Default input on watercolor crayons please

I used w/c crayons for the first time and "wow", I love it. Don't know which ones work best. Any opinions would be appreciated.

I second the SU! ones. I have the original set in one big tin and I LOVE them. They do last forever.

I have the SU ones in the BIG tin, also. If I were to buy them now, I probably wouldn't purchase the Soft Subtles set. I haven't had good results with those lighter colors. I love the Rich Regals, Earth Elements and Bold Brights!!

I have the SU ones and I absolutely love them. I also have WC pencils- not SU though and love those also. However, the crayons would be my favs just due to the range of colours and the way they match the rest of the SU line.

Another vote for the SU! ones. They are so easy to use and I love the way they look when using an Aquapainter.

I have all of the SU ones and love them also. I also have several neocolor ll ones that I bought in an art supply store. They had metallic ones so I bought them and a couple more. They seem to work as well as the SU ones.
Edited to add that if you try the soft subtle crayons, I have found that they work better if colored on the stamp itself and then misted or color right on to the paper and worked from there.

I have the CTMH pencils. I liked them, but have not used another brand to compare them to.
