Exit Signs are signs that show that an exit is nearby or label an exit. Exits can lead to various places. Exit signs have different colors that mean different things can happen when you go through the exit. Some levels have a color tint, making it harder to distinguish color of the exit signs.

Types of Exit Signs:
Label Exit Signs:
Example of a Label Exit Sign
These exit signs indicate that the door close to them is an exit. Exit doors can be unlabelled.
Trail Exit Signs:
Example of an Exit Sign Trail
These exit signs mean that another trail exit sign is nearby. Following the trail will eventually bring you to a leading exit sign, or the wrong way exit sign. These signs can also sometimes have a direction written on them, which guarantees them to lead to the leading exit sign, unless it is a trick.
Leading Exit Signs:
Example of a Leading Exit Sign
These exit signs are sometimes at the end of a trail. These exit signs don't label exits, but indicate that an exit is nearby.
Wrong Way Exit Signs:
These exit signs have a similar feel to the leading exit sign, but do not indicate that an exit is nearby. These signs can be found by going in the wrong direction of the trail. You can distinguish them from leading exit signs by them not having any door nearby.
Directional Exit Signs:
Example of a Directional Exit Sign
These exit signs show the direction you need to go to in order to find the exit. They are usually combined with leading, trail, and wrong way exit signs.
Pointless Exit Signs:
These exit signs are just random exit signs around the level that mean nothing. They can also take form of trail and directional exit signs that don't lead to an exit.
Colors of Exit Signs:
Red:
The most common color. These exit signs lead to trap rooms, dangerous levels, and torture levels. However, everything is possible in the backrooms so some red exit signs can lead basically anywhere. DO NOT FOLLOW THESE EXIT SIGNS, unless it leads to a safe level.
Location: Majority of the backrooms. In Level 444, all exit signs are red.
Green:
These exit signs are less common. These exit signs lead to relatively safe levels. You should follow these exit signs unless you want to exit to a different level. Green exit signs always have a 0.01% chance to lead to The Frontrooms.
Location: Rarely appear on Level 2 and Level 3. On other levels, they are unconfirmed.
Blue:
These exit signs have been reported, however, they are unconfirmed. Where they lead to is unknown.
Location: Have been reported across the backrooms but they are extremely rare.
Purple:
This exit sign only appears on Level 777.2 and leads to Level 777.3.
Location: Only appears at the end of the hallway in Level 777.2.
Blurple
This exit sign is created when a blue exit sign somehow noclips into Level 777.2 and merges with the purple exit sign, creating a burple exit sign. This rare event first happened on the 24th of June 2021. This exit sign leads to some sort of discord level.
Location: When blue exit signs somehow noclips into Level 777.2, the exit sign will be blurple instead of purple.
