By 1998, Crayola came out with the colors in several different boxes. There was a Wizard’s Giant box featuring 120 colors that had a copyright of 1997 on the box but didn’t appear until early 1998. They also came out with “The Ultimate”, an assortment that feature 200 colors; their biggest ever. Pig pink was introduced, but later changed to “piggy pink”.
