    It seems that the turquoise stripe was dropped, …“to create an even number of stripes for display on each side of the streetlamps on Market Street for the 1979 Gay Freedom Day parade.”

    The pink was due to availability by the Paramount Flag Company when they started being made beyond what could be handmade.

      I knew it was one of the colors that was dropped for the street lamps! Thanks for the clarification
