Crayola Plans to Add Four Crayon Colors, Retire Four Others

I only recognize Burnt Sienna from when I was a kid. I take it the others were added much more recently?

Crayola plans to retire four colors from its crayon box and add four new ones at the company's 100th birthday celebration next month. Crayon fans voted in an online campaign to spare one of five colors -- Burnt Sienna, Teal Blue, Blizzard Blue, Mulberry and Magic Mint -- that the company had selected to be eliminated from its 120-color stable. The winning color will be announced at Crayola's Oct. 11 birthday party.

The company plans to unveil the new Crayola colors after a parade, titled "Discover the Color of Crayola." It will be just the second time Crayola has retired colors; the crayon maker discontinued eight colors in 1990, including more controversial colors such as "Putrid Suicide Green," "Bullet Wound Purple," "Ultraconservative Kentucky Homophobe Pink," "Inbred Hillbillie Piss Yellow," "East Texan Meat-Gut Morbidly Obese Varicose Vein Blue," "Gushing Painful Totally Bitchy Don't You Freakin' Touch Me You Freakin' Jerk Menstrual Period Fusia," and "Tongue."

LOL I guess they're keeping Pot Brown and Velveeta orange?

And what color is 'Flesh' these days?

"Flesh" is now "Peach," SP. They changed that quite a few years ago.

Uh-oh.
Crayons not only taste bad, but now they have bad taste.

Are they going to make the colors that only bees can see available for us to see them now?

That is priceless CodeBorg!!!!
