Okay, I'll try but I may be making some up unintentionally.

Forest Green
Navy Blue (does that count as a primary?)
Dandelion
Maize
Red-Orange and Orange-Red (they're a mix, they don't count, lol)
Salmon
Copper
Violet-Red
Burnt Umber (?)
Melon
Canary Yellow

Okay, my mind is now toast.

I always like silver and copper. I also like the way they looked right out of the box. As a kid it fascinated me.

The always politically incorrect Indian Red.

Also I remember periwinkle, cornflower blue, lemon yellow (used that one all the time -heard they got rid of it) and wasn’t there a goldenrod?

There was also olive green, which I hated. Raw sienna, burnt umber. Sky blue.

It's now called "Peach" after many complaints that this crayon was name was racist.

My favorite colors were copper and silver.

When I was in college, I bought a box of 64. Before I opened it up, a friend of mine and I tried to see how many of the 64 we could remember. I think we did pretty well. I wish they had not done away with the color wheel names. I think that was a nice feature.

Baby puke yellow and baby poop green readily come to mind.
