Welcome to the Colors for Causes Project.  The goal of this project is to build the ultimate reference guide of awareness colors and their causes available on the web.

These colors are typically used for awareness ribbons, wristbands, organization logos, fundraising products and other items associated with an awareness cause, organization or campaign.  You’ll notice that some causes are associated with more than one color, and some are associated with color combinations.

Please help us continue the Colors for Causes Project.  If you know of a color and/or cause we have overlooked, please let us know by replying to this post.
