Great question, Simon.  I know exactly what you are
saying, as I miss the Berol pencils as well. I was so
excited this year as I was spring-cleaning in my
garage and found an old package of them in my camping
gear. I will have to look them over and compare color,
lightfasteness and even color names with the newer
Prismacolor sets I have. I will make sure to see which
greens I have.
