Most of us have fond memories of the Crayola brand as children. As a matter of fact, according to this article, a Yale University study has determined the scent of Crayola crayons is among the 20 most recognizable to American adults. Although I haven’t colored with crayons in ages, I can still remember exactly what they smell like.

And now thanks to this blog post from Colour Lovers I know the names of all 120 colors and what they look like, the RGB values, and that if I was an average child, I wore down 730 crayons by my 10th birthday. Interesting…

What’s your favorite Crayola color? I’m a big fan of Cerulean…
