OK, now that we know National Coming Out Day rates a full-on rainbow light show for the Duke Energy Building, as determined by light-switch controller Wells Fargo, what else should get the treatment? Glad you asked:
- Oct. 24th — United Nations Day — light blue
- Halloween — black and orange
- Election Day — yellow (caution)
- Divali — many sparkling lights
- Veterans Day — red, white, and blue
- Hanukkah — blue
- Christmas — green and red
- Kwanzaa — green, red, and black can it do that?
- New Year’s — strobe
- Epiphany — gold
- MLK Day — tough one, have to come back to it
- Groundhog Day — dark on one side, light on the other
- Chinese New Year — red and yellow
- Valentine’s Day — pink
- Mawlid al-Nabi — green
- St. Patrick’s Day — green and orange
- Holy Thursday-Good Friday-Easter — purple
- Earth Day — green and blue
- May Day — red
- Cinco de Mayo — red, white, and green
- Armed Forces Day — red, white, and blue
- Memorial Day — red, white, and blue
- Flag Day — can it do a flag motif?
- Stonewall Rebellion Day — rainbow
- Independence Day — red, white, and blue
- Lammas — yellow, orange, and red
- Yom Kippur — blue
There, that seems a pretty decent start.
