Colors, Colors, Colors
We all must obey the rules on the house colors that are allowed in our neighborhoods. As an observation, has anyone else looked at the house colors in the new Village of Hawkins? While not claiming to be an artist, it looks like the houses in that village have a rainbow of colors. When repainting, I wonder if any color goes will be in effect.
 Some of my friends have said that after viewing the house colors in our neighborhood, they all seem to be muted and bland. I would not say that about the Hawkins house colors.

Wow. Those are definitely different than the north homes. A matter of taste, I suppose.

Sign of the times, some of the interiors are a little different also but they are selling like hotcakes. Who would have thought they would be selling 900 sq. ft. patio villas with no garage and no lanai for $180,000.00? Same with new cars, orange, lime green, all colors of the rainbow are popular again as they were pre 1980's not just white, black, silver and gold colors anymore.

All those are CYVs, but the newer style with the garage on the front. Our CYV community was built in 2011 and 2015 we submitted a petition to ARC to be able to change our colors. All the villas were a pale yellow when new. Since the petition was approved, we have 21 choices we can use. About half, maybe 40 have changed colors. It's really just them getting ahead of the game and giving the customers what they want.
My home use to be pale yellow, and in 2019 I had it changed to dark green, big difference. I never like the original color, problem solved. They'll probably be able to repaint in any of the colors in that community, which is great. |

I like the different colors. I noticed in the village right after you come over the Chitty Chatty Bridge (Bradford?) almost all the designer homes are gray. Is that because the owners chose the color or because that is what the builders are painting them?

I never have given much thought to what other people chose for the colors of their homes. Most of those new colors aren't what I would choose, but I might quite well enjoy them in my neighborhood on someone else's home.
I remember the first time I saw a Plymouth Prowler telling whomever I was with that "I wouldn't own that, but I think it's really cool that I get to look at it driving down the road." I think in all of the years I've been walking the earth I have seen one house, back up north in a town I lived in long ago, that I would have been marginally unhappy had my next door neighbor chosen that color. But I probably would have become used to it and if it bothered me it wouldn't have been for long. |

In a lot of the neighborhoods between 466A and CR44, The Villages allowed the homeowners to make most of the decisions about what their house was going to look like(more custom builds) and consequently most people picked the more popular(at that time) neutral muted colors like the khaki and sand colors. South of CR44 The Villages didn't allow those choices as much and began mixing up the colors to create I think more visually interesting neighborhoods. I think it has made these neighborhoods much more appealing although I agree with some people posting that some of the colors like the baby blue are kinda iffy.
