How do I determine the ARC approved colors for my home?

Q:  How do I determine the ARC approved colors for my home?

A:  When your home was built, a specific “Color Package” was assigned to your home.

To determine which Color Package applies to your home there is a simply three step process,

1. Click on the ”Color Package/ Address” link below and locate your address. On that line, you will see the Color Package and Model of your home.

2. Then click on the “Color Matrix” link below that applies to your style home (i.e. Aluminum [Vinyl] or Cedar).  Then, locate the line that shows your “Color Package”. You will then see the Sherwin Williams color codes that apply to the item you are interested in addressing.

3. The Sherwin-Williams colors were established when the homes were originally constructed. Unfortunatley, many of them are now obsolete. However, Sherwin-Williams can still mix those colors from their formulas.  Sherwin-Williams has created a table that can be used to cross-reference many of the original colors/numbers with the new replacement colors/numbers for which there are color chips available. For color chips for the remaining colors,  simply ask the Sherwin-Williams store to show you the color chips using their “ColorAnswers” book.  This table can be viewed by clicking on the link below.

Please remember that you are required to seek ARC approval when painting or making any other changes to the exterior of your home.
