Crayola Color Names

I named all 64 Crayola crayon colors correctly. Can you?

Okay, so maybe it did take me three tries before I got all 64 but the first two times I made silly mistakes and got 4 and two wrong on each respective try.

I really do know that the new pink is named "famous" and not "celebrity" but I had started with the top row so by the time I got to the front row I was under extreme pressure. All of the newer names are in the front and who came up with those names anyway?

I remember when the color names at least remotely gave you a clue as to the color but not so any more. Is it any wonder that will so much at stake that I could get confused and pick "green eggs and ham" instead of "giving tree"? But on the third try my clicking finger was steady and my nerves were under control and I was able to name all 64 crayons in one try.

So if there was ever any doubt it has now been cleared up…I am a "Color Genius" and I have the certificate from Crayola to prove it.
