Crayola Crayons were first introduced in 1904

Crayola is a well-known brand of crayons and other writing and drawing utensils, such as markers, chalk, and colored pencils manufactured by Binney & Smith Inc.

It is primarily popular in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

In 1994, Crayola introduced a scented version of crayons called Magic Scents Crayons.

Renamed colors

  • Flesh (1949) renamed Peach (1962), partially as a result of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement.
  • Indian Red (1958) renamed Chestnut (1999), in response to educators who felt some children wrongly perceived the crayon color was intended to represent the skin color of Native Americans. The name originated from a reddish-brown pigment found near India commonly used in fine artist oil paint.
