The Teal Ribbon History
The Teal Ribbon History
In 2000, sexual violence coalitions across the country voted to designate the color teal as the official color of Sexual Assault Awareness month and the teal ribbon was adopted as a symbol of awareness and prevention. Teal is associated with trust, devotions, and healing.
Teal is blue/green
Teal is a medium blue-green color, like cyan. Its name comes from that of a bird—the common teal (Anas crecca)—which presents a similarly colored stripe on its head. … It can be created by mixing blue into a green base or deepened as needed with black or gray.
Psychology of Teal: Teal blends blue's tranquil stability with green's optimism and healing properties. Teal is the color of restfulness and mental and spiritual balance. The calm shade has a natural dignity that is not contrived or “in your face.” Teal's understated elegance encourages a calm, reflective mood.
