What is the color of "Diabetes Awareness"?

My thought is a simple thought that someone at my employer asked me and I have no clue how to answer it.
They asked because I put up a few posters asking everyone to wear something “BLUE” tomorrow. And they
ask – What is the “real” color for Diabetes Awareness?

1. Awareness sites say that GREY is the color

2. American Diabetes Association has everything in RED

3. World Diabetes Association has it all in BLUE

4. JDRF has everything in ORANGE

If someone says Breast Cancer, we automatically think PINK. So when someone says Diabetes, we
think ,,,,,,,,,,what color?

Abstract

We searched for predictors of essential hypertension in 1,031 persons aged 30–49 who were observed to progress
from normotension to hypertension, as compared to an equal number of matched subjects who remained
normotensive. Blood pressure status was well documented in both multiphasic screenings and clinical records.
Compared to persons with each lighter eye color, those with brown eyes were more prone to develop hypertension,
with relative risk of 1.5 (95% confidence interval 1.18–1.96) compared to all persons with nonbrown eyes. The
association persisted after control for race, sex, body mass index, alcohol use, educational level, parental history of
hypertension, and among whites, for ethnic origin as crudely estimated by last name. Partial confirmation was
obtained in three largely independent study groups: 1) 25 pairs of eye-color-discordant dizygotic twins; 2) 894 pairs of
incident hypertensives and controls selected only with multiphasic screening blood pressure measurements; and 3)
cross-sectional analysis of 152,018 multiphasic screenees. The weak association of eye color with hypertension
clearly requires futher confirmation. Although it has little potential for use in screening or clinical care, it may have
implications regarding etiology. Areas for further exploration include the close metabolic relation of melanins to
catecholamines, both derived from the amino acid tyrosine, and the possibility that dark-eyed persons react more
quickly and strongly to stimuli than light-eyed persons.

Yet another form of "vibrational" medicine consists of the use of various colors for the specific
therapeutic properties these colors emit. There are different ways to apply color therapy, including
wearing clothing of a certain color, or assuming a relaxed or meditative state then imagining the color
seeping into your body, or using thin colored pieces of plastic ("gels") over a light source in the home
or office, such as a lamp. Colors reputed to benefit hypertension are:

• lemon (helps to dissolve blood clots) and purple (helps to lower blood pressure by three
pathways: vasodilation, slows heart rate, and helps to calm kidney and adrenals)

• magenta (a cardiotonic; helps to build up and balance the functional activity of kidneys and
adrenals) on chest and kidneys

• indigo (an astringent, antipyic, antiemetic, and hemostatic) on whole body if tumors found in
chromaffin system, or on kidneys if found in kidneys or adrenals

• blue or green

• green on top of head

• indigo, blue, green, and orange
