So armed with a packet of standard 24 Crayola crayons, a full list of their colours and the trademarked Pantone colours I've come across I'm ready to start matching them up. Here's hoping they match up fine!

- 'Black'- Process Black- Guinness

- 'Indigo'
- 'Blue'- 286 C- Bluetooth
- 'Cerulean'- 300 C - NHS
- 'Blue Green'
- 'Green'- 3425 C- Starbucks
- 'Yellow Green'- 375 C- Kawasaki
- 'Green Yellow'
- 'Yellow'- 116 U - Caterpillar
- 'Dandelion'- 116 C- National Geographic
- 'Yellow Orange'
- 'Orange'- 151 C- Orange Personal Communication LTD
- 'Red Orange'
- 'Scarlet'-
- 'Red'- 485 C- Coca-Cola/ London Transport/ McDonald's

- 'Brown'- 0607298 (Invalid PMS) - UPS
I'm leaving it at this for the time being, it's taking alot of time to find colours. I need to finish up a brand and packaging for these then I'll come back and finish matching colours.
I'm feeling already that I'll not be able to match all 24 of the colours so my packet of crayons will probably have less than the Crayola packet.
Update~ I've managed to put together 14 out of the 24 Crayola colours, it's taking up far too much of my time and I need I to move on. I'm pretty happy with the list that I have, I've got at least one of every basic shade ( White, Grey, Black, Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink, Brown) so I'm not too worried about not matching the other shades.
There are a few trademarked colours that I would have loved to have matched but sadly I don't have the correct Crayola crayon for it. Some of these are; T-Mobile Magenta, Tiffany Blue, 3M Canary Yellow, Red Bull Silver & UCLA Gold
The brands I have connected to 'White' & 'Black' haven't to my knowledge trademarked those colours but they are synonymous with those colours so it's only a matter of time (Apple more so)
The UPS Brown PMS code is always quoted to be '0607298' but this isn't a recognised Pantone colour code, very strange.
