Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What color is "cornflower"?

Answer: blue

"Cornflower" is a medium to light blue. This color was a favorite of the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.

2. What color is "purple mountain's majesty"?

Answer: purple

Crayola introduced "purple mountain's majesty" in 1993. Perhaps the color name comes from "America the Beautiful" which states "Oh beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain. For purple mountain's majesty above thy fruited plains."

3. What color is "chestnut"?

Answer: reddish-brown

"Chestnut' was formerly named "Indian Red". However, Crayola changed the name when teachers informed them that their students thought that was the color of Native American's skins. It was not named with Native Americans in mind, but from a pigment found in India.

Answer: gray

"Timberwolf" was introduced by Crayola in 1993. There is a professional basketball team called the Minnesota Timberwolves.

5. What color is "mauvelous"?

Answer: pinkish-purple

To be more specific, it is a shade of mauve. Mauve was first named in 1856. Crayola came up with this color in 1993. Interestingly enough, they classify it as a red hue, but when you look at it its clearly between pink and purple.

6. What color is "dandelion"?

"Dandelion' gets its name from the fact that it looks like the dandelion flower (or weed depending on your point of view). "Dandelion" was first introduced in 1990.

Answer: green

"Mountain meadow' was first introduced in 1998. When you look at the color it does indeed resemble a beautiful green meadow.

8. What color is "cotton candy" (the crayon not the treat)?

Answer: pink

"Cotton candy" was introduced in 1998. On the computer cotton candy's hex value is FFBCD9.

9. What color is "fuzzy wuzzy"?

Answer: brown

"Fuzzy Wuzzy" was introduced in 1998. Perhaps this color got its name from the rhyme "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he?"

10. What color is "macaroni and cheese" (the color not the food)?

Answer: orange

"Macaroni and cheese" was introduced in 1993. The color was named through Crayola's "Name the New Color Contest".
