HOA Exterior Color Recommendations
Per the CC&Rs, all exterior paint/stain color schemes for homes in the neighborhood should be in keeping with the general aesthetic of the neighborhood and requires the approval of the HOA Board. The Board recognizes that there are many opinions as to what is acceptable and what is not acceptable and will endeavor to be equitable in the review and approval of proposed colors. All painting projects, even re-painting your home the same color, requires approval.
The HOA Board has created a recommended approved list of exterior paint colors, which can be found at the link below. The list provides Benjamin Moore and fairly equivalent Sherwin-Williams colors.

Homeowners still have the option to submit colors outside of these color recommendations, but the approval process will likely take longer, and will have less chance of being approved. Homeowners can use any paint brand they choose, it does not need to be Sherwin Williams. Please avoid stark or very bright colors/shades, and no glossy paints.
Sherwin Williams has a convenient tool to paint a picture of a house with your selected colors, their ColorSnap Visualizer.
Process to get your exterior house paint color approved:
- Choose colors in-line with the above mentioned color schemes

- Get a URL to view each color on the manufacturer's website

- Once you get approval, you can start your painting project
- If you have to change any colors, you need to notify the board before changing.
