I'm fine with the bright colors. Won't fly in my neighborhood, but that's my problem - not yours. Seems like the address numbers might be obscured by the box when viewed from the street. Maybe move them down the post?
I mostly agree with Joe. I don’t care for the bright colors, but that just means I won’t put those colors on my own mailbox. What you put on yours is up to you.
I agree that the numbers might be tough to see with their placement, but I bet even lower on the post the narrow stroke width makes them hard to see from any distance. That’s why the ADA even specifies stroke width as a fraction of character size (width, if I recall…my cert has expired) in accessible signage.

P.S. What’s with the “pre-moderation” button?

It's a new feature added during one of the last forum updates. I'm not sure why or how it is supposed to be used. It showed up in my admin access version where I could delete, skip, or approve it.
Hmmm. The more I learn, the more I realized how much I don't know!
