CRAYONS

Mustard yellow, Forest green and midnight blue; all prodcuts of crayons. I think it is really interesting how people make up the names for each one of these different shades of color. Most of the time the crayon is linked back to an object that people can look at and relate to. Not to many colors are added to crayons every year. Most of the new names are rediculous. For example "inch worm" was added in 2003. When i think of inch worms i personally don't think of the color, green, when I hear the word inch worm. I tend to think of the action of an inch worm. So I think that was a bad choice. All in all it is still fun to see if new colors come out and what interesting names they are given.
