I think "exxon blue and radiation rose" represents color and the
flower. I think these colors are chosen to hide the mistakes made by
these two entities. Mistakes were made by Exxon, but those mistakes
were trying to be smoothed over by the color blue. Radiation leaks
are never major and we shouldn't panic as exclaimed by the flower
rose. Since you can't see immediate damage by radiation...hence the
rose is still living, then the leak was a minor problem. We all are
guilty of trying to smooth things over. You know, like little white
lies to your parents.
