I think dialysis patients should have a colored ribbon all their own. Organ donation is green.
Kidney cancer is either orange or green.
There are so many dialysis patients there should be a color of ribbon for us.
Up for discussion: what color would represent and get the word out about dialysis patients living life on a machine?
Here is a link to colored ribbons and causes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awareness_ribbons

Black, actually, but I personally prefer lavender.
-
Lavender is good. I thought maybe a two coloured ribbon, red and blue .
-
Blood red since we see so much of it.
-
I totally agree with red !!!! It is all about the blood . Kidneys are a red color as well !!!
-
That's true. Red would be a good color!!
-
Red ribbons have such a pull with the drug free community that it would never run as a dialysis patient ribbon, IMHO.
I saw one on facebook I liked. It has two colors of green
-
Red with crinkles in it like a real kidney.
-
Red and Blue (blood) and Yellow (pee). That's like several Balkan and South American flags.
Red and Yellow... Hepatitis C has taken this combination
Maybe it could be diagonal stripes like this: http://amzn.com/B007IRBFY8
I think ribbon campaigns were an early 90's thing. I don't know if they should come back. Green transplant ribbons seem to have stuck around awhile.
-
Representing the World Kidney Day colours surely.... Red Blue and Yellow...
Makes sense if we want WKD to be recognised :)
-
I am an HIV patient as well as Kidney. Red would be best and most obvious, however, that one is well spoken for by the HIV community, maybe we could combine a group of colours? I can't imagine Black, regardless of how appropriate it makes me feel.
-
Why shouldn't we come up with something entirely different?
-
Lavender is great... it combines veinous blue and arterial red into one attractive color!
-
I say Orange will be good. It's different and will standout. 8)
-
How about an iridescent color? Orange perhaps would look great, with maybe a colored button where it crosses over.
-
Yellow because most people think kidney have something to do with peeing but that is it. :rofl;
-
PKD has teal, but I agree that it should be something that stands out. Orange is kidney cancer and also the color used after Sandy Hook (I think). Here is a list of what colors represent http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awareness_ribbons . I like the idea of diagonal stripes, or perhaps vertical stripes a la http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_teal_and_green_ribbon . I'm thinking some combination of a bright red, turquoise, lime and/or orange. But just my thoughts :D

how about a split ribbon w/ both colors in it....blue and red?
-
We haven't gotten far since 2007 :) http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=5577.0
How about checkered (hoping to make it to the finish line lol)
-
How about some colours we've already got, globally.. the 3 World Kidney Day colours..
Blue, Red and Yellow..:)
