DID CRAYOLA JUST MAKE THE BEST SKIN TONE SET?! | Markers, Pencils, and Crayons!

[@AlexisMitchell87]

I just bought these. My three year old gets frustrated when trying to color pictures of himself because he can’t find his shade. He was excited to swatch all the colors and found a perfect match in “light golden”. He put it in his “special box”. I noticed the crayons break *easily* . I reenforced the unbroken ones after several snapped.

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

That's adorable. I never understood how they could have such a wide range of crayons but none that actually matched actual skin shades. I hope every kid can find their skin shade in these, or may be able to at least blend some together to create it.

[@AlexisMitchell87]

@@hawkeyescoffee6399 It’s strange it took so long considering crayons have been around since Ancient Greece, and markers, and colored pencils about 100 years. It’ll be interesting to see which products expand their definition of “skin tone” next.

It is kinda cool that kids now can choose how to best color themselves. When I was a kid we either got peach or brown for our “skin colors”, or you mixed them to get a certain color if you had the time (which no one did)

Same. Or I just had to color SO EXTREMELY LIGHTLY with either peach, orange, or maybe even brown (or maybe I would layer them to mix the “perfect” color) that you could barely see it, and if I accidentally colored slightly to dark in one area I would be just kind of disappointed and upset with myself and try and fix it (but I probably just made it worse lol). And I have red hair (but like this really weird shade and like 2 strands of my hair might look like they’re from 2 completely different people’s heads lol) so I would mix like the yellow and the red and the orange and the brown and everything to try and make my hair color because no matter what it just isn’t right. I STILL can’t ever get my hair color (even in digital art where I literally can make like almost any color possible)!

Definitely a step up from some 9ld discontinued colors like "Indian Red" (which was about as accurate of a skin tone as blackface). To their credit, they don't hide the fact that they made mistakes with that kind of thing in the past. It's part of their discontinued colors exhibit at their museum with historical context and why it was removed

[@roobusmcscroobus]

Fun Fact: The reason that Indian Red wasn't an accurate skin tone for Indians nor Native Americans was because it wasn't made to be a skin tone at all! Rather, it was made to show how important the color red is to Indian culture, but it was often misinterpreted by children due to the name and time period it was released during. I'm glad they changed it to Chestnut, though.

[@ablancer3582]

Cool! I didn’t know that Crayola’s museum had an exhibit on discontinued colors, let alone Crayola having a museum at all! I like companies that embrace their past mistakes instead of trying to hide them like it never happened (Disney)

[@mistythemushroom7990]

The thing is that we only had brown and light colors so if you were in between you would have to layer it and it would take a while. So this is great!

[@creativeponyproductions]

Crayons are not just for five year olds. Yet you can use wax pastels if you prefer as those are the type of crayons for pros. Yet if not used right it can look bad also they have a tendency to snap. It is rather akin to colored pencils. I mainly use markers and I favor a black outline. People tell my style either looks like stained glass, or the Power Puff Girls. Somebody said one of my abstract pieces reminded them of the artwork on the album cover of Yellow Submarine. The black outline was originally just me taking the easy way around things, but I have worked without it so I can say that is a stylized choice.

Practice, and with light.. even.. layering. If you put down too much color, it will fill the papers tooth too much, and you wont be able too add the 2nd or 3rd colors on top. Leave some intentional white showing through on the first layer, which allows the next color to fill those areas in a bit more... and then some final heavier pressure, will help blend them together. Its no nearly as hard as you think.

As a former child Crayola is literally the best crayon we were able to afford. Nothing ever came close. If it wasn't for crayola my creativity would probably never have blossomed the way it did. So glad they giving today's children the better experience.

This is awesome! I recently picked up my 4 y/o from school, and she was upset because her coloring assignment said to use "skin tones." They were given a set of 8 crayons, and not a single one was dark gold/Brown. So, being African American, my daughter went in the box for the brown, but her teacher made her feel dumb and excluded because they were only supposed to use colors like peach and apricot aka "skin tones.' When I spoke to her teacher I was told that my daughter didn't understand the assignment. No miss Ranchard, YOU don't understand the assignment
