What do you think when I say colors. Blue, green, purple, pink or maybe dark shades like black, grey or charcoal. Well I think more then that, I think that each color has a meaning. Like the cancer ribbons each means a different thing so if your supporting someone who has brain cancer you would wear grey. Here is list of the cancer ribbons:

Grey Brain Cancer
Teal/White Cervical Cancer
Pink Breast Cancer
Orange
Leukemia
Orange Kidney Cancer
Gold Childhood Cancer
Light Blue Prostate Cancer
Dark Blue Colon Cancer
Lime Green Lymphoma
Teal Ovarian Cancer
Yellow Bladder Cancer
Yellow Sarcoma
Emerald Green Liver Cancer
Black Melanoma
Pearl/Clear Lung Cancer
Purple Pancreatic
Purple Leiomyosarcoma
Burgundy Multiple Myeloma
Peach Uterine Cancer
Kelly Green Kidney Cancer
Burgundy/Ivory Head & Neck Cancer
Periwinkle Blue Esophageal Cancer
Periwinkle Blue Stomach Cancer
Teal/Pink/Blue Thyroid Cancer
Orchid Testicular Cancer
Plum To Honour Caregivers
Lavender General Cancer



As you can see there are many and its neat that they made this because its a good way to show support to someone you love or to support an over all cancer. But this isn't the only place where colors stand for something. They are also shown in many other things
such as... to label things like maps or calenders, to make a statement in your clothing or to make something from dull to fun. Colors are everywhere.

Colors have also made there way into our school systems. Students are even learning them pre-school and in french when they start junior kinder garden. They teach students lessons and are used through-out the school systems. To stand for almost anything.

Colors are used everywhere. Whether its to tell one tree from another or a red stop light to a green go light. Colors can save our lives and its important that we don't just think of blue, green, purple, pink or maybe dark shades like black, gray or charcoal. We need to think of the over all picture and how each day we are privileged to have these colors in our lives.

P.S. But that doesn't mean that we still can't have a favorite.

Life lesson: If you let the color of your soul escape you, you may never get it back
