All The Pretty Colors…

Don’t you just love crayons?

Back in the school days, there really was no better feeling than opening a brand new box of Crayola crayons and coloring for the first time.  The smell…you know that smell??
Well, I ran across a really interesting chart that I’m fascinated with….

It was 1903 when Crayola released its first box of crayons.  Each box was five cents and came with eight colors;  red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown and black.

In 2010, Crayola sells sets of 150 crayons for about $30.

Weather Sealed has a interesting chart showing the evolution of Crayola colors over the past 107 years.
