What is the correct color for a leukemia awareness ribbon?
My cousin died of leukemia last year at age two and we are going on the Light the Night walk this year so I wanted to make a special shirt/some tribute art for leukemia awareness.
Now, I have researched the possible colors but can't find a definite answer. I have read that colors can range from purple, orange, lime green, and striped red-and-white for leukemia.
Could anybody please shed some light on which color would be the correct color to use?
I think she had some form of lymphoma also, and I'm not sure if that factors into the decision of a color choice.
Can anyone help? This means a lot to my family and I and I would like the answer to be as accurate as possible.
