Crayola ditches dandelion to add new blue crayon to box

From Crayola's box of 24 crayons, the dandelion color (a shade of yellow) is being retired. Its replacement will be in the blue family, however, the exact hue hasn't been revealed yet. The new blue color will be named in a public contest.

It was announced a few days ago, and is even printed on the crayon boxes currently sold in stores. So no, not an April Fools joke.

If an unpopular yellow crayon must be exited, why replace it with blue? Does this make any sense to anybody?

Let us pray it's a joke. If not, I fear I'll having a hard time coming to terms with it. I might even be driven to strong drink.

It probably makes sense to the folks at Crayola, who very likely focused-grouped the hell out of the replacement color selection.

On the other hand, the notion that a yellow variant must be replaced with some other yellow variant only makes sense if you're some sort of anal-retentive who isn't happy unless there some sort of uniformity in the color selection.

You really are profoundly disappointed that this color-swap isn't for some reason you can get your undies in a bunch over, aren't you?
