    Any idea what this green, 1/8" backer board may be? Supplier? (I need four of these 12" x 12" 2-piece blanks if you can make them for me. I'll send drawing)

    Is it possibly Corian, something from a counter shop?? AcrylaStone from PDU might be an option.

    It seems to be some solid color plastic material. Nothing fancy like Corian or Acrylastone. I'm thinking ADA sheet stock may work for this?

    I wondered that too - Rowmark has a pretty wide variety of the ADA Alternative material. The Bahama Blue (3X1-509) looks pretty close to the color you have here.

    These are the two "evergreen" chips from Duets. They sure looked close until they were side by side.

    I assume you have also searched Rowmark, Gravograph, and IPI?

    Yes, the Rowmark 222-912 is pretty close (& I just happened to have a couple in stock). We all agreed that they won't be right next to the existing signs so this will be acceptable. Thanks to all who replied.
