Timeline of Crayola: 1987 - present edit

  • 1987: Crayola introduces washable markers. Crayola colored pencils also arrive. They also add their 1-800-CRAYOLA toll-free number to all packaging.
  • 1990: Eight Crayola crayon colors– Maize, Raw Umber, Lemon Yellow, Blue Gray, Orange Yellow, Orange Red, Green Blue and Violet Blue– are retired into the Crayola Hall of Fame in Easton, Pennsylvania. Emerson Moser, then Crayola's most senior crayon moulder, also retired after 37 years. After moulding approximately 1.4 billion crayons, he revealed that he is actually color blind. There are replaced colors for the 8 retired colors; Cerulean, Dandelion, Electric Lime, Fuchsia, Jungle Green, Magic Mint, a retired color of 2003, Neon Carrot, Purple Pizzazz, Radical Red, Razzle Dazzle Rose, Royal Purple, Sunglow, Teal Blue, a retired color of 2003, Unmellow Yellow, and Wild Strawberry. Crayola introduces Silver Swirls.
  • 1991: Binney & Smith offers the eight retired Crayola crayon shades, along with a 64-box, in the Crayola Collector's Colors Tin for a limited time. Crayola Washable crayons are introduced.
  • 1992: Crayola introduces Model Magic, a modeling compound, into its long line of products.
  • 1993: Binney & Smith celebrates the Crayola brand's 90th birthday with its biggest crayon box ever– it holds 96 crayons, including 16 new colors. For the first time, the company asks consumers to name the colors through the Crayola Name the New Colors Contest. The colors' names were Asparagus, Cerise, Denim, Granny Smith Apple, Macaroni and Cheese, Pacific Blue, Purple Mountain's Majesty, Razzmatazz, Robin's Egg Blue, Shamrock, Tickle Me Pink, Timberwolf, Tropical Rain Forest, Mauvelous, Tumbleweed and Wisteria.
  • 1993: Color Wonder products debuted. Hot Fluorescent crayon boxes (8 and 16) are renamed Neons.
  • 1994: Crayola introduces a scented version of crayons called Magic Scents Crayons and Gem Tones.
  • 1995: Crayola introduces Changeables.
  • 1996:
    • The 100 billionth Crayola crayon rolls off the production line in Easton, and Mister Rogers is made famous for the 100 billionth Crayola crayon.
    • On July 16, Binney & Smith celebrates the grand opening of The Crayola Factory visitors' center in Easton with the Crayola ColorJam parade.

  • 1999: For the third time in Crayola history a crayon is renamed because of social concerns. Indian red becomes "chestnut" because teachers reported that schoolchildren often wrongly perceived the color to the be skin color of Native Americans. The name in fact did not refer to Native Americans, but to a pigment produced in India and used in oil paints. Crayola introduces Crayons with Glitter.
