Default Crayon colors

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what exactly are "crayon colors"?

I would think they are referring to primary colors.....unless they are referring to the 164 color box

Yellow red orange, what you see is what you get colors.
Some of them tend to boil easily and need to be encased or worked carefully.

GA Acid Yellow Crayon and GA Yellow Crayon are two really bright yellows that don't boil as easily as some other crayons. I use them for stamens in flower implosions and for anemonies and stuff in my seafloor marbles. NS striking yellow is NOT school bus yellow, nor Bart Simpson's hair yellow. For orange or orangey red I love NS Poppy. The last batch I got did not have any major boiling issues. It was a pleasure to use.

If you want BRIGHT, use the crayons and learn how to deal with the boiling.
