What Colors Do You Need To Make Galaxy Crayons?

The galaxy if filled with colors. Traditional galaxy colors involve black, white, blue, purple, and pinks. It is generally very dark, and that would make for an interesting crayon. But for these DIY galaxy crayons you can use any colors you want. Keeping them all in the similar shade will make coloring a little easier as they won’t be mixing and changing too much.
