What Color is Mens Health Awareness

The official color for Men's Health Month is blue, specifically represented by a blue ribbon. This color is used to raise awareness and encourage men to prioritize their health and well-being, especially during "National Men's Health Week" and "Wear Blue Day". 


Here's why blue is used:   


  • Symbolism: Blue represents the colors associated with several health conditions that primarily affect men, such as testicular cancer, stroke, lung cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and prostate cancer. 
  • Raising Awareness: The blue ribbon is a visual reminder of the importance of men's health and encourages people to take steps to stay healthy. 
  • Community Engagement: Wearing blue and displaying the #ShowUsYourBlue hashtag on social media can help raise awareness and encourage conversations about men's health. 
  • National Men's Health Month and Week: June is recognized as Men's Health Month, and the Friday of Men's Health Week is "Wear Blue Day," where people are encouraged to wear blue to show support.
