Discontinued Prismacolor Pencil color - Please Help!

[Kosmopooch]

Hey Everyone-
I'm in a pickle. One of my favorite colors from the Prismacolor Premier colored pencils has been discontinued. It is color PC 1015 Deco Blue, a sky blue color with nothing comparable in the Prismacolor Premier line of pencils.

My pencil is down to it's last sad inches and once it's gone I won't be able to purchase a replacement.

Anyone have sets of Prismacolor Premier pencils that they don't use or that they can spare this particular color from?

I'd be happy to trade other supplies or art for one or two to have as spares.

I'll check tonight for you!!!

I found one possible supplier

Maybe not?
It seems the whole Deco series has been discontinued.http://www.htmlforums.com/images/smilies/sadbanana.gif

Have you tried eBay?

[Kosmopooch]

Yes, checked ebay! I'll keep looking~

[Pippin]

Sorry I have PC905, PC1027, PC903 and PC992. I will check our local art store for you!

i went to the art store today and didn't find any pencils that color, but they did have a couple markers left! want 'em?

[Cazfun]

I rang my local Art store that I know sells the pencils individually and they don't have any stock either... thought I'd have a bit of luck in Australia... but sorry

No markers, thanks for the offer Rothko!

Thanks so much to everyone for checking. Lizz is so kind to send me one. I know Chronata is looking for one, too. So if anyone else comes across one, let me or her know. Thanks!

[Chronata]

Yes please! If anyone else has one ...or has a lead on one...please let me know!

I started an alphabet...and I can't finish it because my deco blue is now completely gone (I was using the last tiny bits in a mechanical pencil...how desperate is that?)

[Cazfun]

Don't know if this will help anyone but I found this on an artist website showing these colours

Deco Pink =Derwent Rose Pink #18
Deco Yellow =Derwent Primrose Yellow #4
Deco Blue =Derwent Turquoise Blue #39
Deco Aqua = Derwent Turquoise Green #40

I don't have any derwents so I can't verify...

I have one. Does anyone still need it? It's not brand new, but it looks like it's only been sharpened once or twice.

I sent an email to these guys guy@paperpeople.co.uk

Do you still have any of the now discontinued Prismacolor Deco series pencils in stock? We are particularly interested in the Deco Blue PC 1015.

Thank you very much.


This is their response
all colours in stock priced at £1.99 per pencil.

I have Derwents and my #39 is a VERY light blue leaning slightly towards green. Very much a Mediterranean/Caribbean type blue.
Slightly darker than the theme of this site, close to the link font color.
