Derwents are nice, but in my opinion, they are more well known for they're sketching/drafting pencils. i wouldn't recommend their colored pencils because they don't fill enough, and the tones are a bit, well, i guess i can't describe it, but i'm not too fond of it.
however, if you want high quality for a fair price, i recomend prismacolor. they not only blend great, but the colors are just outstanding. not to mention prismacolor makes excellent markers that match the exact colors of the pencils. so if you use "Spanish orange (P1270)" as a base color using the marker, you can touch up and or shade with a "Spanish Orange (P1270)" pencil. not to spam up the place but i've tried alot of different brands, and Prismacolor is by far the best in my opinion.
