history: Colors are a lot of fun. My favorite to use in art is green. Nice, did you know that on the visible spectrum Green is the color located between blue and yellow? Yep! And colors are really interesting with how you can mix them to make new colors. Have you ever used Crayola drawing crayons? Those were introduced in 1903 by Binney & Smith I loved to use those. I never thought about how old their company must be until now. And another interesting fact is: The black Staonal Marking Crayon was the first crayon they produced, in 1902 Strange name, but it makes sense that they would start with the darkest color. It probably has the most applications.
knowledge: Originally an industrial pigment supply company, Crayola soon shifted its focus to art products for home and school use, beginning with chalk, then crayons, followed later by colored pencils, markers, paints, modeling clay, and other related goods.
