Abstract:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This report is a recreational investigation into the colors in a 120-count box of Crayola crayons. The 120-count box contains the largest number of colors that Crayola currently sells in a single box. Advocating for the underrepresented, we attempt to answer the question, \u201cWhich color is least well represented?\u201d In our investigative journey, we explore the problems associated with color spaces and reason about what it means to find the \u201caverage\u201d crayon color. We\u2019ll determine the largest gap in hue coverage then find the largest color void in perceptual 3D color space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
