The best is when you get all the shavings from your sharpener and mush them together to create a kaleidoscope of colors.

Does the 64 pack have the lazy named ones where they just put spectral locations? Like red orange, and orange yellow?

I don't think I'd call it a "favorite", just weird. Flesh. Have you ever really seen anyone with that color of skin? (I guess if they were sick maybe.)

- @condega5 "In 1962, Crayola voluntarily changed Flesh to Peach..."
  I remember selecting Peach as the closest thing to my own skin tone, and using Burnt Sienna to represent classmates, when I was little. Still, it hasn't been called "flesh" in Crayola's lineup in over fifty years.
