For the first time in its history, Crayola will bring back a collection of retired crayon colors. 

Guests who visit the Crayola Experience in Easton, Pennsylvania, can buy a custom pack of the newly reinstalled crayon colors, plus mix and match other crayons and markers from the store's 40-foot-long Pick Your Pack wall. 

Guests looking for a colorful dose of nostalgia should act soon though because this is a limited-edition collection. The pack includes eight colors that were retired from 1990 to 2017.

The nostalgic collection of colors includes: Dandelion, which was retired in 2017; Blizzard Blue, Magic Mint and Mulberry, retired in 2003; Orange Red, Violet Blue, Lemon Yellow and Raw Umber, retired in 1990.
