DEN has installed a colored changing light display on Pena Boulevard that is very distracting to aircraft on final; particularly when landing north or perhaps on Runway 7. Multiple [pilots] complained and the Approach Controller also echoed concerns. It is very distracting in low ceiling conditions where the changing color is very reflected by the low clouds.
Air carrier Captain reported being distracted by a lighted sign on a street adjacent to DEN airport.
