List of Crayola crayon colors
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 in-
troduction 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 Red
was renamed Chestnut in 1999 due to concern that some
children thought the crayon color represented the skin
color of Native Americans.[2] According to the compa-
Twelve of Crayola’s 133 standard crayon colors ny, 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]
Standard Colors
This is a list of the 133 standard Crayola crayon colors.

64, 96, and 120 packs).[2] These dates are shown in the
