Which Crayola color did consumers vote to save from retirement in 2003?
Crayola, which began making wax crayons in 1903, manufacturing 120 crayon colors, not including specialty colors. The company periodically updates its color palates and color names, reflecting changes in color trends and culture.
It was not until 1990 that Crayola decided to retire eight colors, maize, lemon yellow, blue gray, raw umber, green blue, orange red, orange yellow, and violet blue. Eight new colors were added: vivid tangerine, jungle green, cerulean, fuchsia, dandelion, teal blue, royal purple, and wild strawberry.
Then in 2003 and as part of Crayola's centennial celebration, the colors blizzard blue, magic mint, mulberry, and teal blue were retired. Four new colors were introduced for the next century: inchworm, mango tango, wild blue yonder, and jazzberry jam. That same year, Consumers voted to "Save the Shade" and saved burnt sienna from retirement.
