About this product range
- Professional quality

- Smooth, intense color laydown
- Firmer texture ideal for detail and layering
- Clean, low-dust application
- Full stick size: 2-3/4"L × 7/16"Dia
Rembrandt Soft Pastels have been made in the Netherlands since 1899 using pure, finely milled pigments and minimal amounts of kaolin clay as a binder. This low-binder formula keeps the colors clean and brilliant, while giving the sticks a soft, smooth texture that's just firm enough to give you control. You can blend easily, build up layers, or draw clean, sharp lines without the crumbling that sometimes happens with extra-soft pastels.
Completely free of heavy metals like cadmium, cobalt, and lead, every color is developed from its own unique formula to get the best possible color intensity and handling. The pigment and clay are mixed, then shaped through a small-scale extrusion process, which produces consistently sized, uniform sticks. Throughout the process, everything from pigment grind to final wrapping is tightly quality-controlled, resulting in professional-grade lightfastness and a premium feel and finish.
Full sticks are wrapped and sold individually or in sets. Half sticks measure 1-3/8"L × 7/16"Dia and are unwrapped, available only in sets.
__Color guide:__ Numbers like 205.3 refer to the color and tone. The decimal tells you how the color is adjusted—.2 and .3 mean it’s mixed with black, .5 is the full shade, and .7 through .12 are tints with increasing amounts of white.

Diarylide Yellow 83
- Pigment code
- PY83
- Type
- organic, disazo
- Chemical formula
- C36H32Cl4N6O8
- Properties
- Diarylide Yellow is a semi-opaque, moderately staining, intense deep reddish yellow pigment with good tinting strength.
- Permanence
- Diarylide Yellow 83 has very good lightfastness and permanence. However, it can fade in tints, so some artists do not consider it suitable as an artists' color. Many other diarylide yellow pigments are reported to have fair to poor lightfastness, and some are completely fugitive. Diarylide Yellow 83 is reputed to be one of the most permanent of the entire group.
- Toxicity
- Diarylide Yellow has no significant acute hazards, but chronic hazards have not been well studied.
- History
- Diarylide Yellow comes from a family of azo pigments called Diarylide. These yellow hued pigments were developed around 1940 and are very important in printing inks.
- Description
- Benzidine Yellow, Diazo Yellow.
Hooker’s Green
- Pigment code
- PB27
- Type
- mix of organic pigments
- Chemical formula
- C30H18FeN3O6Na
- Properties
- Hooker’s Green is a bright olive-green often sold in a yellowish shade and a bluish shade. Its transparency can range from dull and dark to bright and light because lightness and chroma vary based on manufacturer. Modern varieties have a rich, dark tone that provides a great range when mixing. Hooker’s Green is particularly good for landscape painting when a larger range of foliage is required. Dioxazine Violet is the best mixing compliment in watercolor form.
- Permanence
- The permanence and lightfastness of Hooker’s Green varies by brand. As a composite pigment historically mixed from Prussian Blue and Gamboge, its permanence is only fair. Modern replacements for Hooker's Green tend to be mixed with components that have more permanence, such as Phthalocyanine Green, Burnt Umber, and sometimes Hansa or Cobalt Yellow.
- Toxicity
- Hooker’s Green can be hazardous, but the toxicity level depends on the specific pigments used by each individual manufacturer or brand.
- History
- This pigment was originally an unreliable mix of Prussian or Iron Blue and Gamboge. Later, it became a more reliable mix of Cadmium Yellow and Phthalo Blue or Green. It was a staple green for 19th century landscape and botanical painters. Most modern Hooker’s Green paints are yellow greens with a hue angle around 140, or a mix of Phthalo Green and Burnt Umber.
