of those school signs? I know they have a specific name. They're not quite yellow and not quite green. I know, I know - in the scheme of things, this isn't important, but I'm curious.

I've never seen any of the green ones the ones up the street from my house are yellow. Just wish the speed demons would not fly down the street at 60MPH, no matter how much you scream at them they just ignore you.
