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.
Chronological Listing
This lists all the Crayola color names used in the year order they were
created. When more than one color was
created in a year, those colors were added alphabetically. The only exception is that if the same color
name got used more than once but with a different true color, those were placed
together so that they could be easily identified and distinguished between each
other. This is the exact same list that
appears at the end of the multi-part series.
