1. #0066ff

   

   Blue Ribbon Color

   First place at a county fair earns a blue rosette, and this saturated cobalt is roughly that shade. Blue Ribbon color hex code #0066ff has the punch for awards graphics and little else. At full strength it overwhelms most palettes.

2. #bd273a

   

   Ribbon Red Color

   The red ribbon became the symbol of HIV and AIDS awareness in 1991, when New York artists with Visual AIDS started handing them out. Ribbon Red, #bd273a, is a deep cherry red with a slight blue edge. It’s about right for that grosgrain loop pinned to a dark lapel.

3. #ed0a3f

   

   Red Ribbon Color

   Every kid with a crayon box has held this red, since #ed0a3f is the hex Wikipedia gives for Crayola’s plain Red, made since 1903. I couldn’t find Red Ribbon as an official Crayola name, but the Red Ribbon color is that same punchy, faintly pink red. At a U.S. county fair, a red ribbon means second place, which feels unfair to such a confident shade.

4. #288f3d

   

   Green Ribbon Color

   Green ribbons are worn for organ donation and mental health awareness. Green Ribbon color (#288f3d) is a bright forest green near CSS forestgreen (#228b22). It looks like satin ribbon on a gift and stays vivid in shade.

5. #484c51

   

   Black Ribbon Color

   Black Ribbon is a dark cool gray with a blue lean, closer to gunmetal than true black. Blue at 81 edges red at 72, and that small gap is enough to cool it. Warm light turns it charcoal brown, like a satin ribbon in candlelight.
