Color us sad: Crayola is retiring the dandelion crayon. by Aaron Smith @AaronSmithCNN March 31, 2017: 11:04 AM ET. The hottest news of the week broke a day early: Crayola is retiring the yellowish dandelion crayon from its rainbow of colors.
In some of the earliest Crayola assortments, they only printed the color name on the box and used a numbering system on the crayon wrapper to tell you which color it was. For color collecting purists, that is not the same as seeing the color name right there on the wrapper. But Crayola's color history is full of obscure and rare colors. Gamboge Yellow was only available in a hex style crayon and didn't appear in a lot of assortment sizes so it isn't that easy to find.
