You find me irreverent? Hm. Well, I suppose it depends what you mean by 'irreverent': I've always been quite serious about somethings and rather less impressed with others. Those opinions have not always coincided with others' ideas, though I'd have said that in all important respects I have my priorities in order. A certain brother of mine would disagree with that, of course, and Mother would only grudgingly agree these days. That's why I say it comes down to what you mean when you use the sort of loaded terms that people use when passing judgement.
And so, of course, it depends what you mean by 'clash': I suspect for Slytherin it meant 'red, gold, blue, and yellow are gauche and must never, NEVER be paired with silver, green, or black--most especially the red and the gold.'
Still nothing to report on Salazar's Chamber. Last night's chapter was all about his special affinity for serpents. Of all types and sizes. Apparently he had a special suit of mail made in which the links were made to resemble scales; it reportedly allowed him freedom of movement that was unheard of in armour because the whole thing could move in the same sinuous, smoothly undulating snakes do. I can't imagine why it didn't catch on.
