Here is a Rare Disease Day style guide, which includes the colours to request and the Rare Disease Day logo. If you have to choose one colour, we suggest the colour blue! It also includes other methods to get involved, that don't include using lights. 

If you can’t see your local landmark on our template, let us know at [email protected].
