I remember that crayon picker very well! I was always intrigued that it had a slightly different visual style than the rest of the UI, but I would never have guessed it was created by the author of Glider.
In hindsight, this is a really well-designed UI. It's skeuomorphic in that it resembles physical crayons with some 3D shading; but at the same time has a flat layout -- the crayons are in a regular grid rather than a realistic 3D perspective. Good combination of attractive, clear and usable.
