"Thinnies" (thin crayons as opposed to thick, chunky baby crayons) were a real status symbol at primary school! I remember being awed by my first box of 64 crayola crayons at 8yrs old! The perfect colours all sitting magnificently in their stepped rows... even gold and silver crayons and a crayon sharpener!! It was the first sign of a manic obsession with colour charts. Now I make do with the scrolling charts of pantone colours in a photoshop palette to keep my obsession in check!
