What Color is Your Awareness Ribbon?

Since the early 1970s, awareness ribbons have been recognized and used to raise awareness of diseases and causes. However, so many designations have been made that it can be confusing to know what color represents the cause closest to your heart.

What Color is Your Awareness Ribbon?

To help answer that question, I'll list a few of the causes that I have come across during my ten-plus years of designing crystal awareness bracelets and handmade jewelry. For those of you who know me, you know topping that list are the following causes and nationally recognized awareness ribbon color(s):

Cystic Fibrosis -purple awareness ribbon
Organ Donation -green awareness ribbon
Transplant -green awareness ribbon
Lung Transplant -green with a butterfly as the symbol designating the transplant is specifically 'lung'

I've been honored over the years to also design custom awareness bracelets for a variety of related causes that include the following causes and nationally recognized awareness ribbon color(s):

Pulmonary Fibrosis -red and blue awareness ribbons
Asthma -gray awareness ribbon
Behcet's Disease -light blue awareness ribbon

I hope this information has helped guide you in understanding some of the nationally recognized awareness ribbon colors for the cause(s) closest to your heart. And if you don't find your cause listed, please visit the articles, I'm sure you will find them there.
