Friday is National Crayon Day and Crayola says it will mark the occasion by retiring one of its colors.

Crayola says the announcement revealing which color is getting retired will be livestreamed on Facebook on Friday morning.

On Facebook, news of the impending color retirement brought suggestions as to which colors it should or shouldn't be. Others lamented that Crayola is retiring a color at all.

Crayola is well known for offering a wide range of colors, some with uncommon names: outer space, maximum purple and razzmatazz just to name a few.

These less familiar colors will be safe though, as the company is focusing only on colors in its 24-count box for the event.
