As the size of Crayola crayon packs increased from the original 1903 crayon packs, the variety of colors available has also increased—reaching 120 colors by 1998. Since 1998, new colors have been added, but always replacing existing colors. On March 31, 2017, Crayola announced that Dandelion would be retired. On September 14, 2017, the replacement color "Bluetiful" was announced.<ref name="Bluetiful">{{cite web|url=http://www.crayola.com/splash/promos/newcolor|title=Meet Bluetiful - Crayola.com|website=crayola.com}}</ref> The color is reportedly a new hue realized after experiments done at [[Oregon State University]]. It was discovered while scientists were experimenting with electronics.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.torontosun.com/2017/09/14/its-bluetiful-crayola-announces-name-of-new-blue-hue|title=It's bluetiful!

To date, 14 colors have been retired, bringing the total number of regular colors produced to 134.
According to Crayola, they currently manufacture 120 standard crayon colors which are all included in the regular 120-count box.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crayola.com/faq/where-to-buy-your-products/what-is-the-largest-box-of-crayons-you-manufacture/|title=What is the largest box of crayons you manufacture?|website=crayola.com}}</ref> This does not include specialty crayons like the Metallic FX, Gel FX and the glitter crayons, but does include fluorescent crayons.
