Perhaps would be a good idea to set up a wiki page for the signs with the
colors and a sample photo?

Here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil they're a rectangle with the street name in
white on blue, and a blue on white stripe with the first and last building
numbers of the block and the street's postcode (which are not like zip
codes, they're different for every single street).
