Crayola came out with the Multicultural crayons in 1990. Multicultural crayons were an "assortment" containing "six tone colors of the world which can be blended with black & white to create a wide variety of skin tones. By varying pressure while crayoning, deeper or lighter tones" could "be achieved to expand the color range in this culturally inclusive assortment." The box did not contain any new colors, they were colors from the standard Crayola crayons; black, sepia, mahogany, burnt sienna, tan, peach, apricot, and white. A 16 count box was also made that contained eye and hair colors.
Crayola also included Multicultural paint, colored pencils and markers.
In 2020 Crayola announced a new assortment of crayons "Colors of the World" that expands the MultiCultural line even more. These are a set of 24 specially formulated crayons for various skins tones. I can not wait to get my hands on them.
