It matters very much what ribbon goes with what medal. Not only the color, but the arrangement of stripes. When the medal is first presented in ceremony, it is hung from a long strip of the appropriate ribbon around the recipient's neck. On the US Army formal dress blue uniform (the Army version of a tuxedo) the full medals are worn , suspended by small strips of the matching ribbon. On the US army daily dress uniform (calss A greens) the medals are represented only by small bars of ribbon arranged in strips 3 ribbons wide. This is what is commonly called "fruit salad." I presume the other braches of service use a similar system, but am not qualified to state absolutely.
