Key Features and Design Benefits
- Curated Pastel Palette: A strategic selection of nine markers featuring soft tints across the spectrum, including airy blues, mint greens, pale pinks, and warm neutrals for gentle highlights and subtle shading.

- Dual-Nib Versatility: Equipped with a flexible brush tip for delicate details and fluid linework, alongside a sturdy chisel tip for broad, soft color fields and graphic blocks.
- Archival Pigmented Ink: The fast-drying, water-based formula is highly lightfast and becomes waterproof once dry, allowing for sophisticated layering of soft tones without smearing or damaging the paper surface.

Application and Usage Guidelines
- Subtle Layering & Blending: Use these pastel tones to create smooth, atmospheric transitions. Because the ink is waterproof once dry, you can layer these light colors to increase saturation without the risk of lifting or muddiness.
- The Pantone Paper Advantage: For the most accurate color representation and the best blending experience, use these markers with Talens | Pantone Paper, specifically developed to keep these light pigments vibrant on the surface.
- Under-Drawing and Accents: These tones are ideal for establishing light shapes in a composition or adding soft highlights and reflections over darker colors once they have dried.
- Maintenance: To ensure the longevity of the dual-tip system, always store the markers horizontally and ensure the caps are firmly clicked shut to prevent the delicate nibs from dehydrating.
