The following were colors used on Crayola's largest sized crayons that were called Kid's First and also Kindergarten: Candy Apple Red
School Bus Yellow
Birdie Blue
Leap Frog Green
Grape Juice Purple
Pumpkin Orange
Bunny Brown
Kitty Cat Black
But in actuality, they were just renames of the same basic combination of colors used in their 8-color boxes for over 100 years. Originally, their fist box of 8 colors contained the following:
Black, Blue, Brown, English Vermilion, Green, Orange, Violet, Yellow
English Vermillion is another shade of Red and Violet is just another name for Purple.
Eventually, they switched out English Vermillion for Red. Blue and Red in particular have changed their true color look over the 100+ year history without changing the name. If you were to color with an original blue or red and with today's blue or red, you'd notice quite a difference.

How many crayon where in the first box of Crayola crayon?
Most people believe there were eight colors but in reality, Binney & Smith (the name of the company that produced the Crayola product at that time) had an entire catalog of crayon boxes with every size from 6 colors to 30 colors. The largest size of named colors was a 28-color box called the Crayola No 51 and the colors were numbered on their wrappers and then the numbers had color names on the box. They did produce a 30-color box but the crayons didn't have wrappers on them and so the colors couldn't be tracked back to what color names they actually were. It was common to not put wrappers on crayons sold to artists.
What crayons are there in an eight pack of crayons?
There can be different ones in different packs. The most familiar assortment is: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Black, Brown, Violet (purple). The original "No. 8" crayon box didn't come from Crayola, it actually came from Franklin Mfg. Co (which later changed their name to Franklin Crayon Co.) in Rochester, NY in 1901. They were the first real crayon company producing crayons in the USA. Crayola began their crayon production in Aug 1903 and one of their earlier boxes was also 8 colors but wasn't called the "No 8 until 1905 when they changed to the "Gold Medal" design box that branded their product for the next 50 years. Though their original color names weren't exactly the ones used today (English Vermillion was the red color crayon used originally) they have been consistent with these primary colors for over a 100 years.
When was the first crayon sold?

Who invented the Crayola Crayons?
Edwin Binney and Harold Smith were the men responsible of the creation of the first crayolas under their Binney & Smith company which was founded back in 1885.

They first sold Crayola's in June of 1903 and had a full line of boxes from a 6-color to a 30-color although their 8-color was one of their more famous assortment sizes.
Is there a white crayon in the original 8-pack of Crayola crayons?
No, the original 8 colors were basically Black, Blue, Brown, Green, Orange, Red, Violet and Yellow. Almost everyone thinks that the original yellow box with the Gold Medal on it was the original 8-color box but that didn't come out until 1905 and Crayola debuted in Aug 2003. They had a green box of 8 back then that contained: Black, Blue, Brown, English Vermilion, Green, Orange, Violet, Yellow. Now English Vermillion is a red color and was commonly used as a Red back during that time so technically those have always been the standard 8 colors. The 8-color box goes back even before Crayola was created. Franklin Mfg Co. were the first to use this size box and set the standard for those colors. White, however, was an original color featured in the Crayola assortment in 1903. They used it in a 12 color box for artists and sketching and it could be found in their 18, 24 and 28 color sets. Over the 100+ years of Crayola, White is one of the most consistent colors whereas other colors like Red, Blue and Green changed fairly significantly over the years.
