Colors of the Sufferer's Rainbow
#9
I got the colours of the flag, but there's just no concrete image to make me (personally) think of the flag. Even just the inclusion of the word "fabric" would have made it solid to me, but nothing distinguishes the colours from being on a painting, a stained glass window, or a flag. That's my issue there. I think of a flag as the physical object, not the image that it bears.

My misinterpretation, which assumed a typo to make syntactic sense, but still lacks some semantic sense:
He reaches up to wipe some off; his face and his hand comes back red and grey.

Also, I'm not sure I would use "grey" as something bittersweet. I typically think of grey as the blur between right and wrong - black and white.
If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.
