Here's a chart of all of the colors. These will be a little subjective and sometimes the shade on the book is different than the photo so don't stress too much over how perfect it is. It should be pretty darn close though. Also, the color just has to be on the cover, even if it's only present in small amounts.

Also, I think this was a 48 pack from back in the day. today's colors are probably different, but I didn't have crayons with me when I set this up. I used the Crayola site instead.

I should have probably alphabetized that list. Oops.

you are sooo funny Heather :) I don't think I'll ever find all those

My stupid book is Aquamarine. I should have gone with the 64 pack.

I adore you

Fixed. I'm not alphabetizing anything else though. I forgot Orange and had to go through and renumber every thing all over again.

I think I'm going to just go out and buy a box of crayons and hold my books up to them. =)


Why do they always have to retire my favorite colors?

haha just checked out the colour chart. Who knew there could be so many shades of pink??

I keep forgetting to check my books. I'm sending my husband to buy crayons now.

LOL Heather ur hilarious

So, I got my box of crayons and they're different form what the web site says. I'm going to change my colors to the box so it's easier for me. Starzee, don't worry, you can keep your colors the same.

Yeah I think it would be easier if I kept to the colours I have. Mind you, haven't been reading much. I've been concentrating on my writing at the moment.

No problem. I just found it easier for me to have the colors in front of me. Although, most are the same colors with different names. At least, that's what it looks like.
There's a lot of ugly colors in a box of 48. I guess they're trying to add multiple options for skin tones, but I never draw people so I don't use apricot, peach, mahogany, tan... I tend to only use blues, greens and purples, but that's because they're my favorites.

Okay I need someone to specify for me: Am I going by the background colour, or if a persons face takes up 90% of the cover do I determine the book cover colour to be the colour of the persons face or do I go by the tiny bit of background colour?

e.g:

What colours would these be?

The color just has to be enough that it's visible in the tiny picture. So you could use black, whatever shade of green, the bluish background or the faces. It just depends on how hard you want to make it on yourself.

When did the box of crayons become filled with browns? Where did teal and all the bright colors go? I think they're just trying to get more skin tones included, but I do miss teal.

I'm struggling with this lol. I need the colours in front of me to compare the books to =(

You all laughed at me, but that's why I went and bought a box of crayons to put in front of my computer.

LOL yes, well now I see the joke's on me =D Maybe I'll run out to buy a box haha

I keep forgetting to update this one so I went through my "read" list and spent a lot of time coloring on little scraps of paper and holding the pieces up to the screen. It would have been humorous if someone had been there to watch me.

Lol. Hey, whatever works. I haven't been able to update this at all. But I'll try soon

Who would have thought that brown and green's are the hardest?

haha I just had to laugh at at the macaroni & cheese one. They are getting creative with the names I see lol.

Kids don't get the fancy names so they've simplified everything and then made some kid friendly.

Lol, I don't know why they bother. All kids care about is being able to use them, not identify them by colour name. Hell, I'm 21 and I care more about using them than identifying that exact shade of pink or yellow.

Ya, I know. Apparently teachers were the ones who cared and wrote in to have some of the names changed.

I will figure these out later
