I use light backgrounds and a lot of blues and pinks in quilting fabric so I'm at a loss of how to get the chalk colors to show up. Are there more colors coming out?
Purple? Orange? Darker grey? I love how the light chalks show up on the batiks; I just don’t use batiks, not my thing. Need colors that show up equally well on light/dark since most people I would think use quite a bit of contrast in their quilt blocks. Having the pencils in different colors would help too since I often have to go and redraw where the chalk doesn’t show up with a Sewline watersoluble pen.
I like the darker grey idea and have played around with it. I will revisit where I left off. Purple would be too close to the blue and orange scares me because the yellow in it. Yellow is notorious for staining. Thanks for the suggestions and sorry for such a late reply I need to look at my notification settings.

Hmm, you're not alone so all signs point to yes on the new color question. Yellow? Gray? What would you suggest? Thanks for the question!
You should watch this video about pouncing techniques, it might help for now. ua-cam.com/video/w8Y3nfX_7zU/v-deo.html
