Crayon boxes are getting a makeover, because Crayola is saying farewell to one of its colors from the 24-count for the first time in 100 years.
The company announced the news earlier this week but has yet to choose which shade is taking a bow. The decision will be made during a live stream and in Times Square on Friday, March 31, a.k.a. National Crayon Day.

To make its final choice, Crayola is enlisting help from the public by encouraging people to share their favorite color on social media using the hashtag #WhosLeaving.
And don’t worry. There will still be 24 crayons in the box.
"Crayola is all about innovating with color so consumers can expect that there will be a new, exciting color coming soon! Of course, the 24 box will always have that number of crayons," Joshua Kroo, Director of Marketing Communications & Virtual Creativity Platform, told Mashable.
