For the First Time in History, Crayola is Bringing Back These 8 Retired Colors. Here's How to Get Your Hands on Them
Crayola is making colorful history!
For the first time in the company's more than 120-year history, the brand is bringing back eight previously retired colors.
Dandelion, Blizzard Blue, Magic Mint, Mulberry, Orange Red, Violet Blue, Lemon Yellow and Raw Umber will be hitting shelves for the first time — in some cases — in 35 years.
'As a first in the history of Crayola, we could not be more excited to bring back this beloved Limited Edition color collection that will give kids even more opportunities to colorfully put their imagination into action,' Victoria Lozano, Crayola's chief marketing officer, said in a release shared with PEOPLE.

And while for everyday colorers, these shades might appear as "just" yellow or blue or green, for devoted fans like @_lakenzo_ — a TikToker with more than 1 million followers, who began collecting Dandelion following its discontinuation in 2017 — the return of such shades is sure to make waves.
In one of her videos that has more than 36 million views, @_lakenzo_ shows off a display she has of all things Dandelion, including keychains, stuffed animals and other trinkets. Because the color was her favorite growing up, she's been collecting ever since the brand took it off shelves.
To add to her display, she even melted down a few broken pieces of her beloved crayons and poured them into letter molds to spell out the word "Dandelion."

Dandelion will be available throughout 2025 alongside its seven other formerly retired shades in a Limited Edition Retired Colors 8-Count Crayon Pack. The shades will also be available in a limited edition colored pencil pack and marker pack.
