I have always had a interest in the meaning of all the ribbons that I have had a chance to look at. I thought it would be of some interest to my visitors if a collection was available.  Below is a list of awareness ribbons colours and their meanings. Each ribbon colour has a meaning associated with it. Most have several meanings although some are more commonly known than others. My hope is that this list will be of some help.
