Lightfastness is a critical factor when selecting pastels, especially for artists creating works intended for display or sale. High lightfastness ensures that colours remain vibrant and true, resisting fading caused by exposure to light over time. Professional-grade pastels often include lightfastness ratings, allowing you to make informed decisions about their longevity. While affordable options may offer vibrant hues initially, they may lack the durability needed for archival-quality work. By investing in pastels with excellent lightfastness, you can ensure that your artwork retains its brilliance for years. Whether working on fine art or personal projects, choosing lightfast pastels is a crucial step in creating lasting, impactful pieces.
