Crayola colors 1903 to 2010

I find the topic of color dictionaries fascinating. I compiled some information while working on an app here: <a href="http://colordictionary.info" rel="nofollow">http://colordictionary.info</a> and made my color dictionary data available for download as a Ruby hash here: <a href="http://colordictionary.heroku.com/data.rb" rel="nofollow">http://colordictionary.heroku.com/data.rb</a>

Here's some more information on the origin of the picture - <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/pictureshow/2010/01/crayons_and_choice_a_headache.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/blogs/pictureshow/2010/01/crayons_and_cho...</a>

I was talking with someone the other day about web design and caught myself saying something about "the flesh color". Thanks, Crayola. (<a href="http://contexts.org/socimages/files/2008/08/flesh-4.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://contexts.org/socimages/files/2008/08/flesh-4.jpg</a>)

I remember a moronic high school English teacher that didn't know what "umber" was and marking me down on a paper ... "burnt umber" of course being a Crayola color...

Cute, but I'd love it an order of magnitude more if it labelled them.<p>(I wonder why some of the colours were terminated....)

I wonder what they have against real dark brown and real light blue? Ah, I see a second shade of blue they discontinued. Probably needed the names for some other shades...

Inflation. ;)
