The Definitive History of the Colors of Crayola

Reference – Alphabetical List of Crayon Colors

 

This is the quick reference of list of color names from a multi-part series of articles written to tell the tale of the history of color names for Crayola. 

 

Alphabetical Listing

 

This lists all the Crayola color names used.  They are in alphabetical order (there may be multiples of a color when that color was available with different true colors that represented it).  Also note that the discontinued colors are NOT grayed out as with the other list (I couldn’t find a way to automatically do this).
