Introduction

In this booklet you will find a colour conversion chart from Derwent Coloursoft (my preferred coloured pencil brand for this course) on the left side to Prismacolor Premier on the right side. Please note that these are recommendations only, they are not exact matches. Where the number has been written more than once, it means that there were no colours similar to match with and the suggested colour is the best option to consider using.
