Crayola is launching Colors of the World crayons—24 new crayons designed to represent more than 40 global skin tones across the world.

The crayon packs feature side panels that serve as color references. Each crayon is wrapped in a gradient skin tone label with the color name in English, Spanish and French, and has a realistic color name, such as Light Golden, Deep Almond and Medium Deep Rose, to help kids easily find the shade they identify as their own.

“With the world growing more diverse than ever before, Crayola hopes our new Colors of the World crayons will increase representation and foster a greater sense of belonging and acceptance," says Crayola CEO Rich Wuerthele, in a news release. "We want the new Colors of the World crayons to advance inclusion within creativity and impact how kids express themselves."

Crayola partnered with Victor Casale, formerly Chief Chemist and Managing Director, R&D of MAC cosmetics and Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Cover FX and currently CEO of MOB Beauty.

Together, Casale and Crayola systematically created crayon colors that step down from light to deep shades across rose, almond, and golden undertones, resulting in a 24 global shade palette to reflect the full spectrum of human complexions.

"I have spent my life trying to create truly global shade palettes because I know what it's like to be with a person who has finally found their exact match. They feel included and recognized, and I am hoping every child who uses these crayons and finds their shade will have that feeling," says Casale. "Growing up, I remember mixing the pink and dark brown crayons to try and make my shade, so I was thrilled when Crayola asked for my help to create the Colors of the World crayons."

"Crayola first launched its multicultural product platform in 1992, so we are thrilled about the new Colors of World innovation and the unique partnership with Victor," says Mimi Dixon, Manager Brand Equity and Activation at Crayola. "What intrigued Crayola about Victor was not only his extensive experience in creating shades that capture the natural beauty of every skin tone, but his abiding passion and commitment nurturing inclusion and representation. His expertise, candor and guidance throughout the development process was invaluable and brings an enhanced level of credibility and authenticity to the Colors of the World product."

Crayola Colors of the World crayons come in a 24 and 32-count pack and will begin to hit shelves in July. The 32-count crayon pack, sold exclusively at Walmart and comprised of the 24 new colors plus four hair and four eye color, is available for pre-order today via this link on Walmart.com.
