Yesterday’s answer:

D   Red, Green, and Yellow

During the Utah Pioneer Jubilee of 1897:   The business district was transformed by 10,000 lamps. There were lights on each side of Main Street, extending to Third South, which was as bright at night as it was at noonday. The streets were illuminated from 8:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. during each night of the celebration.

Individual businesses installed lighted displays in their storefronts and festooned their enterprises with Chinese lanterns, American flags, and thousands of yards of bunting. The street was transformed into an avenue of swaying arches, fluttering streamers, and festive facades. One wholesaler stocked 30,000 yards of patriotic bunting, and another purchased 35,000 yards in the Jubilee colors of red, green, and yellow, as well as 25,000 yards of red, white, and blue. In each case, the entire stock was sold by the end of the day. From figures furnished by jobbers, at least 210,000 yards of bunting were used for decorations.
