I would love to see the colors of the world made into oil pastels. I teach at a lower elementary art school, and we use your oil pastels frequently. I would love to have a classroom set of the colors of the world as well!
So many still hold "light" as a beauty standard. Calling the darker colors "deep" or "very deep" and the lighter colors "light" or "very light" just reinforces that some are light and some are dark and makes darker-skinned kids see they're not at the "light" level of beauty. Why not use names that kids would see as positive? For example, chocolate, caramel, coffee, latte, cinnamon, whatever. Leave light and deep/dark off altogether and make it relatable to things kids like.

This is wonderful. The multicultural crayons were wonderful, but this is even better! Now when my kindergarten kids create their self-portraits they will have so many more options! Looking forward to more products like this!
Very exciting, we'd love to see fabric markers too

My kiddo loves having me stencil his shirt with kiddos from around the world but it's so hard to find multicultural fabric markers for skin tones. We'd love to see Crayola branch out and create a set.
My brother just turned 50 - what took so long?! And we're still waiting in the UK... My rating reflects the fact that Crayola finally realised that all people ain't pink.
But, I would always just mix the old colors to make my skin tone, I guess that doesn’t HAVE to be the case. But it was just as fun mixing colors lightly together myself until I started to see my skin tone, yah know?
