Crayola has been the standard for crayons, and at least partially responsible for bringing color naming to the mainstream for 126 years now. The crayons and color names have come a long way from the standard 8 color crayon box of black, blue, red, green, brown, yellow, violet, and orange.
Over the years they’ve added plenty of new colors to their line of wax crayons but not all of those can still be found today. Some of those colors have been discontinued or renamed, for various reasons, and since 1998 they’ve maintain a core collection of 120 colors, (check out our post ‘All 120 Crayon Names and Color Codes‘ here in the COLOURlovers blog to see them all and grab their digital code equivalents).

Retired colors are tucked away in the Crayola Hall of Fame but that’s no place for color! So here we look back at those colors that are no longer at our finger tips but can live forever in our digital coloring books.
