In 1958 the box of 64 CRAYOLA Crayons was introduced. It was the first package to include a built-in sharpener design. We continue to manufacture this package design today in the 64 and 96 count Crayola Crayon package.

At this time, we are not offering an option to purchase Crayola® Oil Pastels in individual colors.

However,you may be interested in the Crayola Portfolio® Series Oil Pastels Classpack® or the Crayola Oil Pastel Classpack. A Classpack is typically popular among teachers. It is a large box that is divided into sections. In each of the sections you will find a stack of the same color.

The Portfolio Series Oil Pastels Classpack (300 count total) contains 12 assorted colors, 25 of each color. The Crayola Oil Pastel Classpack (336 count total) contains a total of 12 colors, 24 each of 10 colors and 48 each of black and white.

Classpacks are generally sold through educational suppliers. You are welcome to contact any of the suppliers below or learn more here.

We currently use 12 different colored labels for CRAYOLA Crayons. The labels are purchased through an outside vendor and made of either vat dyed construction paper or printed paper and reforested wood. We manufacture more than 120 different Crayola Crayon colors, however, we do not have a crayon label to match each of these colors.

Throughout Crayola's history, several crayon colors have been retired, marking significant moments in the evolution of our vibrant palette.  

1990
For the first time in Crayola history eight colors were retired and placed in the Crayola Hall of Fame: blue gray, green blue, lemon yellow, maize, orange red, orange yellow, raw umber, and violet blue.  

Eight new colors were added: cerulean, dandelion, fuchsia, jungle green, royal purple, teal blue, vivid tangerine, and wild strawberry.

2003  
Celebrating a century of bringing color to the world, Crayola introduced four new colors named by Crayola fans! To make room for the new hues, we bid farewell to blizzard blue, magic mint, mulberry, and teal blue.  

The four new colors that were introduced are: inchworm, jazzberry jam, mango tango, and wild blue yonder.

Kudos to our hue heroes – the consumers who voted in the "Save the Shade" campaign, ensuring burnt sienna stayed in the pack.  

2017  
To mark National Crayon Day on March 31st, we announced Dandelion was leaving the pack. To honor this iconic color, we sent Dandelion on a retirement tour to his favorite places. His replacement, Bluetiful, was announced on May 5, 2017.
