House Paint Colors

Posted on: April 26th, 2024

Many homeowners struggle with finding paint colors for both the exterior and interior of their homes. Over ten years ago the community engaged Sherwin Williams to look at each home in the community and identify the exterior paint colors. We maintain paint color books by developer at the Sherwin Williams store on El Camino Real in Encinitas. In addition, Keystone Pacific, our property manager, has a complete set of books. The books are in the process of being updated to reflect all of the homes repainted since the beginning of 2020. We expect that this update will be completed this summer.

If you need to or are considering repainting the exterior of your house you should refer to the Exterior Paint Guidelines on the community website at:

Please keep in mind that there are no pre-approved exterior paint colors or paint color schemes. 

If you need assistance or ideas with selecting interior or exterior paint colors you might want to visit the Sherwin Williams website:

On their website you can sign up to receive regular newsletters from their ‘Paint Perks’ application. It is great way to understand and visualize new trends and colors.
