The word creyón 'colored pencil' is a Canarianism that comes from the French crayon ‛pencil'. The orthographic tradition has fixed the writing of this word with e in its first syllable and y in the second, probably due to phonetic reasons, in the first case, and etymological reasons, in the second.
In addition to this meaning that we have pointed out, creyón has the meaning of 'photograph taken in a studio' in the islands of Tenerife and La Palma, and 'frame of a painting or portrait' in Gran Canaria.
