Did you know that Crayola has been making crayons for over a century? They went into business in 1903 when they produced a set of just 8 crayons. Since then, they’ve created a truly staggering and iconic array of crayon colors. Now, thanks to AAA State of Play’s infographic, you can see them all. Their chart tracks over 400 colors created over Crayola’s long years in business, including special edition sets and discontinued fad crayons.
This rainbow of color is a visual delight that will appeal to artists young and old. After all, Crayola has a long history of inspiring children. They’ve been the entry point to art for many children. The crayon names have been used to teach young kids how to identify colors. You’ll see on the graphic that they’re paired with things like animals and objects to help cue kids to remember the names.
