Blending in is safe. It’s also invisible.

Matching the room protects you from being singled out, which is a genuine benefit and worth something on a hard week. The bill arrives quietly. Nobody picks the person they cannot distinguish for the team, the part, the shift or the conversation, so the safety turns out to have been paid for in chances you never heard about.

Be identifiable in one small way this week. Ask the question, wear the thing, take the job nobody wanted, finish first. Visible does not require loud, only findable.
