On March 31st, 2017, National Crayon Day, Crayola is going to do something quite unexpected. Yes, the company has decided to kill of one color from their 24 crayons pack. I have no idea why yet. So, I am wondering what color it will be. Some people are saying that they will get rid of the color "skin". It wouldn't surprised me at all. What is your bet on this? Would love to know.

prob to replace it with something else. And I would think that one, not being everyone's skin color, should prob go, I can see though, a Skin pack, with ALL kinds of skin shades in it!

A skin pack is not a bad idea.

@marlina as a kid I would have loved that, I hated using black or white for skins, because I knew no one who was those exact colors, now I have met a few now who are, but it's so rare!

The only time I cared about crayons is when I was in college, because the Crayola Crayon factory was right in the downtown portion of the city there. It was interesting to see how they make them. It's fairly straight forward.

I always loved crayons. My nieces and I did a lot of coloring when they were young. And later on, my 2 sons and I did even more coloring and drawing with Crayola crayons. Those crayons have always been in my life.

@marlina It's an easy drawing tool to use and to be creative with. And even if they melted they were still perfectly usable. It's nice to have something good for kids to play with.

I would love for them to keep all the colors and maybe add a few more. I think that white might be the color they would eliminate.

@marlina you know, it's funny the same thought popped in my head. I guess they will just have to leave them the cfolor of the paper.

Crayola removed the color "dandelion" and replaced it with a blue color.

I've not heard about this, but then I don't watch the news on TV or online. I would have no clue on which color it might be. While that particular color could be a good choice, since not everyone has the same skin color I've not looked a any package of crayons in so long that I'd have no clue of any others they may eliminate. Did you mean to say they were going to kill one color? You said kiff.

I'm thinking white too, but I think they shouldn't lose any of the colors. I wonder why they are doing that?

I have read that they remove one color but they introduce a new one. I think they will remove the one called "flesh".
