We may be biased, but crayon colors back in the day hit differently. Now, Crayola is introducing a new generation of kids to some of the most iconic crayon colors they’ve never seen before.
Crayola is bringing back eight retired colors for a limited time, including Dandelion, which was retired in 2017; Blizzard Blue, Magic Mint, and Mulberry, which were all retired in 2003; and Orange Red, Violet Blue, Lemon Yellow, and Raw Umber, which were retired in 1990.

These eight colors will be available in 8-count boxes of crayons, colored pencils, and markers, so every kind of artist can enjoy the revival. The colors will also make an appearance in licensed collaborations with Crayola’s licensing partners, including Lee, Caboodles, S’well, and more.
Official dates for these collaborations have yet to be announced, but kids and adults alike will be too busy coloring with these iconic crayons from the past to notice. The crayons themselves will be available soon at major retailers.
