Written by Ballzer on October 28, 2021
Ever see a blue pumpkin and wonder what it means? Good Housekeeping shared a list, and short descriptions, for each pumpkin color. Keep in mind, there could be multiple meanings behind each colored pumpkin. This is a general description, according to Good Housekeeping.
Teal Pumpkin: Put this on display to alert families that you have alternative treats (toys, stickers, etc.) for kids who can’t have candy.
Purple Pumpkins: Creates awareness of epilepsy and honor those who are living with it.
Pink Pumpkins: Creates awareness for early detection of breast cancer and the continued search for a cure.
Blue Pumpkins: Chosen to represent autism awareness, homes that display a blue pumpkin are pledging to create an inclusive environment for those with sensory sensitivities.
White Pumpkins: Shows support of those who have suffered a pregnancy or infant loss.
Red Pumpkins: Warns people of the dangers of drunk driving, especially on Halloween when children are in the streets.
Yellow Pumpkins: These houses advocate for the disabled, but yellow trick-or-treat bags may also signify that the child needs a little extra compassion.
However you choose to decorate for, or celebrate, Halloween; enjoy and be safe!
