Signpost Colors

Beginning with the release of MutiNet 3.6, sign colors are explicitly identified so that developers can properly represent sign coloring specific to each country or region. The following attributes are used to distinguish signpost colors:

• FI - Color Palette Identifier;
• FA - Background Color;
• FX - Text Color;
• FB - Border Color.

The values for the color attributes are defined in MultiNet in decimal values. The decimal values need to be converted to hex, and then hex to color. See example below. Segmented attribute record 44 holds the sign color information.

For the above example, the following would be the GDF representation:

• FI = Color Palette Identifier = 216001001;
• FA = Background Color = 88831 = 015AFF = blue;
• FX = Text Color = 16777215 = FFFFFF = white;
• FB = Border Color = 16777215 = FFFFFF = white.
