Suffragists used gold pins, ribbons, sashes, and yellow roses to symbolize their cause. Gold also signified enlightenment, the professed goal of the mainstream U.S. suffrage movement. A second color theme was the use of the tricolors purple, white, and gold. The nearly 100,000 women who marched in Washington, D.C. in 1978, in support of the Equal Rights Amendment, wore white, with pins, sashes, and ribbons of green, purple, and gold. Green and white are the colors of the National Organization for Women.
Lavender is a color associated with lesbian, and other woman-identified women.
