This is exciting news for Ovarian Cancer Canada as teal (a close match to turquoise) is the official colour of ovarian cancer. Pantone states that turquoise symbolizes deep compassion and healing, two things we hold close to our heart.
With turquoise being the colour of the year, this provides us with the perfect opportunity to continue to create awareness about ovarian cancer, the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers. Celebrate our colour throughout 2010 – wear it often, tell your friends and paint your town teal!
