Carved, orange pumpkins are the traditional decoration of choice for front porches all over the United States. Recently however, the festive decoration has been sporting a different color in front of some houses.
Teal pumpkins have become a more common sight on Halloween, USA Today reported. As part of the Teal Pumpkin Project, the greenish-blue decorations are an indication that a house has goodies other than candy to give out to accommodate those with food allergies.
The Teal Pumpkin Project was started in 2014 and is promoted by the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) organization. According to their website, the project was inspired by a local awareness activity run by the Food Allergy Community of East Tennessee. The color teal was appropriately chosen, as it is the color that represents food allergy awareness.
