In March, it was announced by Crayola that the company would be retiring the yellow Dandelion shade, which was introduced in 1990, from its 24-pack of crayons and a piece of our childhood died a little.

While Dandelion is the ninth shade to be retired, it does have a replacement—and no, it's not millennial pink.
Crayola has decided to grab inspiration from a blue pigment called YInMn, which was discovered in 2009—it was the first new blue pigment discovered in 200 years!
The color won't roll out in crayon boxes yet, the company is holding a naming contest for the shade. So if you're passionate about crayons, submit a name.
We have a few suggestions inspired by the scene:
“You Blue It”
“Blue Wall”
“My Blue Heaven”
“Clearest Blue”
“Deep Blue”
“Blue Sky Noise”
“You Look So Good In Blue”
