Reccomendations for a twin/full sized comforter or duvet cover that is *cotton* and a darker color?

I'm struggling to find this, especially since I don't shop for bedding often (my comforter lasted me 14 years before finally falling apart) and google searches are so clogged with ads that aren't actually what I'm looking for.

I sleep on a twin sized bed and I'm looking for a new comforter or duvet cover that is a darker color like green or blue (or hey, even both at the same time) that is *also* cotton and not microfiber or similar. I'd even be happy with a polyester cotton blend. But so far everything I can find is either a twin size but microfiber or cotton but doesn't come in twin and/or is like white or light colored.

Maybe I'm just asking for the impossible? Does anyone have any recommendations?

How did individual British and/or entente soldiers signal they were not the enemy?

I'm reading a book about WWI and this question just popped into my head. How did individual British soldiers signal to each other that they were on the same side? Especially in the dark or outside of the trenches? Did they have code words or special hand signals or a whistle sound or something? In my hypothetical situation I'm imagining a lone soldier coming upon either a group or upon another lone soldier and signalling that they're friendly rather than the enemy. Was this even a thing? Would the approacher engage first to establish identity or wait til the other person asked who they were? I'm sure in the daylight you could tell by uniform and then by accent, but it seems like that might be a more difficult thing to suss out in the dark.

2003 Camry has extra unlock beeps / started the car alarm when I unlocked it

This morning when I unlocked my car it beeped a bunch of extra times but did unlock, and then the alarm started going off and wouldn't stop even when I hit unlock on my fob OR the car door. Eventually it shut off automatically. I've noticed the extra beeps when unlocking a few times previously. But the alarm has never gone off before.

Is this a fob issue? Electrical? Some door or trunk door or something not latched? I've never encountered this before.

I have no idea how to describe this visual ASMR effect so I'll just give some example links. I get really nice visual ASMR from items being squeezed and then springing back quickly. The two best examples I have are the first green grid fidget from this ASMRplanet video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szf2-vWL8-s&t=313s and this bizarre not-ASMR-related gif I stumbled upon on tumblr once (warning for just the most surreal image you'll ever see): https://www.tumblr.com/fruitsoftheweb/166587754276/pigsquashcapturegif With that second one I think it's something about the ability to "see" the thud. If that makes any sense at all whatsoever.

I've never really been able to find anything similar because I have no idea what to search or how to describe it. Also, if anyone knows what that green fidget grid thing is called and if there are any other ASMR videos out there with it, please link me!
