Should the Color of Gas Price Changers Be Standardized? Voice Your Opinion
Skyline Products’ conducts a research study to analyze the correlation between fuel commodities and gas price sign colors.
Colorado Springs, Colo. – Skyline Products, a leading manufacturer of electronic fuel price signs has launched a research project designed to explore the commonalities and correlations between the use of gas price changer colors and fuel commodities sold.
“Skyline manufactures thousands of gas price signs annually – many of which share some long-standing color schemes while others feature unique branding,” said Chip Stadjuhar, President and CEO of Skyline Products. “For example, the majority of LED and scroll price digits manufactured utilize green for diesel and red for unleaded – but retailers are free to use colors at their own discretion. Additionally, as new commodities are introduced our retailers ask us for advice on what new colors resonate with the retail customer.”
Skyline Products is conducting a survey to not only gauge what the entire market is using – but to capture retailers’ opinions on if there is a benefit to adopting some type of industry standard. Early indications from the survey show that about 60% of fuel marketers are in favor of standardized colors for specific fuel commodities. Additionally, Skyline will also poll retail consumers to determine if color correlations impact their recognition of fuel type sold and buying decisions.
