Are you talking about esophageal cancer? Esophageal cancer has a Periwinkle ribbon and Melanoma has an Orange ribbon. Hope this helps!

It doesn't list throat cancer. But it also doesn't list lung cancer, so it doesn't appear complete. The Trinity London site and the Pin People site also have black for melanoma, and "pearl" (opalescent?) for lung cancer. Purple is the color for cancer survivors, but would be more appropriate for your parents than for you. That tattoo is really a lovely idea... I'm sure you'll come up with whatever is just right for you, and no matter what it is, your parents should feel honored by the fact that you did it.
