Exterior color schemes must be selected • based on the historic-based, regionally- relevant, architectural style of your home. Avoid “trendy” colors … for they will • soon be outdated. Just because someone else in the • community has a color scheme you like, doesn’t mean that color scheme will work for your home. Don’t attempt to use your interior color • scheme on the exterior of the home.
Step 2 Understand How Exterior Colors Work
• Don’t believe what you see on the small color chip. • Realize that colors “amplify” in the desert sun. • Use colors that are darker, duller and more earthy than you think. • No “White” Colors with an LRV of more than 76. • Dark Colors with an LRV of 15 or less will fade and chalk much more quickly in the desert sun. • Consider how adjacent colors impact each other. • Seek professional advice. • Picking the wrong color for interior rooms is not a big deal. Picking the wrong color for the exterior of your home could be a disaster. •

If you want to change any exterior color, you must submit to Design Review for review and approval BEFORE you paint.
