Welcome to the Retired Crayola colors posts. Did you know there are over 500 Crayola retired color names? There are a few ways a color is "retired" at Crayola. The actual color is retired or the the color name is changed. Either way the colors can be rare and highly collectible.

How does Crayola retire colors?
A brand NEW COLOR can be added or removed from the crayon line up. For example Bluetiful was added to the line up and Dandelion was removed August 2017. Bluetiful was a newly discovered color. There is a middle ground where Crayola adds a smell or glitter to the color. Is this a new color or an existing color with an additive? For the purpose of classification I am treating these additive colors as new colors because their behavior on the paper is different.
How does Crayola retire color names?
Crayola changes the name of colors either temporarily or permanently:
- Crayola permanently changes the name of a crayon for a contest or other reason.
- Crayola temporarily changes the name of existing color for a; promo, brand, commemorative set, contest or themed box.

Retired Colors
It can be hard to distinguish unique colors during Crayola's early days. Crayola went through many different box types and colors before they streamlined into their current color spectrum. Some colors appeared to be the same, but were named differently For the purposes of this list I am not going to guess what colors were the same or different. I will list the color name and when it was retired. Here is a swatch page of the retired colors. Click here to get it.
Some of these retired books can be found in the following boxes: Rubens, Munsell, 64 Count and 12 Count Crayola Gold Medal School Crayons.
