-- Red represents physical disabilities.
-- Gold is for neurodiversity.
-- White represents invisible disabilities and disabilities that haven't yet been diagnosed.
-- Blue stands for emotional and psychiatric disabilities, including mental illness, anxiety, and depression.
-- Green is for sensory disabilities, including deafness, blindness, lack of smell, lack of taste, audio processing disorder, and all other sensory disabilities.
