Most crayons or coloured pencils, even the 40 pack variety, just have different shades of red, blue, yellow, green, purple, orange.

Because to get it right they'd need to be made of human skin

Probably because no two people have the exact same skin color, so there would be no way to make a crayon called "human skin".

But, like it was mentioned before, they actually do make a pack of varying "skin colored" crayons.

Came in to say this. Seemed like some kinda equality/diversity campaign the one I saw came with a coloring book of people of various races ethnicities cultures etc.

It was "peach" colored in the US for white people skin color. Was basically the color of someone with a light tan.

Any crayon thats named flesh color is weird because flesh comes in a variety of very different shades. When I was a kid, the one that I used to color white characters was called peach, which is more fitting tbh.

When I was in elementary, I was sent to ask another class for their "people crayons" (which turned out to be these). Of course I hadn't heard this term before, or seen the set in general, so I assumed I was instead meant to be getting crayons shaped like people (I had seen such a thing in a store, or advertised, or maybe someone had them, IDK, point is I had seen such a thing) and was very confused when I got just... a bunch of what seemed like normal crayons. Didn't even notice the colors weren't the usual ones until I got back and the teacher explained what they were for.

I've seen near fights over peach crayons cause they only came in like the huge box of crayons and most kids only had the basic box of crayons

Actually all of the video is pretty interesting. So that's the story of peach color, I always wondered about that name
