Fun fact! The reason the demigod camp colors are orange and purple specifically is because those are the ADHD awareness colors!

notice the specific shades? those are our t-shirt colors!

Orange is more common for adhd awareness ribbons (thus why it’s used for CHB, the camp we’re first introduced to), but purple is also sometimes used as well (thus why it’s the color of the second camp introduced)! There are even some ADHD pride flag designs that utilize one or both colors.

I’ve also rarely seen ribbons that combine both colors, with one half being orange and the other half being purple.
