Terrible Chevrons use white on blue for everything.

The Rebel Arco across the street uses white on blue for regular and green on blue for diesel. (This is the place that is giving you one (1) free chicken strip when you buy $50 in gas.)

7-Eleven with uniform white on black.

Two Rebel 7-Elevens across the street from each other, one with the standard red and green scheme, one with uniform red on black.

So there is much less uniformity in Las Vegas than there seems to be in the central states.

It appears to be pretty easy to find a variety of colors for gasoline, but I have yet to find any sign that doesn't use green in some way for the Diesel price.  The sign posted by |1995hoo| is kind of cheating, though, because everything on it is green.

That was exactly my point. It was in response to the original comment that started this particular subthread, which said that red is used for normal gasoline. My point was that this sign used green for everything, including normal gas. Of course, it would be very easy to conclude that the green is part of BP's desired trade dress (I don't regularly pass any other BP stations to be able to comment on that), but that wasn't the point of why I posted that.
