It's seven years old ...

I would try putting it in a little more sun to try and brighten it up before I trashed it.

It's real iffy. It could even be nematodes. August is a bad time to make a diagnosis.

Someone more experienced than me needs to see it.

As far as I can see in the pictures those two leaves in the second picture (at 11 oclock and 7 oclock, though may be oriented differently on your computer/tablet) do resemble HVX infection. Since Color Glory is a common Dutch exported plant it wouldn't surprise me that it could be carrying HVX.

It could be streaking. If you're concerned with virus, test it. That's the only way to know for sure.

On Second thought, I agree with Steve.

I hope you test it, Dave. It is a beautiful hosta and you have invested 7 years into it - worth the cost of a test. It's the best looking virus I've seen, if it's a virus. I'm inclined to think it is sporting into something quite as beautiful as CG. :-)

So what happened? Walmart has 3 for $5 roots. Do I want one?

Personally, I've had terrible luck with Walmart. I avoid their hostas.
