6/24/04 MAJOR RE-WRITE COMING!...FOR NOW, REVISED LABEL #'S ON COLOR LISTS PAGE...
in 1999, Crayola changed the name of INDIAN RED to CHESTNUT...they reminded us that only 2 other colors had ever been renamed...PRUSSIAN BLUE renamed MIDNIGHT BLUE in 1958...and FLESH renamed PEACH in 1962...
this is complete baloney!...FLESH was originally called FLESH TINT...and in the mid-1950's it was temporarily renamed PINK BEIGE...GRAY was once NEUTRAL GRAY...the introduction of the 64-count in 1958 saw many renamings, including ROSE PINK to CARNATION PINK and GOLD OCHRE to MAIZE...
then there were the famous RETIRED 8 in 1990..."for the first time ever..." another fantasy!...lots of other colors had been retired since 1903...and some have since been un-retired!...
this site recreates Crayola's true history thru its colors and crayons...it includes:
lost color lists ...the meat & potatoes...MAJOR REWRITE...more revisions to wrapper generations, more case histories...
48 turns to 64 ...getting to the bottom of the BABY BOOMER crayons...
krayola kolor notes ...a broad spectrum of stuff, more on the way...
prefluorescence ...the amazing story of crayolas that glowed...before they were supposed to!...
cray o dentifier ...yes, there's more to crayons than Binney & Smith...and more to Binney & Smith than Crayola!...FLASH!!..nuther batch of new entries...
i need your input!...your info!...your criticisms!...your corrections!...check your crayon collections!......thanx!!! ---stolf---
