I recommend artist-quality colored pencils for this. You’ll get the most vibrant colors and some great color choices. Blending colors is easy with high-quality pencils too. Prismacolor, Faber-Castell and Bruynzeel are all trusted brands. Here’s an article with suggestions.
(Stay away from Crayola and other cheap brands you can buy at Target and Walmart. You won’t be happy with them! You should be able to find a nice set of quality pencils at Michael’s, Hobby Lobby or an artist supply retailer like Dick Blick. Or you can order online, of course.)
