All 120 Crayon Names, Color Codes and Fun Facts
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Crayola crayons currently come in 120 colors including 23 reds, 20 greens, 19 blues, 16 purples, 14 oranges, 11 browns, 8 yellows, 2 grays, 2 coppers, 2 blacks, 1 white, 1 gold and 1 silver.
Aaron at ColorSchemer.com created a fun list of all 120 Crayon Colors with their hex codes and RGB values. COLOURlovers reproduced this list along with several fun facts.
“the scent of Crayola crayons is among the 20 most recognizable to American adults. Coffee and peanut butter are 1 and 2.”
“Crayola crayon colour names rarely change. However, there are exceptions. In 1958, Prussian blue was changed to midnight blue in response to teacher recommendations that children could no longer relate to Prussian history. In 1962, the colour flesh was changed to peach recognizing that not everyone’s flesh is the same shade.”
But the real gem of this article is the color and hex listing. Midnight blue (formerly Prussian blue) is the hex code of: #1A4876. Peach (formerly flesh) is #FFCFAB.
What a great list.
