Choosing colored pencils for art supplies often comes down to two questions: do you want the larger color assortment, or would you rather keep the listed price lower while choosing an oil-based format? These two new Brutfuner sets make that decision fairly direct. One is a 180-count watercolor-pencil set intended for drawing and lettering; the other is an 80-count oil-based colored-pencil set for art and drawing projects.
Quick verdict
Pick Brutfuner Watercolor Pencils (180) when a larger set and the watercolor-pencil format are the main priorities. Pick Brutfuner Oil-Based Color Pencils (80) when an oil-based pencil set and the lower listed price matter more. The listed-price spread is $18, so the choice is less about a tiny difference and more about selecting the pencil type and set count that suit the work you plan to do.

Where each set fits best
Choose the watercolor-pencil set for a broader color selection
The 180 Brutfuner watercolor pencils are the better match for shoppers who want the larger count named in these two options. Its description specifically calls out drawing and lettering, making it the more targeted pick if lettering is part of your planned art-supply setup. The watercolor-pencil type is also the clearest format choice for anyone already looking for watercolor pencils rather than simply a general colored-pencil set.
Choose the oil-based set for the lower listed price
The 80 Brutfuner oil-based color pencils have the lower listed price of the pair. Their description centers on art and drawing projects and calls out a multicolor range for detailed, expressive artwork. This is the straightforward selection when you want an oil-based colored-pencil set without moving up to the larger 180-pencil option.
Product notes
Brutfuner Watercolor Pencils (180)
At USD 42.90, this set is the choice to make when the 180-pencil count is a meaningful part of the decision. A larger named count gives you a broader starting assortment than the 80-pencil alternative, and the drawing-and-lettering description gives it a defined role beyond a general art set. Its watercolor-pencil designation is especially relevant if that is the medium you intend to use. Both selections are new Brutfuner products made in China, so those shared details do not separate them. The practical trade-off is the higher listed price: this is not the set to prioritize when minimizing the immediate spend is more important than choosing the larger count and watercolor-pencil format.
Brutfuner Oil-Based Color Pencils (80)
This Brutfuner oil-based color-pencil set is listed at USD 24.90, making it the lower-priced choice in this head-to-head. Its multicolor description and focus on art and drawing projects make it a sensible fit for someone assembling a colored-pencil kit around that use. Choose it when oil-based pencils are the format you want and 80 pencils feels appropriate for your project plans. The limitation is visible in the title itself: it has 80 pencils rather than 180, so it is not the selection for a shopper whose first priority is the larger named color count. It is also a different pencil type from the watercolor-pencil set, so the format should carry real weight in the final decision.
Final choice by use case
- For drawing and lettering with a 180-pencil set: choose Brutfuner Watercolor Pencils (180).
- For art and drawing projects with oil-based color pencils: choose Brutfuner Oil-Based Color Pencils (80).
- For the lower listed price: choose the 80 Brutfuner Oil-Based Color Pencils.
- For the larger listed count: choose the 180 Brutfuner watercolor pencils.
The deciding factor is simple: choose by pencil format first, then let the $18 listed-price spread and the 180-versus-80 count guide the final call.
