Lawn marker lettering must be in what color relative to the sign?

• A. In white on white.
• B. In the same color as the sign.
• C. In a contrasting color.
• D. In any color chosen by the property owner.

Answer: (C)

Readability and visibility of lawn marker lettering. The lettering must stand out from the sign so people can read it quickly from a distance or while passing by. Using a color that contrasts with the sign’s background ensures the information is legible and catches attention, which is important for safety and regulatory compliance. White on white would be unreadable, and making the letters the same as the sign or allowing any color chosen by the property owner could fail to provide the necessary contrast. So, the required standard is a color that contrasts with the sign.
