Crayola Keeps Colorful Traditions Amid Change
Crayola continues evolving to wow kids with bold shades and new ideas while preserving its historic name. Key moments include 1958’s 64 color box and color-name changes like flesh to peach and Indian red to chestnut. The firm grows with The Crayola Factory, opened in 1996, drawing 2.5 million visitors, and plans to retire four more shades this year.
