Pasteltint and Polychromos swatches

I realise that many people would like to use Castle arts pasteltint pencils but cannot justify or afford more pencils. As I am bringing out a series using them soon, I thought that I would make a swatch chart so you can find the equivalent pencils in Faber-Castell polychromos.

I realise that my writing is not that clear so I have typed up a list as well. You can download it for free as a PDf from my Kofi shop – https://ko-fi.com/s/63e1f3c68a

Some matches are not that close, but they were the closest I could find, without using the same polychromos pencil twice. You will also have to press very lightly with the Polychromos for some of the colours to get a similar intensity.
