• Why don't Crayola Crayon label colors match the crayons?

  We currently use 12 different colored labels for CRAYOLA Crayons. The labels are purchased through an outside vendor and made of either vat dyed construction paper or printed paper and reforested wood. We manufacture more than 120 different Crayola Crayon colors, however, we do not have a crayon label to match each of these colors.

• What are the names of the retired crayon colors?

  Throughout Crayola's history, several crayon colors have been retired, marking significant moments in the evolution of our vibrant palette.

  
  

  1990
  For the first time in Crayola history, eight colors were retired and placed in the Crayola Hall of Fame: blue gray, green blue, lemon yellow, maize, orange red, orange yellow, raw umber, and violet blue. Eight new colors were added: cerulean, dandelion, fuchsia, jungle green, royal purple, teal blue, vivid tangerine, and wild strawberry.

  
  

  2003
  Celebrating a century of bringing color to the world, Crayola introduced four new colors named by Crayola fans! To make room for the new hues, we bid farewell to blizzard blue, magic mint, mulberry, and teal blue. The four new colors that were introduced are: inchworm, jazzberry jam, mango tango, and wild blue yonder. Kudos to our hue heroes - the consumers who voted in the "Save the Shade" campaign, ensuring burnt sienna stayed in the pack.

  
  

  2017
  To mark National Crayon Day on March 31st, we announced Dandelion was leaving the pack. To honor this iconic color, we sent Dandelion on a retirement tour to his favorite places. His replacement, Bluetiful, was announced on May 5, 2017.

• Do you offer helpful hints when selecting a Colors of the World skin tone and undertone?

  What are skin tones?

  Your skin tone is the genetic amount of melanin, naturally occurring dark brown or black pigments, in the outermost layer of your skin. Skin tones can change over time for various reasons.

  
  

  What is your skin tone?

  There are 3 traditional skin tones: Light, Medium, and Deep.

  • Light or fair skin tone: Contains a small amount of melanin within the skin.
  • Medium skin tone: Contains a fair amount of melanin within the skin, is a neutral color, and has a beige appearance. This skin tone is often referred to as an “olive” color.
  • Deep skin tone: Contains a large amount of melanin within the skin.

  
  

  What are undertones?

  Undertones are the natural colors underneath the surface of your skin. Because undertones are under the surface of the skin, you can have the same skin tone as another person, but have a completely different undertone. Undertones are not based on skin tone. For instance, a light skin tone can have a warm undertone and a deep skin tone can have a cool undertone. Also, undertones remain the same, even when you tan. There are 3 traditional undertones: Rose, Almond, and Golden.

  • Pink, blue, and/or red hues under the skin = Rose, pink, or cool undertone
  • A mixture of warm and cool hues typically the same color as your skin tone = Almond, neutral, or olive undertone
  • Peach, yellow, and/or gold hues under the skin = Golden or warm undertone

  
  

  What is your undertone?

  You can identify your undertone by using the color of your veins. In natural light, what color are the veins under your skin on the inside of your arm or wrist?

  • Blue and/or purple veins = Rose or cool undertone
  • Colorless, same color as your skin, and/or a combination of blue and green veins = Almond or neutral undertone
  • Green and/or olive veins = Golden or warm undertone

  
  

  Tips for selecting your Crayola® Colors of the World® skin tone crayon color:

  • Check out the color panels on the side of the Colors of the World crayon box.
    • Match: Use crayon box color panels or create color swatches.
    • Select: Pick colors closest to your skin tone.
    • Color: Draw your #TrueSelfie with your unique colors!

  
  

  Another way to find your skin tone crayon is to color a small area on a piece of paper with the crayon colors closest to your skin tone. Compare the areas with the inside of your arm or wrist and select the crayon color that best matches your skin tone.

• What were the original eight (8) colors in the 1903 box of Crayola Crayons?

  Recognizing a need in schools for safe and affordable wax crayons, Binney & Smith created the first box of eight Crayola Crayons in 1903. Sold for a nickel, this box included red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown, and black.

  
  

  The Crayola name was coined by Alice Binney, wife of company founder Edwin Binney and a former schoolteacher. It combines the French word for "chalk" ("craie") with "ola," meaning "oily."
