Artist-Grade Coloured Pencils

I just had a brilliant product idea that I emailed Liquitex about (because that company loves the experimentin').

An artist grade line of coloured pencils (hopefully at a lower price point than Faber-Castell and Caran D'ache), that conforms to the sam colours, colour names, and lightfastness that a paint manufacturer uses, made of a material that will marry with acrylic paint somewhat better than wax-based and oil-based coloured pencils do. It would make some aspects of art-making easier - fine lines that conform to the colours in the work, augmentation of work such as I do, colouring in prints produced on a press, etcetera.

Such a thing does not exist, you see. Let us hope Liquitex creates such an animal.
