List of Crayola crayon colors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11/17/11 10:56 AM List of Crayola crayon colors From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Crayola crayons have come in many colors since their introduction in 1903. By 1905 Binney & Smith's Crayola crayon product line had reached 30 colors.[1] In 1958 the number of colors increased to 64. Eight fluorescent colors were introduced in 1972, increasing the number of colors to 72. In 1990 the total increased to 80 colors with the introduction of 16 colors and the discontinuation of eight colors. The number of colors was increased to 96 in 1993 and to 120 in 1998, though with thirteen crayons being retired along the way, the total of colors is 133.[2] Along with the regular packs of crayons, there have been many specialty sets, including Silver Swirls,[3] Gem Tones,[4] Pearl Brite,[5] Metallic FX,[6] Magic Scent,[7] Silly Scents,[8] and more. Colors have been renamed through the years. In 1958, Prussian Blue was renamed Midnight Blue. The color known as Flesh was renamed Peach in 1962, partially in response to the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. Indian Twelve of Crayola's 133 standard Red was renamed Chestnut in 1999 due to concern that some children crayon colors thought the crayon color represented the skin color of Native Americans.[2] According to the company, however, the name originally referred to a reddish-brown pigment from India that is used in artists' oil paint.[2] In the past, some crayons have been temporarily renamed, such as the 2004 State-Your-Color Contest[9] crayons and the eight Kids' Choice Colors in the 2008 50th anniversary 64-count box.[10] Contents 1 Standard Colors 2 Specialty Crayons 2.1 Silver Swirls 2.2 Magic Scent 2.3 Gem Tones 2.4 Changeables 2.5 Color Mix-Up Crayola's thirteen retired colors 2.6 Pearl Brite 2.7 Crayons with Glitter 2.8 Metallic FX 2.9 Silly Scents 2.10 Heads 'n Tails 2.11 True to Life 2.12 Extreme Twistables Colors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors Page 1 of 15 List of Crayola crayon colors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11/17/11 10:56 AM 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Standard Colors This is a list of the 133 standard Crayola crayon colors.
