Eric - you'll find the color of paper on which to print the sign(s)
noted in the small instructional print - either at the bottom of the
"fill-in-the-blank" area or at the bottom of the sign itself.

My bet is that not many will pay attention to the paper color, and still do
OK. The MOST important thing is that your sigh should be a full page of
paper, and the letters should be solid, and as large as possible and still
fit on the page.

The guy trying to read the sign wants to be able to read what it says from a
great distance back, through your window, with the sun glaring off of it, so
he can point you in the right direction. The problem comes when people
realize they don't have a sign, and at the last moment take a pencil and
scribble the letters 4 inches high, and then get mad when you make them
stop, or point them in the wrong direction. Get it? g

No mention of any colors required he

Looks like big block letters on a white background...
Looks like Jim's are all dated from last year. Did something change?

Looks like you noticed something.

Jim (I'm guessing) got his from EAA last year, and they were trying the
colors. I did not notice many people using the colors last year, so they
probably just gave up on colors for this year, since nobody used them,
anyway.
