Highway information signs distinctive in color have been proposed for New York's Adirondack Park. Consisting of yellow legends on brown backgrounds, a combination now widely used in the park for non-highway signs, these colors would replace the standard white legends on green or blue backgrounds now used for minor destination (MUTCD Series D 15), parking and rest area (D 30), and miscellaneous information signs (D 61). The first two series are constructed of engineering-grade reflective sheeting backgrounds and legends, while the third uses routed letters on a wooden panel. The visibility, legibility, and aesthetics of yellow-on-brown signs were compared to the standard colors. Comments solicited from drivers during an opinion survey in the park were highly favorable toward the yellow-on-brown signs. A photographic survey indicated that this color combination is aesthetically pleasing in the park's environment. These photos also point out that visibility of any sign color combination is highly dependent on the background against which it is viewed.
