Which Crayola color, retired in 2017, was reintroduced in 2026?
Answer
Dandelion
Answer
Dandelion
Dandelion was the Crayola color retired in 2017 and reintroduced in 2026.
Crayola announced Dandelion’s retirement on March 31, 2017. The company planned to replace it with a new blue crayon, and a public vote selected the name Bluetiful. Bluetiful began appearing in boxes in early 2018.
Dandelion had been part of Crayola’s regular lineup for decades. Its retirement was notable because Crayola has occasionally removed colors while also preserving a long-running historical record of its changing palette.
This question can cause confusion because Indian Red was renamed Chestnut in 1999, while several older colors were retired in the 20th century. Those were separate naming or retirement decisions. Dandelion is the color associated with the 2017 retirement and the 2026 return.
