Crafting and DIYs have surged this year, thanks to a rise in adult hobbies as people look for soothing ways to fill their free time. Just in time for creative endeavors, the iconic Crayola brand reintroduced a whopping eight colors previously tucked away in retirement. This limited-edition pack boasts an array of bright and fun colors that will liven up your crayon collection. Below, we discuss the colors coming back and where you can find them.

The Colors Coming Out of Retirement

Crayola has never brought a retired crayon color before, even though the company has been around for over 120 years. This is the very first re-release the company is offering, and this is definitely a good reason to hit the craft store.

The colors in the limited-edition pack include:

• Orange Red (1990)
• Violet Blue (1990)
• Lemon Yellow (1990)
• Raw Umber (1990)
• Blizzard Blue (2003)
• Magic Mint (2003)
• Mulberry (2003)
• Dandelion (2017)

The Dandelion color is the most recent retiree, rejoining shelves this year because of its online popularity. Even though it was discontinued within the past decade, you can still find listings of Dandelion Crayola crayons online going for over $20 per crayon.

Where to Find the Limited-Edition Set

The star-studded set of eight retired colors is perfect for reminiscing over colors from the past, with nostalgic hues reaching back more than 30 years. Now, you can buy the eight-pack of retired crayons or a 64-crayon set that includes the eight formerly retired colors. 

The shades are also available in pencil and marker form, both as a set of eight. You can find them at many art or office supply retailers, including Staples, Michaels, and Office Depot.

If you’re curious, Crayola also released a report of what the crayons were up to during retirement. Each crayon has its own persona and name; they’ve been living busy lives while away from the Crayola market.

There’s no telling exactly when Crayola will stop producing its limited-edition set of retired colors, so stock up while you still can.
