California home exterior with charcoal trim

Choose exterior colors in relation to your roof, masonry, landscape and natural light. Confirm any applicable HOA requirements before committing to a new palette.

Look at the whole property

Roofing, brick, stone and paving are part of the color scheme even when they will not be painted. Choose a wall color and trim combination that work with those existing features.

Strong Sacramento-area sunlight can change how a sample appears. View sample colors outdoors in shade and sunlight instead of relying solely on a screen.

Keep approval separate from preference

If your Elk Grove, Folsom or Roseville property has an HOA, request the current requirements and approval process. This guide does not establish rules for any particular neighborhood.

Share the approved palette and the surfaces involved with your painting contractor. Confirm the proposed scope before authorizing work.
