EASTON, Pa. (AP) — Dandelion yellow has reason to be blue. Crayola announced Friday, National Crayon Day, that it's replacing the color dandelion in its 24-pack with a crayon in "the blue family." The company says it will leave it to fans to come up with a name for the replacement color. It's only the third time in Crayola's long history that it has retired one or more colors, and the first time it's swapped out a color in its box of 24. Other colors that previously got the boot include maize, raw umber and orange yellow. Crayola crayons were first produced in 1903 by Binney & Smith Co. Crayola is based in Easton, Pennsylvania, and is a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards Inc., headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri.
