Palette binders may be reviewed at the Creekside Rec Center or Guiry’s – 16534 Keystone Blvd., Parker 80134. 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 and the homes on each side of you (links / images from map street views, real estate sites, or similar are not acceptable).

While every effort is made to be sure the binders at the rec center are up to date, please note that there could be discrepancies between the virtual binders and binders at the rec center; the virtual binder contents take precedent over the binders at the rec center. 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.

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 mailed or dropped off, address below; 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 be aware that it is encouraged that the body color of the home have an LRV of 20 or above. LRV ratings below 20 for the Body Color of your home may not be approved. The LRV is a measurement that tells you how much light a color reflects and absorbs. LRV runs on a scale from 0% to 100%. Zero assumed to be an absolute black and 100% being an assumed perfectly reflective white.

Repainting of the home with the same color scheme, in the same locations, as is currently on the home (like for like) does not require approval.

There are two deadlines per month to submit for custom schemes, the first and third Fridays of the month at noon. The Architectural Committee then tries to get their responses to me by the third Friday of the month or first Friday of the following month, respectively. You should then receive your response letter a day or two after that. Please note that while the AC tries to adhere to the noted turnaround time, per the Guidelines they have 45 days to review your request. All response are mailed and will also be attached to your account.
