I bought these for my Plein Air set to have quick neutrals that I don’t have to mix on paper. I was a bit surprised the set has a white and 4 very dark value colors that I didn’t need. However those 4 are on the cool side. Maybe instead add a row of nearly blue to green neutrals. Good news they are soft and I love the value range. Of course with any color it depends on what it is sitting next to that determines if it’s cool. It will be fun painting and exploring with these nearly neutrals. If you are OK with getting a white and 4 darks then go for it.

They are what I use about 90 percent. Nothing like them, a nice little square stick that goes on smooth as silk with a great color.

Typical Blue Earth pastels - so soft and buttery. I have trouble see value and temperature in whites and these two sets make it easy. I bought one in cool and one in warm.

love these neutrals for shadows and underlay. Will look at warm neutrals next!

Gorgeous rich but subtle colors…buttery soft and brilliant.

I just loves these pastels the rich colors they are so creamy and go down on the paper just beautifully. Money well invested.

Opening the box for the first time, I was even happier than I expected to be. Seeing the colors on my computer just did not compare. Immediately, all kinds of ideas formed for the future. Just then I used them to tone down a summer green scene. Exactly what it needed!! Love them!

Blue Earth pastels are a favorite of mine. The texture and size make them a great tool. The neutral cool set I just purchased has a good variety from from the slightly warmer to the the coolest grays. My only regret is that I do not have the whole set.

I love the texture and the subtle coloring of the neutrals.
