That would be more welcoming, and it would match the pattern of the floor diagrams, which move from Green to Yellow to Red.

Our zones were 1) Monastery Quiet, 2) Nature Film Narrator Quiet and 3) Nice Restaurant Quiet. Pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bulibraries/2090096946/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bulibraries/2090097064/ Our students responded really well and love the signs. When the email went out to campus with the info, dozens of students emailed the dean of the libraries saying how much they loved the humor of the different zones of quiet, and that they wished the library wrote all of the all-campus emails.
