Thanks to a few very honest visitors who educated me, I’m here to tell you that the “proper” hues for the bracelets are:

Red – pro-ana

Purple (not blue) – pro-mia

Black & Blue – self-mutilation (such as cutting)

Of course, I’m not advocating the wearing of such jewelry.  But I think awareness of the silent signals that pro-anas and pro-mias use to identify each other could be useful to parents.
