Aaron at ColorSchemer.com created a fun list of all 120 Crayon Colors with their hex codes and RGB values.  COLOURlovers reproduced this list along with several fun facts.

“the scent of Crayola crayons is among the 20 most recognizable to American adults. Coffee and peanut butter are 1 and 2.”

“Crayola crayon colour names rarely change. However, there are exceptions. In 1958, Prussian blue was changed to midnight blue in response to teacher recommendations that children could no longer relate to Prussian history. In 1962, the colour flesh was changed to peach recognizing that not everyone’s flesh is the same shade.”

But the real gem of this article is the color and hex listing.  Midnight blue (formerly Prussian blue) is the hex code of: #1A4876.   Peach (formerly flesh) is #FFCFAB.

What a great list.

Each series has these elements, and each series evolves over time as different writers take a hand at the character.  What type of elements?  Starring character, recurring cast, supporting cast, locations, settings, antagonists, tone and others.

Really, it’s a fun read through some of your favorite comic books.  The idea of tracking the meta-elements of what basically started as cheap pulp fiction is a pretty neat idea.  Very meta. Below is a list of links I just shamelessly ripped off of this mefi post.
