Painting

Note:  Prior to painting the outside of your home, all home owners should submit an Architectural Change Request Form.

Colors

• You can choose colors from the pre-approved color package list.

• You can select your own colors and submit for approval to the Architecture Committee.  If you wish to use colors not on the pre-approved list, you must submit samples of the color with your Architecture Change Request.

• When choosing your colors, avoid using the same colors as homes adjacent to yours. 

• The inside of your exterior walls can be painted Frazee Cinnamon Spice or the same as the base color of your house.

• If you have a view fence on your property, it should be painted Frazee Cinnamon Spice

• The connecting walls between your home and a neighbor's home can be painted Frazee Cinnamon Spice or the base color of your house.  You are responsible for painting the half of the wall that directly connects to your home.

• If the connecting wall to your house directly connects to a common wall and not to another home ... we recommend painting your portion of the wall Frazee Cinnamon Spice

• If you have a landscaping wall in front of your property, you should paint this wall either Frazee Cinnamon Spice or the base color of your house.

• You can choose to paint your house in a mono-tone (i.e., one color) or using a base and a trim color.  Trim colors should be coordinated with the base and roof tile color.

Viewing Sample Colors

• The Architecture Committee has a book with pre-approved colors.  Please contact us to access the color book.

Paint Vendor

• Unless noted otherwise, we specify Frazee colors in our guidelines, but you can choose any paint vendor.  All paint vendors will match any other vendors' paint colors.

City of Scottsdale Guidlines

• The City of Scottsdale specifies that the color of outside structures have a maximum Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 40%.  The LRV index can be obtained from the paint manufacturer.

• The City also specifies that the color shall not exceed a number of 6 (on a scale of 1 - 9) for both Value and Chroma as defined in the Munsell Book of Color.  These two indicators of color specify how bright the color is and the intensity of the color.  A number of six for these two parameters can be best described as somewhat subdued.  The community does not have a book of color and paint manufacturers do not typically have this information immediately on hand.  The City keeps a book (it cost several hundred dollars) if you wish to reference it.  For our purposes, we advise home owners to use subdued colors that blend nicely with our surroundings.

Diversity of Colors

• As home owners submit new colors for re-painting, we will be expanding the list of pre-approved colors to develop more diversity within the community.

• Many home owners have added stone fronts to their homes.  Please submit samples of stone before proceeding with any project.

Color Coordination with Roof Tile Colors

• There are several colors of roof tiles within the community.  Refer to the pre-approved paint package list for coordination with paint colors.

• When choosing paint colors, home owners are asked to consider pleasing combinations of base and trim color that complements the roof tile color.
