Different kinds of cancer are represented by different colors, but I think all cancer is ugly. I hope to continue doing my part by working with our local Relay for Life. To me, that is such a worthy cause. (I do wish, however, that there was something similar for heart disease which is the number one killer of women now I hear. I do wear a red bracelet now to show my support for heart disease research).
Here are the colors that I have found at various places (Internet, ACS, etc):
Yellow: liver/bladder; gray: brain; royal blue: colon;
Brown: colorectal; orange: leukemia; clear/Pearl: lung;
Black: melanoma; teal: Ovarian/cervical; purple: Pancreas;
Light blue: Prostate/esophagus; Amber: Childhood; Green: lymphoma;
Burgandy: Multiple Myeloma; Emerald: kidney; White: bone;
Lavendar: All Others.
This may not interest you. It means something to me because I lost a wonderful brother-in-law to multiple myeloma and I'm glad to know that burgandy shows my support for research to find a cure for that kind specifically.
