    Default Rainbow Pencil Lead

    I have some old rainbow (mulitcolored) pencil leads but would love to get more. Does anyone know where you can buy some?

    Thank you for the link Neo. I'm looking for a single lead with all those colors in it at once -- so it writes like a rainbow. I didn't see that there.

    I'm afraid I don't know where you can get those rainbow leads, which is very unhelpful of me! But I do love the look of these; they look great fun http://www.cultpens.com/i/q/KH28032/...ic-lead-pencil

    Pentech used to make something called a Rainbow Stix which was a mechanical pencil with 1.3mm rainbow lead but no one seems to carry them anymore. I haven't even turned one up on Ebay yet.

    I hope you find some. That is pretty cool! I have a wooden pencil that does this (I bought it from a museum). When I get home I will see if I can tell who the maker is; perhaps they sell the lead by itself, too.

    That's very cool.

    I have the wooden pencil with such a lead but a mechanical pencil will be much more convenient.

    I've stumbled upon something that strikes me as similar while browsing CultPens.

    That's the pencil I have. I wondered if the company made just the leads.

    The lead I'm looking for would fit a mechanical pencil so it would be about .9mm to 1.1 mm

    You could put those in a leadholder though, right?

    This is an awesome idea!
