I always thought it was a white background with red or black letters.
I know the law is pretty particular about how businesses can ban guns. It has to be a certain size, posted in a conspicuous place, in both english and spanish, have specific legal language and certain other things.
Reason I ask, is because the 30.06 posting in Katy Leftist Mills mall has a blue background with red or white letters. Does this legally ban me from carrying?
Memorial City Hosptial has a 30.06 posting in granite stone. Is that legal?
(BTW, what prompted this post was that I went to see a movie there at KLM at the request of my father this weekend and had to leave my gun in the car. I normally patronize their businesses, but dad wanted to go at that time. We went to see Rescue Dawn. GOOD movie. End commercial)
What color does the 30.06 posting have to be?

The law does not specify colors.
However, as someone always says, who wants to be a test case?

I don't think letters chiseled in stone qualify as "contrasting colors" unless the interior of the letters is painted or something like that.(3) "Written communication" means:
(A) a card or other document on which is written language identical to the following: "Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (concealed handgun law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun"; or
(B) a sign posted on the property that:
(i) includes the language described by Paragraph (A) in both English and Spanish;
(ii) appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and
(iii) is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.
