I would love to see how many disabilities for each colour.

For example:

Green for Cerebral Palsy


Can you help me???????

    Nice set @colet! Purple is often used to represent disability in general, that's why Scope's colour scheme uses purple 😊

    Then I think Multiple Sclerosis is sometimes represented by the colour orange

    I've seen Autism, Diabetes and M.E/CFS awareness all represented with blue ribbons before

    Those are all that I can come up with at the moment but I'll keep thinking!

    I've seen colours represent different things depending on where you look. However in general I've seen

    . Red - Generaly physical disabilities.

    . As Rosie_Scope says Purple is shown as disability in general.

    . Gold (Sometimes shown as Yellow) - Neurodiversity/cognitive and intellectual disabilities.

    . White - Unseen/Invisible disabilities and (Sometimes)disabilities that haven't yet been diagnosed.

    . Blue - emotional and psychiatric disabilities (including mental illness, anxiety, and depression.)

    Green: sensory perception disabilities.

    That's all I'm aware of.

    I'm one of those people who associates different types of a certain thing (like musical notes or days of the week) with a particular colour, but I don't seem to be able to do it with disabilities
