List of core crayon colors

As the size of Crayola crayon packs increased, the variety of colors available also increased—reaching 120 colors in production by 1998. Since 1998, new colors have been added, but always replacing existing colors. In all, 50 colors have been retired, bringing the total number of regular colors produced to 170.

According to Crayola, they currently manufacture 120 standard crayon colors, which are all included in the regular 120-count box. This does not include specialty crayons like the Metallic FX, Gel FX and the glitter crayons, but does include fluorescent crayons.

See Original 8 Pack (1903) and Original Crayola Colors (1903-1910) for a select list of the first released crayons.
