I don't have a clue but would like to know. All I see is pink for breast cancer and while I think it is wonderful all they are doing for breast cancer, there are other kinds too, that should be recognized. One of my friends gave me a cancer bear, pink of course. I hope someone can answer this. Hooray for your mom, I'm a surviver too

I did a search and found out that colon cancer is brown. Most sites said it was brown but I did see one that said royal blue. Regular blue is prostate cancer so make sure it is royal blue. Although the majority said the brown. Lavender is general cancer awareness. Here is a list of colors and the cancer it represents: - lavender - general cancer awareness
- gold - childhood cancers
- grey - brain cancer
- pink - breast cancer
- teal/white - cervical cancer
- brown - colon cancer
- royal blue - colon cancer
- orange - leukemia
- clear - lung cancer
- lime green - lymphoma
- black - melanoma
- burgandy - multiple myeloma
- beige & burgandy - oral, head, and neck cancer
- teal - ovarian cancer
- purple - pancreatic cancer
- blue - prostate cancer
