Awareness ribbon colors boomed in the past decade with ribbons to bring attention to a wide array of diseases, conditions, and social problems. Critics say that there are so many awareness ribbons that the meanings have become obscured. The team at Wizard Pins tackles this problem with an infographic that breaks down what each color represents as well as what months are ascribed to a particular cause.
For example, we can see on the chart that there are almost 50 meanings ascribed to the color purple. How to know what cause someone’s ribbon is pointing to? Check the chart and you’ll see that they’re likely wearing it for a specific awareness month. Other popular colors include blue, green, and red.
The guide includes less common colors as well, like patterned ribbons with puzzles, rainbow stripes, and zebra patterns. Whether you want to decode the possible meaning behind a common ribbon or identify what a new pattern you’ve never seen means, bookmark this infographic for a quick guide to awareness ribbons.
