Which 8 Crayola colors were retired?

The 8 Crayola colors that were retired refers to the major retirement that happened in 1990 when Crayola decided to introduce 16 new colors and retire 8 older colors from its standard lineup to keep the box sizes manageable. This was a well-known event in Crayola history. The 8 colors retired in 1990 were maize, a light yellow, lemon yellow, a bright yellow, blue gray, a muted bluish gray, raw umber, a dark brown, green blue, a deep teal, orange red, a reddish orange, orange yellow, a light orange-yellow, and violet blue, a purplish blue. These colors had been part of the Crayola lineup for many years, some since the early 1900s. They were replaced by 16 new brighter colors including dandelion, fuchsia, cerulean, royal purple, teal blue, vivid tangerine, and others. This retirement is often cited as the most famous Crayola retirement. Later, Crayola retired 4 additional colors in 2003 as part of a Save the Shade campaign, those were blizzard blue, magic mint, mulberry, and teal blue. And in 2017, dandelion was retired and replaced by bluetiful. But when people ask about the 8 retired colors, they usually mean the 1990 group listed above.
