This American made pastel is buttery soft, resists crumbling and has an expansive range of colors now being made in square sticks. (*Some inventory remains of round sticks which will be shipped until all the old stock is phased out.) The Great American line has the best value ranges available with a pure color and either 5 or 6 tints! There is an extensive range of metallic and pearlescent colors. Great American is also known for "unique" and fun color names.
FULL SET: To get all 507 colors, purchase the 468 Full Monty and the 39 Son of Monty (new colors in 2007).
Color numbering system: 3-digit color number followed by a decimal and a single digit
(0 = pure color and .6 = lightest tint). For example 380.5 = Chimayo lightest tint.
TWO NEW SETS: Great American Artworks has introduced two new sets for 2010: Daniel Greene's Master Portrait Palette and Bob Rohm's Painterly Landscape Assortment.
