The iconic art supply company has created a palette of 24 global shades for its new “Colors of the World” box, which is designed to illustrate more than 40 skin tones.

The Colors of the World shades were developed in partnership with Victor Casale, former chief chemist of MAC cosmetics and current CEO of MOB Beauty. With over 30 years’ experience in developing diverse foundation shades, Casale worked with the brand to make a palette that would authentically reflect what Crayola describes as “the full spectrum of human complexions”
"I have spent my life trying to create truly global shade palettes because I know what it's like to be with a person who has finally found their exact match. They feel included and recognized, and I am hoping every child who uses these crayons and finds their shade will have that feeling," Casale said.
