  1. I didn’t take the quiz, because when I looked at it, there was only ONE color name that I’ve even seen in a box of 64.

  2. 9/9!

    It’s been a while since my last hundred. Granted, this was mostly deductive reasoning, but I’ll take it.

  3. 100%!

  4. Karen I did the same thing. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a new box of crayons.

  5. 7/9 Probably would have got 100% had I known what colour a wisteria was.

  6. 7/9.

    I always think my BEAVER is BITTERSWEET…and vice versa.

  7. This makes me want to go buy a new box of crayons (at age 33)! I recognized cornflower and bittersweet, but that’s about it.

    Still got 7/9…confused cerise and jazzberry jam. How embarrassing!

  8. 0/9, it’s interesting how Bittersweet is just a couple of shades darker than the wrong answer background. Showing my age, only had the box with 8 Crayons when going through school.

  9. I don’t understand why inch worm is green.

    7/9 (mixed up inch worm and bittersweet)

  10. 9/9 woo-hoo! It helps being a story-time librarian who does crafts with pre-schoolers.

  11. I didn’t even bother with the test and I loved crayons as a kid. Where are the regular colors everyone remembers like periwinkle and sienna? Beaver, jazzberry jam, wildy wildberry and zipedee do dah are not crayola colors!

  12. I never had crayons these colors, but I scored 100% because I know what colors these things really are.

  13. 100% !
