Background

Most of the original names described common artists' pigments, especially those of oil paints, which the crayons were intended to replicate; but over time, many of these names were simplified. Beginning in 1926, the Crayola line included names based on the Munsell color system, and through 1949 most new crayons represented light, medium, or dark shades of colors appearing on color wheels of ten or twelve main hues, expanded to eighteen in 1958. With the introduction of the No. 64 Box in 1958, many existing colors received unique names, most of which remained consistent through 1990.^[1]

The introduction of specialty crayons beginning in the 1970s added a number of new names to the Crayola lineup, but it was not until the explosion of new product lines and "fun" alternate names for regular colors in the 1990s that the number of names appearing on Crayola crayons expanded exponentially. Together with the addition of new crayons to the regular packaging, these names create a potentially confusing maze of information, thereby necessitating this list.^[1]

Unless otherwise stated, all information concerning the identification of various names with existing colors is based on Ed Welter, The Definitive History of the Colors of Crayola, CrayonCollecting.com. Some names in this table are followed by Roman numerals, indicating that the same name was used to refer to different colors at different points in time. These numerals are not part of a color's name.
