Speaking of "in" colors...

Orange seems to have made a dramatic exit from the Department of Homeland Security's palette since, oh, fall of 2004 or so. From the DHS website:

Call me a cynic, but I suspect that the looming midterm elections will soon bring out prominent retro fashionistas again displaying large swaths of orange.
