whiteIn California, the color of a regulatory sign is:Black and White
The color combination used for regulatory signs typically includes the colors white, black, and red. White is used for the background of the sign, black is used for the text and symbols, and red is used for the border and some text or symbols to indicate a prohibition or danger.
Black and white regulatory signs in the United States denote U.S. highways. Black and white regulatory signs also denote speed limits posted. Some states also use black and white signs for their particular state highways.
Regulation or regulatory signs are the signs along the highway that are black and white in color. Think of speed limit signs. These signs indicate a law or regulation, whereas yellow signs are cautionary signs. They indicate a possible hazard or danger. Brown signs or green signs are generally information, blue indicate travel services or accomodations.
The correct answer is NO. A stop sign is considered a Regulatory Sign. Regulatory signs are typically the colors black, white, and/or red. Regulatory signs regulate traffic and tell a driver about a law. Examples include speed limits, yield signs, one way streets, do not enter signs, no turning, no parking, and (yes) stop signs. A warning sign, on the other hand, is typically diamond-shaped and the color yellow, orange or pink. They warn you of possible changes in the use or condition of the roadway ahead. A stop sign is not warning you to stop. It is TELLING you to stop because that is the law.
Regulatory signs carry a legal penalty. Advisory signs do not. For example, a black and white speed limit sign is regulatory, and you can be fined for violating it. A yellow ramp speed sign is advisory and simply a safety device.

Red is often used for warning signs because it is a color that naturally grabs attention and is associated with danger or emergency situations. Blue, on the other hand, is more commonly used for informational or regulatory signs to convey a sense of calm and authority.
