Thank you so much for posting this. Interesting info concerning the re-naming of such colors as Flesh and Indian Red.

Also took me back to how much I loved a new box of crayons with those lovely sharp points soon to become ugly stubs. I still recall one special joy of childhood: a new box of 64 Crayolas.

They retired burnt umber??? That was my favorite crayon. I don't know why, but I loved that color name when I was a kid. *pouts*

I miss maize. How can you color corn fields without maize?

How come you don't call it 'pop-maize'?

At least they still have cornflower...it's still one of my favorite colors.

Why do you call fields with other grains "corn fields"?

What color is "outer space" (black?)

And I'd be interested in seeing Timber Wolf.

I hated the flesh tone. It made skin look like the fake woodgrain laminate on my mom's coffee table.

Purple Mountain's Majesty makes the mind boggle! These must be US colours - UK ones were never that flamboyant - I think auquamarine was the most exciting one I remember - yes it was a long time ago!

I'm mostly colorblind. You have no idea how screwed up the comics I tried to draw in color ended up being due to that little fact.

I pretty much envy the lot of you who enjoy the differences between the many facets of the spectrum. Everything looks the same as something else to me (red/green, green/brown, blue/purple, green/yellow, green/blue, it's all the same at some point to me).

Your shirt is blue, love.

What color is Beaver?

I'm going to buy some crayons today.

Lol, thank you so much for that site. I saw electric lime and remembered we colored large rolls of paper with that (took many boxes of crayons to get enough of that color) and pasted it around a friends car on her birthday at Uni. Closest thing we could do for her request to have her car painted bright green

Come to think of it we probably had to much to drink when we came up with that idea
