I think traditionally, the awareness colour was periwinkle blue, which is in the blue/lavender spectrum. Some people see it as purple, some as blue.

The Sjogren's Foundation is promoting a "Go Bold Blue" campaign, one part of which is to consider "dressing down in blue jeans", so blue is the easiest interpretation of the colour, I would guess.

Maybe because lupus is purple? Maybe because Sjogren's is pretty close to lupus and they are often bunched together, so people include it under the lupus ribbon. Don't know, just making a guess....
