Crayola Retired True Colors Part 1: Swatches and Rare Colors

Do you want to see all the swatches of all the retired colors I have from Crayola on YouTube? Join me as I swatch the colors in a beautiful color chart. Some of the crayon colors are super rare and some are not so rare, ahem Dandelion.

I received the Rubens 24 Crayola Artists Crayons, 64 crayons, and 48 crayons from John Corb. Thank you so much! It is so fun to have a piece of Crayola history.

Thanks! I always enjoy seeing these swatches. They seem to love retiring yellows. That first big retirement wave got orange yellow, maize, and lemon yellow in one fell swoop, and then the sole yellow which took their place -- dandelion -- is now retired as well. It's too bad because yellow's my favorite color.

To put the cherry on top bluetiful doesn't even seem to be that different from denim, despite the hype behind it -- if bluetiful just had to go in the 24 box why not retire denim instead and put dandelion in its place in the larger box? If only orange yellow (a nice yellow) and orange red (I like my reds too) were still in those would be my favorites in the box.

my package with the 8 retired collectors colors came, I’m gonna go for either thistle or mulberry

I really like the medium and middle colours they are really vibrant even the other bright reds and and purples, but I gotta say the Medium orange is my least favourite as it seems more dull than the other medium colours.

Just if u don’t know Gamboge Yellow is one of the most rarest crayons in crayola history.

It blows my mind how well those older crayons lay down. They seem to go down so much smoothly, almost like oil pastels or gel crayons. If I hadn't seen you swatch them and just saw the swatches, I'd swear they were done by some good quality soft-core colored pencils, like Prismacolor Premiers.

I really wish they hadn't retired some of these colors or changed the formula.

Say by the way jennys collection i want to say is i really miss dandelion cause its my favorite #1 crayon color cause its a rare color and hard to find in eBay and i also felt bad for dandelion cause crayola already had enough blues in the 24 pack and i dont think we had enough yellows for sunshine i think sorry if my text is little long 😞

Praise Tomiko Itooka for having all crayon colors!

[sunnyquinn]

So paper with more tooth is best for crayons, right? I usually use smooth, less toothy paper for markers, but that doesn't work well for many other mediums.

Hello I have what I believe to be a super rare crayon whistle. Dandelion connected at the tip instead of the back. I know a little bit about it. Please let me know if you'd be interested in it. Or have any input. Thankyou

They should bring back English vermillion

[owghhce]

Hi Jenny! I'm trying to divide a color wheel by the warm & cool sides right now, in your opinion i should include Red-Violet on the warm side and Yellow-Green on the cool side? Or vice-versa?
I'm sorry I just can't decide myself

[JoseMejia-ufik]

Jenny I have a question. Were you trying to save one of the colors in 2003?

[moriturama]

didn't really see the point of retiring magic mint, mulberry and blizzard blue to replace them with boring similar colours

[joymiller]

They are named after the pigments used just like professional paints and art products

Can you make a new wrapper offline theme

[calyxuniverse]

I wish crayola will bring it back does colours

[Dogday]

Whas prussian blue retired or just renamed midnight blue

[qorymij]

I'm mad that the colored pencils and markers have the pink label, but the crayon has to live with _carnation_ pink. Crayola has given retired color names to new crayon colors, so why not pink? It's been 107 years!

[aroman]

Why does Crayola decide to retire all those pretty colors? Cerulean blue is on Crayola's colored pencils.

I have a retired crayon in my 96 dandelion
