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 2026 pre-approved paint schemes (exterior, and trim) 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.
 
These options are available for viewing on the Sherwin-Williams website, www.Sherwin-Williams.com. Please note there is a minor error in the community location, as Sherwin-Williams has listed the schemes under Littleton instead of Highlands Ranch. Sherwin Williams is amending the website but until that is completed, please use the link below:

Below are the 2026 Paint Schemes - note the colors on the form may be different than the actual color and the Architectural Group suggests you visit the Sherwin Williams Paint store at 1265 Sgt Jon Stiles Drive, Highlands Ranch, CO (by the Target Store on K Castillo Way  Highlands Ranch Parkway) to pick up any color swatches which will give you a better idea of the paint colors. 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.

If you decide to stain your fence below is the approved stain color:
