Do I like the current glitter crayons? I like them but I love the Silver Swirls and the GemTones even more. There was something magical about the Silver Swirls. Since then Crayola has expanded the idea of glitter to chalk and glitter glue.

Color Information
When the glitter crayons first appeared they had names on them. There were many iterations of 8 count and 16 count boxes later released. Sometimes the 8 count boxes had names, sometimes they did not. The only 16 box that had names was the Multi Colored Glitter Crayon box. I have inferred the recent glitter crayons some from the Star Wars 64 crayon boxes where the crayons were named.What's inside the box:
8 Crayola Glitter Crayons (1993): black, orange, orchid, red, sky blue, violet, yellow, yellow green
8 Crayola Glitter Crayons (Canada): Not Named
8 Count Crayola Multi Colored Glitter Crayons: Not Named
16 Crayola Glitter Crayons (2010 and 2011), Not named, these are approximations: white confetti glitter, white gold glitter, yellow glitter, black glitter, blue glitter, purple glitter, maroon glitter, orange glitter, red glitter, sky blue glitter (missing some names)
16 Multi Colored Glitter Crayons: black with glitzy gold glitter, blue with shimmering silver glitter, blue green with glitzy gold glitter, carnation pink with lavender glitter, green with twinkling turquoise glitter, maroon with glitzy gold glitter, orange with twinkling turquoise glitter, orchid with twinkling turquoise glitter, red with shimmering silver glitter, red violet with glitzy gold glitter, royal purple with ruby red glitter, sky blue with glitzy gold glitter, white with confetti glitter, white with glitzy gold glitter, yellow with rainbow glitter, yellow green with silver glitter

Collecting Information
In 1993 Crayola started making Gem Tones, and then later Star Brite which were Gem Tones with different wrappers and Pearl Brites which were very similar to Silver Swirls.
The current box of glitter crayons is still in production. The large glitter crayons and named glitter crayons are not and are collectible.

Glitter crayons[edit]
ReplyDeleteIn 1997, Crayola released Crayons with Glitter as part of a Special Effects crayons package. Starting as late as 1999, their crayon names don't appear on the crayon wrappers. In the below list, the background represents crayon color, and the highlighted "square of glitter" around text represents glitter color.[22]
