The world has spoken about their favorite colors and Crayola is packaging up the results of a global vote into a new box of crayons.
For the first time in its history, the world’s largest crayon maker conducted a “global color vote” over the summer in which Crayola asked 63,000 consumers from 183 countries about their favorite crayon hues from a lineup of 148 Crayola colors.
The results were as follows:
USA: Cerulean, Robin’s Egg Blue, Wisteria
Canada: Cerulean, Robin’s Egg Blue, Wild Strawberry
UK: Cerulean, Wisteria, Wild Strawberry
Mexico: Lavender, Turquoise Blue, Wisteria
Italy: Sky Blue, Yellow, Violet
Philippines: Blue, Red, Yellow
Spain: Lavender, Fuchsia, Robin’s Egg Blue
Australia: Cerulean, Wisteria, Violet
Crayola said it is launching an exclusive collection of the “My Favorite Colors” crayons, markers and colored pencil packs, activity kits and other products (based on the voting results) in November.
“This year Crayola is celebrating creativity through color and the deeply personal role it plays in connecting us to the past and inspiring us anew,” Crayola chief marketing officer, Victoria Lozano, said in a statement. “Color is integral to who we are and how we see the world. It has the power to connect us across cultures, generations, and emotions.”
