Crayola Retired Colors

It has been raining nonstop today so I decided to pull out my crayon collection from 1993. This box of crayons features colors that were retired in 1990.

@momamo Not sure why... but in 1990 these eight colors were the first ones that retired and placed in their “Hall of Fame.” The eight colors were replaced by eight new new colors. Since then there have been dates for two more color retirements... in 2003 & 2017. You can read about it @ https://www.crayola.com/faq/another-topic/what-are-the-names-of-the-retired-crayon-colors/

@karasoo2 thanks... that is too funny and it made me laugh... I can't imagine they love retirement near as much as I do!!!
