It may only be skin deep, but having only Barbie pink to color in the skin color in the drawings of people sure gets kind of annoying in today's modern, multiethnic society. Fear not! Crayola has the solution: a set of "multicultural" crayons.
From Flickr user nathangibb's photo, the multicultural crayons are composed of black, sepia, burnt sienna, mahogany, tan, peach, apricot, and white.
(Just messing with ya. :P)
i love these crans
Crayola has always had "multicultural crayons". They just were not named that. I think it all started with the "Flesh" one. Which was changed to Peach because of the civil rights movement. Then there was "Indian red". A color which referred to the color of pigment from India, and not to Native Americans.
While crayons do blend somewhat, it is not seamless when you little kid learning to color you might try experimenting, but you haven't really grasped the concept of what two colors to try to together to come up with what you want - it is all trial and error.
EPIC WIN!
