I have the following code to draw a number of colored lines.
Instead of having straight lines I would like to draw a barber pole containing the five colors in the thin stripes.



Note that I'm not looking for anything 3D, just diagonal stripes.
like so ///////

I have the following code to draw a number of colored lines.
Instead of having straight lines I would like to draw a barber pole containing the five colors in the thin stripes.



Note that I'm not looking for anything 3D, just diagonal stripes.
like so ///////



This would look something like this:



enter image description here



How do I do this?

It is absolutely straightforward to achieve something of this sort. Notice, however, that the only thing I am using from your nice MWE are some colors. This is because I do not know what role the barber pole should play.

        It is absolutely straightforward to achieve something of this sort. Notice, however, that the only thing I am using from your nice MWE are some colors. This is because I do not know what role the barber pole should play.



        documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
        definecolor{pink}{RGB}{255,128,128}
        definecolor{light-gray}{gray}{0.98}
        definecolor{darkgreen}{RGB}{0,64,0}
        definecolor{lightgray}{gray}{0.75}
        definecolor{lightred}{RGB}{255,160,160}
        definecolor{lightblue}{RGB}{200,200,255}
        definecolor{lightgreen}{RGB}{170,255,170}
        definecolor{lightyellow}{RGB}{255,255,160}
        definecolor{pink}{RGB}{255,128,128}
        definecolor{lightpurple}{RGB}{255,180,255}
        definecolor{greenblue}{RGB}{180,255,255}
        definecolor{lightorange}{RGB}{255,200,180}
        definecolor{yellowgreen}{RGB}{230,230,180}
