I ran into the [Wikpedia page for Crayola offical colors](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors). 

The list consists of 133 colors, with names and HEX values, so with a little help of Python, it was easy to extract them into a JSON file that we can use: 
    
    
    
    
    [
        {
            "hex": "#EFDECD", 
            "name": "Almond", 
            "rgb": "(239, 222, 205)"
        }, 
        {
            "hex": "#CD9575", 
            "name": "Antique Brass", 
            "rgb": "(205, 149, 117)"
        }, 
        {
            "hex": "#FDD9B5", 
            "name": "Apricot", 
            "rgb": "(253, 217, 181)"
        }, 
        {
            "hex": "#78DBE2", 
            "name": "Aquamarine", 
            "rgb": "(120, 219, 226)"
        }, 
        {
            "hex": "#87A96B", 
            "name": "Asparagus", 
            "rgb": "(135, 169, 107)"
        }, 
        {
            "hex": "#FFA474", 
            "name": "Atomic Tangerine",
