Yellow crayon ‘Dan D’ announces his retirement from Crayola's box of 24

The sunny shade of "Dandelion" won't be in Crayola's box of 24 anymore. As a tribute to the color, the crayon company on Thursday bid farewell to "Dan D" with a video detailing his many adventures.

Dandelion's farewell comes a day before National Crayon Day, March 31, and in a Facebook live, the company revealed that the shade of yellow will be replaced by something blue.

"I can share two pieces of new information: The first is that the new color will be part of the blue family," Melanie Boulden, senior vice president U.S. and global marketing at Crayola, said. "And the second is, this summer we are going to invoke our fans to name the new color because we want you all to be a part of Crayola history."

Crayola first retired colors in 1990, removing maize, lemon yellow, blue gray, raw umber, green blue, orange red, orange yellow, and violet blue from their lineup. In 2003, blizzard blue, magic mint, mulberry, and teal blue were retired. — AT, GMA News
