What color is Razzmatazz?
Razzmatazz is a vivid, deep pink with a strong red pull, hex #E3256B, close to the color of a red zinnia in full bloom. It is brighter and more saturated than a dusty rose, with a boldness that stops short of a true red.
What is the meaning of the color Razzmatazz?
Crayola introduced Razzmatazz in 1993 as part of a 16-color expansion pack, making it one of the first crayon colors chosen by public vote under the name Big Box of Crayons. The name itself draws from “razzmatazz,” an American slang term recorded as early as the 1890s meaning showy excitement or dazzle. Crayola positioned the color within a group of vivid, high-energy pinks aimed at younger audiences during a period when the brand was actively broadening its spectrum. It remains most concretely anchored to the Crayola product line, where it has appeared in standard boxes sold across North America since its debut year.
