Crayola has been inspiring young artists for over a century with their collections of vibrant crayons. These crayons are used to teach children how to identify colors with their fun names and bright labels. In tribute to a brand that’s been so important to kids since 1903, AAA State of Play created this beautiful infographic displaying every color that Crayola has ever created. There are plenty of discontinued sets like glitter crayons, neon crayons, and even multi-colored crayons, but this chart has captured them all. To help with research, they referenced the collections of Richard Gwynn and the blog “Jenny’s Crayon Collection” to make sure they included every color. All in all, they had to catalogue over 400 crayons. Today, Crayola produces 120 different colors of crayons, excluding any special limited-edition sets. You can buy the full range in a 120-crayon box. But maybe this infographic will inspire viewers to start their own collection and track down some of these colors from days gone by.
