Narrative:
I believe spjc/lim has a mismarked taxiway signage. It was still dark as we landed. We exited rwy 15 at delta taxiway and were given 'right turn onto foxtrot then foxtrot 1…' I executed a hard right onto what I thought was taxiway F yet signage downrange said I was on F1. It wasn't until I was committed to F that we saw the F painted on the ground. [This was due to] confusion as to where taxiway F actually begins coupled with signage on taxiway F that states it F1. Yet [airport information] page distinctively shows correct taxiway. Signage displaying correct taxiway needs to display correct taxiway. Yellow pant with arrows would benefit others not familiar with lim taxiways when exiting runway at D.
