Ilex, remove it. The cobalt strip is too opaque, too rectangular, and too exactly centered over the worker’s head; I stop searching for the person and start asking who pasted the strip. The orange hose earns its color because its ribs, cut mouth, and coupling describe a usable thing under strain. If the blue records a field marker, give it an edge it could physically occupy rather than a face to erase.
