List of Crayola colored pencil colors

Last updated

Crayola manufactures several different types of colored pencils. The most popular one is the standard sharpenable wood-shafted pencil, which also offers the widest range of available colors. A smaller and slightly different range of colors is available in mechanical pencil format as part of their "Twistables" product line.

Crayola American art supply manufacturer

Crayola LLC, formerly Binney & Smith, is an American handicraft company, specializing in artists' supplies. It is known for its brand Crayola and best known for its crayons. The company is based in Forks Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, USA. Since 1984, it has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards. Originally an industrial pigment supply company, Crayola soon shifted its focus to art products for home and school use, beginning with chalk, then crayons, followed later by colored pencils, markers, paints, modeling clay, and other related goods. All Crayola-branded products are marketed as nontoxic and safe for use by children. Most Crayola crayons are manufactured in the United States.

Mechanical pencil

A mechanical pencil or propelling pencil, also clutch pencil, is a pencil with a replaceable and mechanically extendable solid pigment core called a "lead". The lead, often made of graphite, is not bonded to the outer casing, and can be mechanically extended as its point is worn away as it is being used. Other names include microtip pencil, automatic pencil, drafting pencil, technical pencil, click pencil, pump pen, pump pencil, leadholder, pen pencil, and lead pencil.

Both formats have a certain subset of "Erasable" colors. Although the default colored pencils are not completely indelible, their markings have a slightly waxy texture that tends to smear and thin out rather than truly erasing.

Crayola also produces several other specialty colored pencils.

Standard pencils

Wooden pencils that can be sharpened.

Color Characteristic of human visual perception

Color, or colour, is the characteristic of human visual perception described through color categories, with names such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple. This perception of color derives from the stimulation of cone cells in the human eye by electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum. Color categories and physical specifications of color are associated with objects through the wavelength of the light that is reflected from them. This reflection is governed by the object's physical properties such as light absorption, emission spectra, etc.

The year of the introduction of the 12, 24, 36, 50, 60, and 100 packs of colored pencils is unknown.

The newest 100 pack has 100 different colors, except underlined colors are NOT in the "100 Different Colors" pack. Boxes with 100 unique colors are labeled "Crayola Colored Pencils 100 Different Colors!".

100 packs produced prior to summer 2017 had the 60 pack colors with 40 colors doubled. These boxes are labeled "Crayola Colored Pencils The Big 100 Sharpened" [8] [ citation needed ]

There is a special UK version of the 50 pack where Gold and Silver are swapped with Lilac and Warm Gray. It is sold in Tesco stores across the country.

Tesco plc trading as Tesco, is a British multinational groceries and general merchandise retailer with headquarters in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom. It is the third-largest retailer in the world measured by gross revenues and ninth-largest retailer in the world measured by revenues. It has shops in seven countries across Asia and Europe, and is the market leader of groceries in the UK, Ireland, Hungary and Thailand.

Twistables

Crayola also manufactures mechanical pencils with colored leads as part of its "Twistables" line, which also includes crayons and markers with a similar screw-based mechanical feed. Crayola does not currently offer refill cores for any of its Twistables products, so the pencils are intended to be discarded when empty. The external packaging of each set shows color swatches labeled by name, but the color names are not imprinted on the individual pencils themselves. They are available in 12, [14] (vibrant set) 18, [15] and 30 [16] packs, an erasable 12 pack [17] and a Silly Scents 12 pack. [18] The 12 pack was released in 1998, the 18 pack was released in 2008, and the 30 pack was released in 2009.

The 30 pack contains 11 of the colors in the standard 12 pack; sky-blue is not included. It also contains all of colors of the 18 pack (vibrant set) with the exception of the three fluorescent colors (the 18 set has four colors from the 12 pack). The remaining eight colors (there are six colors that are in both sets) are unique to the 30 pack.

Some of the Twistables pencil color names do not appear among the standard colored pencils as shown above. The colors are blue-violet, green-yellow, apricot, asparagus, carnation pink, and wisteria.

All color values are approximate.

The "Vibrant Set" 18-pack that released in 2008 has relatively little duplication of the basic 12-pack colors; The colors from the 12 pack are italicized:

There is also a 12-pack [17] of "Erasable Twistables" pencils, which lists the same twelve colors as the standard "Twistables" pencils. These pencils are formulated to be easily erasable with the eraser provided at the end of each pencil, as they do not contain wax which would normally smear and thin out the markings instead of being fully erased. The 36-pack has the following colors: Mahogany, Maroon, Red, Red Orange, Orange, Yellow Orange, Golden Yellow, Yellow, Lime Green, Yellow Green, Jade Green, Green, Teal, Aqua Green, Turquoise, Sky Blue, Cerulean, Blue, Navy Blue, Light Blue, Violet, Orchid, Magenta, Pink, Salmon, Mauve, Peach, Harvest Gold, Tan, Taupe, Light Brown, Brown, White, Slate, Gray, and Black.

Multicolor Pencils

"True to Life" pencils are limited to eight colors (or rather, eight color titles such as "Maui Sunset" and "Amazon Rainforest"), in which each pencil has a single tricolor lead. As the color titles are identical to those of the "True to Life" tricolored crayons, their color range is presumably similar or identical.

Similarly, the 8-pack of double-sided "Heads 'n Tails" pencils, in which the two sides of each pencil have two different tints or shades of the same hue, should resemble the color range of the corresponding crayons.

Watercolor Pencils

Crayola's watercolor pencils come in a 12-pack [22] and 24-pack. [23] These can be used in the same way as a standard colored pencil without water or painted with similarly to watercolor painting when water is applied. These packs contain the same colors as the standard 12-pack and 24-pack.

Color Sticks

Crayola produces woodless colored pencils in a 24-pack. [24] These colored pencils are a pentagonal shape, allowing them to be used at many different angles to draw different widths of lines. They are thicker and made entirely of solid color. This pack contains the same colors as the standard 24-pack.
