An investigation on colors and its names of children's drawing materials was conducted. As a result, although 55 regular colors were indicated by the Agency of Technology and Standard of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, products of five renowned companies showed inconsistent color names, color compositions and color values. For children in age of getting familiarized with crayons or crayon pastels, inconsistent colors and names between different drawing products can cause great influence as children grow; and also it could give them confusion in color acknowledgement. Therefore, it bears significant importance. This study examined and analyzed most basal problems of drawing materials in children color education through conducting survey to consumers and color industry related personnel on what color should be added to the basic color composition which consists generally of 12 colors.
