Crayola Has Retired Dandelion—Here's What Crayon Artists Suggest for Coping With the Loss

Summary: Farewell, Dandelion. Crayola has decided to retire that particular shade of yellow, even sending “Dan D.” on a month-long farewell tour around the country. For some of us, this is not a big deal—in my kids’ 128-pack of crayons, there at least five other yellows and oranges; and if the sun now has a little more red-sky-at-night feel to it, who cares? If you’re in the “oh well” camp and have a 64-color box, Goldenrod is pretty close.
