Secondarily, read as many other titles you can that might have the names of crayons you'd find in a box of Crayola. Exact names or color variations are all acceptable
Examples:
Red: The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. This matches exact, of course.
Orange: Blood Orange by Susan Wittig Albert. This refers to the fruit, but go ahead and use it as the color.
Blue: Cocaine Blues by Kerry Greenwood. It means the music, but it contains the word so you can use it.
You can list other colors as well as different shades.
Other Colors:
Peach: Peach Pies and Alibis by Ellery Adams. It may be the fruit but it is a color, too.
Brown: Brownies and Broomsticks by Bailey Cates. It contains the word so go ahead.
Shades:
Rose: The Fire Rose by Mercedes Lackey. The Fire Rose, while it is referring to the flower here, you can use it as a shade of red.
Sable: A Study in Sable by Mercedes Lackey. Sable is a shade of black so go ahead and list it.

Feel free to add any more colors you can think of. For ideas, look here for a list of colors: If the crayon color is more than one word, just drop the basic color reference.
Example, if it is Pine Green, just use Pine. Or if it is Forest Green, just use Forest. Or Brick Red just use Brick.
