thank you so much. Loved this!

Thank you so much for that. I’ve never known the difference.

I love the neutral color in luminance, coloring skin with these must be so satisfying. They will be probably forever on my wish list but they r too expensive for me. 😢😢 im opting for Pablos if I will ever have the chamce to buy them

Thank you so much by showing the color comparison in your videos of each pencil type. I'm an artist and been thinking about which set of pencils to buy for the best variety of the color pallet. I like the Polychromos a lot. I do feel convenced to buy the Poblos. I really do like the colors. 😉

Instaclick! Is it bad that I want the full set of both? I love my 40 set of pablo but it needs more olive greens and skin tones for sure (right now I am mixing up those colors.) And the luminance have me drooling a bit.....😭 thanks for the comparison!

This is what I was looking for. Thank you!

Hi I just found your videos they are great. I am new to Caran Dache I just bought the Neo 2, crayons. Love them 💙💚 Also. Just learned about "Toned Tan" and "Mixed Media" paper. Love the Mixed Media by Strathmore, it works with light water brushes. So I want to buy Either Lumince or Pablo but I like the way a waxed (prismcolor) pencil or either Prismacolor Permier or Scholar glides on the paper. Which Caran D'Ache dose this if you know??? Also what paper do you think works best for Cran Dache if you can help me. ALSO..... have you tried Lyria Crayons and if so what do you think? Thk you again. Diane🎉

I love my Pablo's, I am on the fence about the luminous. I love my polychromos and Prisma color and my Derwent, but the oil base Pablo's are really beautiful. Thanks for the video.

I'm saving my money so I can buy the Luminance because I'm an artist and I can use them in my work. They look lovely to use!! Thank you for this comparison! Take care.

Perfect comparison! In my opinion Pablo is the best

Thank you so much for explaining the difference

I want the Luminance full wood case set one day. But…not anytime soon. Lol.

Luminance seem waxier than the Pablo….. at least to my eyes. I have never used either as of yet because I have Prisma, Faber Castell and Albrecht Durers, Inktense, Derwent Artist,Black Widows and Castle Arts so I don’t need pencils right now but I do want one of these Caran D”Ache pencil sets and am trying to decide and everyone says Luminance but they look very waxy to my eyes compared to the Pablo’s.

I wish we had a really bright Pablo

Tu for this video. Now I have to get both sets. Lol

Thank you. Now I know more and do understand the difference. Can you compare the Pablo with the polychromos? What's the diffrence? Best regards from Germany by Judith

Thank you for the review. Have you compared the Pablo's to the Polychromos? I am curious if they have the same lay down when layering and blending, and which set is more lightfast?

What I miss in Pablos, is bright reds. I prefer oil based pencils.

Beautiful, thank you. How do they react to water?

I wonder if wax-based colored pencils saturate the paper so much that layers become almost impossible. With wax pastel I know that this is difficult to impossible.

7:30 I blew on my screen to blow the crumble XD

Quite useful! Keep it up!

Hi, People say that the Pablos are wax-based but others say that it is an oil-based pencil. I'm really confused. Could you please clarify? I love your videos btw. I really should stop but I can't. I'm buying art supplies like crazy.

Im so glad you didn't waffle on and on about NOTHING, nice review !!

Thank you!💓🌞😊

I’m late to the party but thank you for the review

Thank you for the video. Luminance just released an extra 24 colors!
