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.

Have questions about your Washable Paint Pour Art Set? We have the answers!

For Best Results:

• Protect your clothing and work surface. Paint play can be messy!
• Wet canvases will also need a protected, flat surface for drying.
• Slow and steady when pouring your paint.
• Let your canvas dry for at least 5 minutes before removing it from the tray.
• Use the basic pour technique for a unique outcome each time.
• Use the advanced pour techniques with strainer for amazing patterns.
• Try it with neon, metallic or glitter paints too!

Pro Tips:

• Use the tray handles to tilt and turn the canvas in any direction.
• When the picture is complete, use the handles & tray to carry wet canvas to your drying area.
• Use 3 to 4 colors for the most interesting results; colors will mix and blend to create unexpected new shades.
• Rinse the beaker before adding a new color.

Make sure you have these items before starting your project (not included in your set):

• Water
• Paper Cups
• ½ Tablespoon
• Paper Towels
• Painters Tape

• Need more canvases to keep the fun going? We recommend purchasing thin, 6x6 canvases (that aren't specifically intended for use with acrylic paint) at your local craft store or online at Amazon.
  

Cleanup! Always do the following before storing your set:

• Rinse paint off of the bowl, adapters, tray, strainer, handles, breaker, and pipette.

  • Although we do not recommend removing the nozzles from the ink bottles, dilute the paint with water in a washable paint cup or use a plastic squeeze bottle. Mix the water and paint with a disposable spoon. Use the spoon to drop the paint onto a paper disc to create your masterpieces. Discard any unused diluted paint after use.
