Wait...they painted the Reflecting Pool?

For a brief moment in 2026, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool became the center of a national conversation after a restoration project left the water a vivid shade of green.

As the 'American Flag Blue' coating began peeling and algae changed the water's appearance, the story spread across news outlets and social media, turning an unexpected maintenance issue into one of the year's most talked-about preservation mishaps.

Today, we've immortalized the moment with a commemorative collectible.
