What Color is my Paint?

[zmarkp]

So I live in a Courtyard Villa next to Lake Sumter Landing and I need my perimeter wall painted but can't find out what color it is.

Villages Home Warranty does not have the info. I checked online and called (352.753.6222) but they could only tell me what color my house was but not the outer wall color.

They referred me to Community Standards (352.751.3912) who are looking for the answer but have not gotten back to me.

Home Warranty also referred me to the Development Office (352.875.6219) where I left a message and am waiting.

Home Warranty also said just take a paint chip to the paint store. How do I remove a big enough chip from a stucco wall? Since the paint on my wall is very faded will it match? I asked if the Villages would mind if the new paint wasn't an exact match to the original paint. They wouldn't commit.

So there's my question -- how do I find out the original color of my CYV perimeter wall?

Thanks - Mark

I would get some color sample cards from a paint store and find one that appears to match. Then, buy a small sample jar and apply some to the wall. I have purchased small jars of paint from Lowes for about $1.50.

Try calling Florida Paint in the villages. Give them your address or your house/lot code. They probably the color on file.

OP, are you responsible for the maintenance of the wall? If so, look for an area that is shaded, and borrow a hammer and chisel and chip off some of the stucco. If this is a common wall you may be able to check with a neighbor for a shaded area to get an accurate color. Other option would be to get several of the paint chip cards and hold these up to the shaded area and pick the one that is closest to the color of the wall. Then use that to get the correct paint for stucco. You will also need to get the correct knapp roller for stucco.

Ask some of the neighbors that may have already painted their section

[Papa_lecki]

Go here

https://www DOT thevillageshomewarranty DOTcom/product-search/

Enter your villager ID number and all the selections for your house (even if you are not original owner) can be printed.
If someone changed a wall color, it will not be on here, this is the original stuff.

Thank you for your responses.

Florida Paints has no records since my home was built in 2011.

Villages Home Warranty has no records of the perimeter wall color, either.

I suppose I must now go 'round knocking on doors and asking neighbors if they know.

But really, for a place as organized as The Villages this kind of record-keeping is sadly inept.

I have to take issue with the last line of your post. They don't owe you a color selection 12 years after buying a house. It's not difficult to match an existing color. Any painter could do it.

[Carla B]

In 2011 the paint was probably sold by Color Wheel. I think they went out of business around that time. Sherwin Wms then had their formulas. As of 2016 when we repainted our house they still had the formula for our paint, "Rugged Trail," which we wanted. Recently, they no longer have it. So, as others said, your best bet is probably to ask your neighbors if anyone can come up with a sample or chip.
So, apparently you are responsible for repainting your side of the villa wall? If so, does your villa neighborhood paint the outside and select the color and paint?

[MsPCGenius]

Why not pick a color you like -- something similar to the existing color; submit that to the ARC for approval. Perhaps all this hoop-jumping will be a moot point as they will accept what you submit. Good luck!

I found the color codes for my house (exterior walls and trim) by checking the copy of the house specifications I received at closing.

The OP needs the color for the perimeter wall in his backyard, not the exterior wall of his house.

most village homes are painted from the villages paint. bring a picture and they should be able to identify it. this was what i needed to do when i needed paint as lowe’s wouldn’t even try to match it.

[jamorela]

I live in Richmond Villas off canal in Virginia Trace. I painted mine. Private message me. I will look it up.

[JoelJohnson]

Paint it hot pink ... someone will tell what color it should be. LOL

[Sandy and Ed]

Now I’m confused. I’ve seen the interior walls of CYV painted with beautiful murals and I’ve seen them painted to match the color of their stuccoed house. I understood that what is done behind the walls of your CYV is pretty much open season. I need to have my walls painted and intend to match my house color

I found it. It is Olive Fog 8171 W

Even though it says olive, it is not green by any stretch! PM me if you want to see the color. I dont want to put my address on here.

[Lyn Wagner]

Keep in mind that even if you get the color because of the sun fading the color it will not match anyways. I would say pick a color close and paint the whole wall. Good luck

Really? Take a close-up pic with your phone if you can’t find the code. Don’t destroy your wall. I like Florida Paint suggestion. Unit & lot #s should get it done.

[gwen walker]

Pick a color you like and have it approved

[kar guy]

Call Donna at 3528575300.
She is a color expert and she can help.

[Bridget Staunton]

Make sure you get approval, once painted you cannot remove. The Villages has odd rules and I thought when we had our villa the wall belonged to TV

I had that issue. We took a paint chip from behind the electrical outlet cover. They said it needed to be the size of a dime but ours was a little smaller. Took it to Lowes and they matched it perfectly. I needed some of the standard white, which isn't standard as you think, and they also knew by the year my home was built which white the villages used. They were great. Hope this helps you. BTW, you can also get a sample from beneath a light switch cover.

I don't think the perimeter wall in the backyard has an electrical outlet or a light switch. The wall is not even part of the house.

Try the Florida Paints store on Wedgewood Ln. That is who (so I am told) supplies all the paint for homes in TV. We’ve Been there and they were very helpful.

Just chip off a piece of paint and take it to Lowe’s, they will be able to find the color

[zmarkp]

Thank you to each and every one of you who responded! I now have the exact name and tinting info necessary to remain compliant.

Villagers rock!

Can you please share the match? We have a CYV nearby and also need to paint our perimeter wall soon. Thanks!

[chrisinva]

wow Papa Lecki (#6 comment) is ON TARGET! I just went there & captured all of our info (paint colors, fan models, sink models,, carpet, vinyl info etc. Thanks Papalecki!

1. What Village are you in? If it's not the same as mine the correct color is probably not the same. Feel free to PM me.

2. You should check to see if TV will paint your exterior perimeter wall. Some they will, some not. Mine they won't. You'll need your lot number to find out. Sorry I do not have that website, but I found it after researching painters on ToTV.

3. Have you priced painting your perimeter wall? The proposals I got were very high. The contractor I decided on was about 1/3 of the others. He has done 2 other CYVs here in my Village and they look fine. So far. He's painting my wall this Sunday so I can tell you more after he finishes.

I've found the Villages Offices very accommodating. They wouldn't commit? Perhaps, the person you asked or how the question was worded. I would try asking again. They are not out to get you. "Since, my paint is very faded," newly applied paint will not match faded paint if it is the original color. From a chip off the old wall a paint store that has the proper equipment can produce a very close match to the color it is not the color it was. The match will only be temporary as in the sun the old paint and the new paint will not fade at the same rate.
