Colors associated with progressive causes

(I'm cranking out pussyhats and putting them in my Etsy store). Since I have yarn other than pink, I'm making hats with that too. In terms of marketing them, is there any progressive causes that I should put in the description?

The only ones I can think of are green for environmental (or weed) and rainbow for LGBT.

We need a summer modification to the hat. But I like the green - for both reasons you listed. TrekLuver Feb 2017 #11

We used to have yellow dog dems and stuff. I would make one in each color and see if they sell. I bet you could get republican women to buy red ones if you put them out there. It seems like the pibk is a solidarity thing to me though. It was nice seeing that sea of pink hats.

Every hat I've done this week is pink. I'm just looking at a pile of yarn I already have and seeing if I can cash in.

that is charcoal with a pink stripe. That is my dream hat. I'm a white, middle-aged male, and I can't get away with full on pink. I can, however, pull off charcoal with a pink stripe.

And, to be quite honest here, I think that a lot more men would want a pussy hat if they were in a neutral color. As long as there are ears and a little pink, I'm down.
