Grey is where most colour work falls flat — too light and it vanishes, too dark and it swallows the piece. The Derwent Coloursoft Steel Grey C690 sits right in that sweet spot. Soft, velvety core lays down bold tone with minimal pressure. Round barrel grips naturally, whether a Year 7 student is shading a still life or you're building depth on a personal sketch. No waxy drag, no snapping tips mid-stroke. Just clean, dependable grey when you need it
