Awareness Colors and Meanings  Many groups have adopted ribbons as symbols of support or awareness, and as a result, many causes often share each color. Some causes may also be represented by more than one color.
The following is a comprehensive list of awareness ribbon colors, awareness bracelet colors and their respective meanings. It is from this list that Crystal Allure Jewelry creates its' own Awareness Jewelry Collection.
