Angier,

This is what they would site if they think that your "color contrast" is 
inappropriate.

FAR 45.23, 25, 27 & 29 seem to cover all aspects of size and location of 
marks, etc.

But I can't find any reference requiring a particular color contrast between 
the airframe color and the mark color. Do the N Numbers need to be 
visible/distinguishable from a certain minimum distance? Black marks on a 
white airframe might be most visible from a distance compared to light cream 
colored marks on a white airframe.

I plan to have pretty basic contrasting N Numbers on 4ZQ for the inspection 
but what about down the road when I get a bit more creative? I wonder if any 
color combinations have actually been rejected by FAA.
