Do Crayola products have Pantone-calibrated values for their crayons, or any other calibrated specifications?

While we are unable to provide you with Pantone values for Crayola® Crayon colors, you may find software packages that can scan an image and automatically translate it into Pantone values. Another helpful resource is the Pantone Color Institute website.

If you have additional questions, we would love to hear from you! Feel free to call or text us at 1-800-CRAYOLA weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Time. If you would prefer to send us an email, visit our contact us page.

    Q: Are there any tips for painting pumpkins?

    A: Yes, here are a few tips:

    • Water-based products work best on porous surfaces.
    • Water-based products may run or wash off when exposed to moisture, so it’s best to test the paint on your pumpkin first.
    • Allow a little extra drying time for the paint to adhere properly.
    • We recommend displaying your painted pumpkins indoors to protect them from the elements.

    Q: Can I eat pumpkins that have been decorated with Crayola products?

  • Crayola does not control the prices of our products at retail. We sell our products through a network of distributors and retail stores, including brick and mortar stores and online retailers, and recommend they establish fair pricing. Retailers and independent third-party sellers that offer products online through established retail sites can set their own prices and may significantly reduce or increase the cost of a product based on their selling strategy. For example, some retailers will lower their prices on certain products during the back-to-school season to attract customers or compete with other retailers.

     


  • Crayola® Dough, Glitter Dots, and Easy Peel Crayon Pencils are manufactured with wheat (flour) as an ingredient and therefore are not considered gluten free. Most other Crayola products, including Silly Putty, do not contain wheat or other grains known to be a source of gluten.


    Multiple Crayola products are produced in the same manufacturing facilities and on the same machinery. While there is a slight chance of cross-contamination, the machinery used to manufacture Crayola products is cleaned between production runs in a manner that meets or exceeds all regulations.


    This does not apply to licensed products, such as Crayola-brand bath, personal care, or food items, which are manufactured by licensing partners. Please check the back of the packaging for manufacturer details or contact us with any questions.
