The White State

What color did Crayola pick to represent the Evergreen State in its new Crayola State Crayon theme pack?

Would you believe ... white? Or "Space Needle," as it's called in this case.

As our features department's writeup notes, "Our neighbors got such cool colors as Tater Tan (Idaho), Big Sky (Montana) and Sacra-minto (California)." All the colors were nominated by "crayon fans."

Besides a differently colored crayon for each of the 50 states, plus D.C. and Puerto Rico, the collection also contains 12 patriotic-themed colors chosen by Crayola employees. My favorite is Amber Waves of Grain, formerly known as Canary.
