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.
