When are colors truly retired? 

Crayola is bringing back 8 retired colors for their first release of 2025. The eight colors are Dandelion which was retired with much fanfare in 2017, Blizzard Blue, Magic Mint, Mulberry, Orange Red, Violet Blue, Lemon Yellow and Raw Umber. The new packages should be released by the end of February.

Been a while, found some new Crayola items exclusive to Target. One is the Limited-Edition Crayon Pack. It contains 16 regular crayons included the 8 previously retired colors. 10 Twistable crayons and 20 coloring pages.  2 others are the Limited-Edition Coloring & Sticker Activity Sets. Each contains 4 of the previously retired colors and 4 primary colors. Also included are 32 coloring pages and a sheet of stickers featuring the 4 retired colors.  Also new are 4 Limited-Edition Art Kits in Dan D Dandelion, Blizz Blizzard Blue, Mully Mulberry and Angie Orange Red. Each contains 8 retired crayons, 4 neon crayons, 8 regular crayons, 20 pip-squeaks Skinnies markers, 20 coloring sheets and a sticker sheet. Except for the retired colors in each set, I have not verified the other colors of crayons. There was also a number of other items included in this series, pencil cases, storage totes and coloring sets with colored pencils and markers.   
In addition to the 8 pack of the release of 8 retired crayons I posted about a few weeks ago, Crayola is also going to release a 64 pack with the 8 retired crayons. When I was notified about the retired crayons, the anticipated release date was February 14th. That didn't happen and there have been no new updates since the original announcement. They have also give names to the 8 crayons, they can be found on the back of both the 8 and 64 packs of crayons.
