Really stupid question...

Does anyone know if colored mechanical pencil lead exists? If so where to buy it cause I can't find any anywhere.
I've never heard of it.
But, that doesn't really mean anything...

Cant say I have heard of one either. I honestly don't think they exist but who knows heh.
I do not think it exists.
Absolutely it exists. My father used to have a metal chest full of such things in our basement from when he was a draftsman.
It was old junk from the '70s, but I've got to believe colored lead for mechanical pencils is still available. (try online?)

It has to be 0.7 mm or smaller, anything bigger I may as well be drawing with a crayon. (such as in that pencil..)
Nevermind, apparently pentel sells blue and red pencil lead in 0.5 and 0.7, unfortunately their entire site is in flash and you can't order from them so now all I have to do is find someplace who actually has it.
I have green metallic lead for mine, came with a Pentel mechanical pencil...am almost positive I got it at Office Depot...

They sell it at staples and officemax. It sux d**k though, it is hardly eraseable, and it is more of a plastic constistancy than lead.
It's colored lead <shrug> and yea, it erases ok...the particular pencil I have is not on their site, but there are others that come in colors and they say they are refillable

Go to your local art store and ask them. I am sure it exists, I have seen it, but not the kind you are probably looking for. I would imagine it would be difficult to find high quality erasable lead.

If you read the above posts you would see that they have already determined that it does exist.

Like I said, ask your local art store.
talk about pencils wtf
wal-mart has some b/c that's what my younger sister uses.
i havent seen any on sale this year, but last year they had a whole line of it at officemax i believe.. metallic blue, green, magenta, purple, red, etc... im not sure the exact thickness.. it was somewhere around .07-.09. (btw.. by metallic i mean has a little shine to it, look at metallic gel pens in stores-same type deal. It erased so/so, most came off, but with some of the colors a residue erase mark stayed- kind of like a crappy erasable pen. Anyway, they werent really art-quality, more for writing than drawing. If you are using them for drawing, i dont see why you would need mechanical.. ditch out the money and buy a box of prismacolor brand colored pencils with a ghetto sharpener.. the quality is definately worth it, best colored pencils out there.
