The Villages have architectural guidelines and approved paint schemes. Architectural improvements should be submitted in writing to Westwind Client Services or through the Westwind's website through the Member Portal.
Following is a memo on Westwind Letterhead regarding requirements for Roof Replacement, Window Replacement and Exterior Paint Schemes. Please share this memo with your insurance company in the event of a claim and with your contractor(s) who is performing the work on your home.

Paint Color Schemes
Note, the Villages pre-approved paint schemes must be used. HRCA does not set approved paint schemes for our community.
The Villages 2024 pre-approved paint schemes (exterior, trim, and suggested door colors) are now available. Note, the garage door is required to be painted the same color as the body of the house, not the trim color or the front door color.
Paint color schemes (including trim and front door colors) are available from Sherwin-Williams and is on their website. Sherwin-Williams website address is: www.sherwin-williams.com

The staff at Sherwin Williams will be happy to help you.
Touch Up Painting
Touch-up painting is permitted without prior approval when using the home's existing, approved paint color scheme. This applies to limited areas such as trim, garage doors, or sections affected by weather-related elements (e.g., sun fading, water damage, wind/hail damage, tree damage), typically affecting only one side of the home.
Note: Full repainting, changes to the color scheme, or painting of large areas beyond minor touch-up work still require prior written approval through the Architectural Review process.
