DescriptionCrayola Crayons Retiring Four Colors

EASTON, Pa. -- Get ready to say hello and good-bye to Crayola crayon colors.

The company plans to add four new colors to its collection and retire four others at its 100th birthday celebration next month.

Crayon fans voted in an online campaign to spare one of five colors -- Burnt Sienna, Teal Blue, Blizzard Blue, Mulberry and Magic Mint -- that the company had selected to be eliminated. A spokeswoman says Crayola officials chose five colors that they considered redundant or unattractive on paper.

The winning color of the "Save the Shade" campaign will be announced at a party on Oct. 11. The company plans to unveil the new Crayola colors, and also the world's largest crayon.

Crayola retired eight colors in 1990.
