I thought long and hard about 2&3, and I don’t know if you mean an astronaut, a racecar driver, a football player, a soldier, or what. Do you mean “non-matching” as in different colors, different patterns, different fabric? I’m going to go with Darth Vader and David Prowse on the assumption that reflective black and matte black don’t match.
