In news your five-year-old will care about: Crayola just released results from a huge poll they did to find out what our favorite crayon color is.
They asked people in 183 different countries. And if you’ve ever seen “The Devil Wears Prada”, you’ll know exactly what this shade is.
The most popular crayon color in the world is CERULEAN. It’s the shade of Anne Hathaway’s blue sweater in the scene where Meryl Streep shames her.
The top three crayon colors are all muted shades of blue and purple: Cerulean blue, Robin’s Egg blue, and Wisteria purple. They’re also the top three in the U.S.(“Wild Strawberry” is third in Canada and the U.K.)
They also broke it down by age: Cerulean is #1 for Gen Z’ers, Millennials, and Gen X, Baby Boomers prefer a color called “Purple Heart”, and the favorite crayon color for kids today is “Sky Blue.”

(Blue has been a top color in general for a long time. It was voted #1 when Crayola polled Americans in 1993. And six different shades of blue made the Top 10 when they did another poll in 2000.)
