Grey pencils are the quiet workhorses of a drawing set, and a cheap one goes chalky or shifts tone within months. You need a grey that stays put. The Derwent Lightfast pencil in Cloud Grey delivers a cool, opaque mid-grey that resists fading for up to 100 years under museum conditions. Use it for shading, architectural detail, or tonal depth without worrying the piece will look different next decade
