Scheme out of the palette binders:
Palette binders may be reviewed at our office, address below, or at Guiry’s – 16534 Keystone Blvd., Please note the scheme number, color names and color numbers on the submittal form; samples are not required. Also, please be sure to be clear on your submittal form where you would like to use the accent color. It will only be reviewed for use on the front door unless indicated for other locations (fascia, shutters, etc.). Lastly, please include a photo of your home with a general description of where the colors will be placed on your home and the homes on each side of you (links / images from map street views, real estate sites, or similar are not acceptable). Mixing and matching of the schemes is not permitted.

While every effort is made to be sure the binders at the paint stores are up to date, please note that there could be discrepancies between the virtual binders and binders in the stores; the virtual binder contents take precedent over the binders in the stores. Please note that due to individual computer monitor settings, the virtual palette binder colors may not be reflective of actual paint colors. Final scheme selections should be done using the palette binders and / or manufacturers color cards.

Custom scheme:
Please note the manufacturer name, color names and color numbers on the submittal form and provide samples. Hard samples of the proposed paint colors must be a minimum of 3” x 3” and mailed or dropped off at the PCMS address; virtual / scanned samples are unacceptable. Also, please be sure to be clear on your submittal form where you would like to use the accent color. It will only be reviewed for use on the front door unless indicated for other locations (fascia, shutters, etc.). Lastly, please include a photo of your home and the homes on each side of you (links / images from map street views, real estate sites, or similar are not acceptable).

Please note that repainting the home in the exact same colors in their current locations does not require approval but we do ask that you notify our office as such so we many note your homeowner file.

Turnaround time for scheme out of the palette binder is approximately 3 – 5 days from check in. This only applies to schemes exactly as they are shown in the binder.

There are two deadlines per month to submit custom scheme requests for review, the first and third Fridays of the month at noon. The Modifications Committee then tries to get their responses to me by the third Friday of the month or first Friday of the following month, respectively. Please note that while the MC tries to adhere to the noted turnaround time, per the Guidelines they have 45 days to review your request. Once the committee has provided a response, a response letter will be mailed to you and will also be available by logging into your account.
