To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Crayola 64 Box of Crayons, the crayon manufacturer went to poll the kids to create new names for 8 colors.

Suffice to say, I continue to fear for today’s youth.

Here’s the list of new colors, with the old names parenthetically notated.

  • Awesome (Wild Watermelon)
  • Super Happy (Laser Lemon)
  • Fun in the Sun (Wild Tangerine)
  • Giving Tree (Screamin' Green)
  • Bear Hug (Beaver)
  • Happy Ever After (Turquoise Blue)
  • Famous (Hot Magenta)
  • Best Friends (Orchid)
Famous? BEST FRIENDS? These are considered color descriptions?  I long for the days of red-orange.
