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.

The Binney & Smith 6-pack crayon box, which is part of the Crayola brand, was first introduced in 1903. This iconic crayon box originally featured eight colors, but the 6-pack became popular as a more economical option for children and schools. Over the years, Crayola has expanded its product line significantly, but the 6-pack remains a classic choice for young artists.

Crayola is the leading crayon manufactuer, and offers the widest variety of products as well as colors for children. its 98 count box is the largest amongst any of its competitors.
Crayola has two manufacturing facilites in Pennsylvania and one in Mexico. Check the crayon box and see if it says made in USA or made in Mexico. I believe crayons are made in all three locations.
