Would’ve been super cool in [complementary colors](https://www.google.com/search?q=complementary+colors+us+flag&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi86O6-p4jcAhUHWqwKHYW2AP4QsAQIVg&biw=836&bih=429#imgrc=Mb8ez6I4onsuMM:). But too much like work.

Just to clarify, the reported post/poster is no longer with us; it’s not **burpo’s** post being referred to. Maybe a mod would want to clean this up and delete my post as well?
