What is the meaning of the color Radical Red?
Crayola introduced Radical red in 1990 as part of a set of 16 new colors added to expand the standard box. The name was chosen by American children through a public naming contest, reflecting the slang of that era. It became one of the more recognized names from that expansion, anchored by its continued presence in the Crayola 120-count set sold in schools across the United States.
