With our experience of over 25+ years, we strive to help you feel comfortable starting an exterior painting project for your home.  In this article, we will explore which exterior paint colors are typically HOA safe and provide valuable tips for selecting the perfect shade that meets your preferences and your community's guidelines. ## HOA Approved Exterior Paint Colors Many HOAs have predetermined lists of approved exterior paint colors or color palettes that homeowners are required to adhere to when repainting their homes.  These color schemes are often chosen to maintain the overall aesthetic cohesion of the neighborhood and uphold property values. Commonly approved colors include neutral tones such as beige, gray, taupe, and off-white, which blend seamlessly with various architectural styles and landscaping. ![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/qSevy7h0avccqI9R5qwnE-KCfEV-v3_5xmSG1-bwpQLbFY59SCEwCCUI3l9HtobPzyGVJoHjP0J0kGE-pLnzHaLd3wgePR9Gfgulc_Khkbzp3XNlIVioXDHb0nG9HMljXCOqwaaA4Aog7hc87Mw9mBI) *Alabaster - SW 7008*   *![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/JY_S0v1qDV0zXpUuGTDfl_xYhVmlwBPI_npIrAREMmvR_GyX_A5WG2GY1c32W6cd7_jrochOUACW3sGslhNSKpDc-IYxj4KOloAZEm7a_oX8ov76eX8s7EyJll_-MB_JHGlpJODOgURDEbTwpn4hdAA)* *Wedgewood Gray - HC 146*   *![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/emKYLw1181X7HKKrd6XDC96__9B3ZvaGNAo6XG5zQskkjHFqsHy0rgjIJM7eo6ypVgQUhtPddB0TmYJttJ4uAQnjE6a2H9irjEb0LT9yKJP3R1S5Z8AzXJRzhKnuQoFkAsGKrJEItJMrcU04pbSZbrM)* *Accessible Beige - SW 7036*   *![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/1w1IiCA2z4GL6cwJA3qC9UYUizo_Z8cRR1StjKbxdCam-qlA91BMQsSG8VAtAwByikcclc7U5a1KmStCukIq_f-RPILp4g9bICwhG5lnhaWqg5cTw0hlPrgFmkMjKWWJuCJ_fVezPXy_vPhg0KZ-0x0)* *Louisburg Green - HC 113*   *![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/Xu2RLj6NtwFUY5fB62DTsshLkGIjnqnzj_fIeNT3x7WjpCIMtxQPS-HD6Nz5iSiue387fzKUsIeaHG5Dp0w_FZbVXIUAlJuOPPfd6OAwOLNU5F5ZfWDqxSrTcryuWPuIRE9esIVSk7_GK9LJtiVbApg)* *Light French Grey - SW 0055* [Check out Sherwin Williams Home Association Color Archive to see color palettes for your neighborhood.](https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/hoa) Before beginning your painting project, it's essential to consult your HOA's guidelines or architectural review committee to ensure compliance with their regulations. Some HOAs may require you to submit a paint color sample or swatch for approval before proceeding with the painting process.  By familiarizing yourself with your HOA's regulations upfront, you can avoid potential disputes and ensure a smooth approval process. ## Tips for Finding the Right Exterior Paint Shade in an HOA Neighborhood ![Light blue painted exterior with darker shutters and white trim. ](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blue%20exterior%202.jpg?width=589&height=390&name=blue%20exterior%202.jpg) - Consider the Surroundings: Take inspiration from the natural surroundings of your home, including the landscape, neighboring houses, and architectural elements. Opt for colors that complement the existing environment rather than contrast it. Also keep in mind that many HOA’s do not allow neighbors to have the same shade, in hopes of creating a neighborhood with variety.  - Sample Test: Before committing to a particular paint color, it's recommended to test several shades on small sections of your exterior walls to be confident in your decision. Observing how the colors appear under different lighting conditions and alongside other elements of your home can help you make an informed decision. - Match with Existing Features: Take into account the color of your roof, windows, doors, and other exterior features when selecting a paint color. Choose a shade that enhances the appearance of these elements rather than competing with them. - Consider Long-Term Maintenance: While bold and vibrant colors may initially appeal to you, it's essential to consider their longevity and maintenance requirements. Many neutral tones typically require less frequent repainting and are less likely to fade over time, saving you time and money in the long run. - Seek Professional Advice: If you're unsure which paint color would best suit your home and also meet HOA requirements, ask your HOA directly or check their guidelines. You can also consider consulting with a professional color consultant or designer. They can offer valuable insights and recommendations based on their expertise and experience with HOAs. ## Pick the Best Exterior Paint Shade For You An exterior painting project in your HOA neighborhood can feel overwhelming, but with the right approach, it's entirely manageable.
