Old Glory Blue? American Flag Blue? Let's reflect on all the shades, while a federal judge mulls "aesthetic injury" in Trump's latest decorating flourish.
Federal records show that the no-bid contract to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and paint it blue now costs $13.1 million. That’s about seven times the amount President Trump initially said it would cost.
The Cultural Landscape Foundation, a nonprofit advocacy organization, is asking a federal judge to halt President Trump's plans to resurface the reflecting pool on the National Mall.

President Trump handpicked a firm he said had worked on his swimming pool to repair the iconic site near the Lincoln Memorial.
Some warned that the president’s blue-tinted resurfacing would distort the experience for visitors and make the national symbol resemble a “large lap pool.”
Trump said the project will take about a week and cost approximately $1.5 million.
