WeatherSealed has an impressive chart showing the evolution of the Crayola Collection of Colors from 1903 to today,as it gre from the original 8 colors to the present 120.
Crayola’s crayon chronology tracks their standard box, from its humble eight color beginnings in 1903 to the present day’s 120-count lineup. According to Crayola, of the precious crayons of my childhood – the seventy-two colors from the official 1975 set – sixty-one survive.
The dialog on his site is hard to follow, but the colors themselves come from both Wikipedia and the Crayola Crayon Chronology.
Maybe you know…my copper crayon has a green covering. Is this just something Crayola does for the heck of it or is there really copper in
this thing?
