Crayola announced Friday that it’s replacing its signature dark yellow Dandelion crayon. The company gave two clues about its upcoming color during a Facebook live held on National Crayon Day.

“[I] can share two pieces of new information, the first is that the new color will be part of the blue family, and the second is this summer we are going to invoke our fans to name the new color because we want you all to be a part of Crayola history,” Melanie Boulden, senior vice president U.S. and global marketing at Crayola, said.

Ms.Boulden said more details about the new crayon color will be announced in May.

As of 2014, the colors in a box of 24 Crayola crayons are red, yellow, blue, brown, orange, green, violet, black, carnation pink, yellow orange, blue green, red violet, red orange, yellow green, blue violet, white, violet red, dandelion, cerulean, apricot, scarlet, green yellow, indigo and gray.

Crayola sells a variety of different box sizes, the most common of which contain either eight, 16, 24, 48, 64, 96 or 120 crayons, but they have offered boxes of as many as 200 crayons.Dandelion’s retirement marked the first time in Crayola’s history that it removed a color from a box of 24.
