Pencil and white pastel on toned paper

Once I've bought a white pastel pencil. When I've took it home and tried on paper - I was completely disappointed. The pastel was too soft in tone and hard to erase. The pencil was tucked on the darkest shelf. The next day I've returned to the art supply store and bought a perfect white chalk pencil - bright, sharp and easy to erase.
Years have passed and now the white pastel pencil is my favorite.
