Review on πŸ–οΈ Premium 160 Professional Colored Pencils Set for Coloring Books | Vibrant Colors for Sketching, Shading & Coloring | Soft Series Lead | Convenient Tin Box by Nicole Mcleod

Good price but same as Zenacolor

This is a great value pencil with a wide range of colors including metallics. However, when I created the sample sheet, the color names looked familiar. too familiar. So I looked at my other pencils and realized that this is exactly the same pencil set as the Zenacolor 160 pencil set. They have the same color name, number, pigment and characteristics (including a slight flaking under pressure). The ONLY difference is the look of the kegs, the fact that they come in a metal can while Zenacolor comes in a cardboard box and both are within a dollar or so. Haven't seen them anywhere like the Zenacolor, which I also own. The Zenacolor/Cool Bank link is not in the Revain description or on the box. Not in the Revain flyer that came in the Cool Bank box. Not worth returning, but I'd like to warn those who collect different pen sets for different pigment colors that this one and Zenacolor are exactly the same! Beware!
