Building with it

A Dark Oak Sign is the darkest wooden sign, and pale dyed text on it is about as legible as Minecraft gets. Six planks and a stick give three. Signs stop water as well, which is the trick behind dry doorways in underwater builds.

In practice

Signs hold four lines, take dye for the letters and glow ink to stay readable at night. Dark oak gives the strongest contrast with pale text of any wood, which is why it is the usual choice for labels on a storage wall.
