Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Plum

Plums can be red, black or yellow on the outside but when you remove the skin, the flesh inside is a vibrant yellowy-orange colour. Plums are very juicy which means that they can be messy to eat sometimes but they are very tasty. You have to be careful though, because a plum has a big stone in the middle called a pit that can't be eaten - it could break your teeth!

The plum Crayola was introduced in 1958 and is a deep red colour.
2. Olive Green

Olives can come in lots of different colours: green, black, or purple, but it is the green ones that the crayon colour is based on. The difference between the different coloured olives is when they are picked. Green olives are picked when they are young, black or purple ones have been allowed to fully ripen on the tree.

Olives shouldn't be eaten when they are raw because they are very bitter. To make them edible they are cured first. This means that they are treated with salt to make them taste better. For olives this often means soaking them in a salty water solution called brine.

Olive Green was one of the original colours of Crayola crayons when they were introduced to the world in 1903.
3. Glossy Grape

The grape is a fruit that grows in bunches on a vine. It comes in a range of colours that are known in English as white and red even though the colours are more like green and purple. The Glossy Grape crayon, introduced in 1990 as part of the Silver Swirls range, is a purple colour.

Grapes are a good option for a snack because they are low in calories and contain fibre, which is good for your tummy, and Vitamins C and K that help keep your body healthy and strong.
4. Apricot

Apricots are a round fruit from the same family as the peach and the plum. They range in colour from pale yellow to orange. They can be eaten in lots of ways. Dried apricots are a popular snack but they are also lovely baked in muffins, made into jam or even in cheese!

The apricot Crayola was introduced in 1958 and is a pale orange colour.
5. Chestnut

The chestnut is, as its name suggests, a nut. A nut is a fruit that has a hard outer shell. Roasted chestnuts are a popular food at Christmas and chestnut is often mixed with sausage meat to form a stuffing for a turkey as part of the Christmas meal in the UK and used to be popular at Thanksgiving in the United States.

The chestnut Crayola crayon is a deep red-brown colour. It was one of the original Crayola colours introduced in 1903, when it was known as Indian Red. It was renamed as chestnut in 1999.
6. Vivid Tangerine

The tangerine is small type of orange, similar to a mandarin. It is a popular alternative to the orange because it is very easy to peel. It gets its English name from the Moroccan city of Tangiers. Like the orange, it gives its name to a colour, a particularly bright shade of orange.

The first Vivid Tangerine Crayola crayon was made available in 1990.
7. Mango Tango

The Mango Tango Crayola crayon, first sold in 2003, is a deep orange colour. As you can see from the photo, this is not the usual colour of the skin, which is a mixture of green and red. The flesh inside is an orange colour and is very tasty. The skin is not usually eaten. Mango is a tropical fruit, which means it is grown in hot areas of the world mainly between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
8. Banana Mania

Most bananas start out green and turn yellow as they get riper. There are types of banana that are a different colour, such as the pink banana. Bananas have lots of vitamins and minerals in them, including potassium, which is very good for your muscles and your heart.

The yellow Banana Mania crayon was first released by Crayola in 1998.
9. Granny Smith Apple

The Granny Smith apple was cultivated by Mary Ann Smith in Australia in the 19th century. It is a bright green colour, which makes it stand out from many other apple varieties that can range in colour from a pale yellow-green to a deep red. Apples are a very healthy option to eat as they have lots of helpful minerals and vitamins, such as vitamin C, which helps your immune system fight infections.

Crayola released the green Granny Smith Apple crayon in 1993.
10. Melon

There are many different varities of melon, each of which can look very different from each other. Most are round or oval-shaped but some look like a cucumber. The sizes range from small grape-sized cucamelons to the giant watermelons that can be more than 60cm in diameter.

There is also a wide range of colours - including green, yellow, orange on the outside and pale green, red, orange, yellow on the inside . The picture is a canteloupe melon with a green rind and orange flesh. The melon Crayola crayon is an orange colour with a hint of pink. It has been available to buy since 1958.
