"Road Sign Green" refers to the background color of almost every major
road sign in
North America, a
slightly dark shade of green. Whether you're being welcomed to
Oakville, or
Exit 1 is to the right, or you're driving down
Main Street, or you're 40 miles to
Schenectady, NY, or
Interstate 20 is straight ahead while Interstate 34 curves off to the
left, or the next five exits are for
Rochester, your eyes will meet the
ubiquitous white-on-road sign green.
Yes, there are exceptions. White-on-blue is the
standard for
amenities at upcoming exits. White-on-brown is the standard for
historical sites. And
angry black-on-yellow is standard for warnings such as "left exit". And some
highfalutin' localities use custom street signs, shunning the
simple, aesthetically-pleasing road sign green. These municipalities must be avoided at all
costs.
