The Faber-Castell Polychromos Manganese Violet colored pencil (ref. 110160) features a 3.8 mm permanent lead that provides a cool violet tone with a velvety texture and even coverage. Its very high lightfastness prevents loss of color vibrancy over the years when the artwork is displayed. The sophisticated Manganese Violet color is the ideal choice for painting shadows on flowers, sunset skies, and fabrics.
