crowded_crayon_colors.jpg

So many crazy color names.

Who doesn’t remember the feeling of opening a brand new box of crayons? Some of us may even remember how crayons smell or taste, but who can forget all the amazing colors to choose from?

Click through the link to see the hex codes for all 120 colours as well as learn some interesting facts such as:

  • The first box of Crayola crayons was sold in 1903 for a nickel and
    included the same colors available in the eight-count box today: red,
    blue, yellow, green, violet, orange, black and brown.
  • In the last 98 years, more than 100 billion Crayola crayons have been made.
  • The name Crayola was coined by Alice Binney, wife of company founder
    Edwin, and a former school teacher. She combined the words craie, which
    is French for chalk, and ola, for oleaginous, because crayons are made
    from petroleum based paraffin.
