What was the first color Play-Doh?

Answer 1

It's really not possible to get a definitive answer on this because the history behind the earliest crayons isn't documented very well. The most likely answer is black because industry marking crayons were around before school or artistic crayons.

Answer 2

The actual first color Binney & Smith produced (that was the name of the company before they changed it to Crayola) was BLACK. However, that wasn't a Crayola crayon. They first produced a black industrial marking crayon under the brand name STAONAL which exists up to current day. A year later, in 1903, they came out with Crayola and offered up over 30 different crayon assortment boxes with everything from a 6-color box to a 30-color box. They used 38 different colors to fill their catalog of boxes originally.

Answer 3

Think about it. The company (Binney and Smith) did not very likely produce and market a single color as its first product. It first produced a small pack of eight basic colors in 1903, and the rest is history. There was no 'first' color.
