Default Recommendation for Patriotic boro colors?

Living here in Texas I am getting requests for stuff with the "Texas colors" on it. I thought they were the same colors as the US colors, but apparently I was wrong. I would like to use non transparent colors if possible, but I can always back the transparent colors with white it necessary. Specifically, I am looking for a red, white, and blue that will look nice on the surface. I am ready to order some more white rod as well, and the last batches of both GA sno white, and NS star white I came accross had lots of bubbles in the rods. The egyptian white sand has been much better, but it is not white so it won't work.

Thanks,

Eric

Parramore white is the best. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll get you some. Boro bars white works well too, but they are only 4" long.

GA Red Crayon and Lapis Blue are the colors that come to mind for "patriotic" colors.
