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.

Our CYVs rejected the petition to change colors from pale yellow. Thankfully, as I would hate to look out our patio door at a dark green wall. Hideous.

There probably wouldn’t be no dark green allow. Most in north are tired of some old color for each house. Quit few are allowing certain colors but nothing like new one down south.

I like them all. They are quite up to date and in beautiful taste. They lend themselves to the small homes and look very cottagy and pretty. In my opinion. The people who do the colors and plan the interiors do an excellent job. We saw the model home of the Seabrook, completely done in Bridgeport at Laurel Valley and we signed to have one built there completely duplicating the finishes of the model. They would not duplicate the exterior because it was in sight of the model.

We have always been pleased with those design choices. It will soon be ten years. Time to perhaps change out the light fixtures and some other things, so no one will think we are OLD people and not in sync with the trends, if they visit.

As someone who has recently started to look into TV, I can say that I like these floor plans, the driveways and the fenced in yards. The exterior colors are quite bright but I've noticed this sort of color scheme in some of the other new communities (like Margaritaville). When we manage to get a block of time to visit TV we'll definitely check these homes out.

Also, noting that while the color schemes are similar to other new communities going up, the fenced backyards that the TV models offer make these models stand out from the others. I really like this design a lot.

When you see which homes don’t sell, color has a lot to do with it too. Especially on the inside. One reason I bought my home in TV because of the suddenly pleasant surprise to have a crocodile green, or palm green living room (original color). Never would I have thought.... There are color blind people, but not that many. As far as young people go, how young? My kindergarten children absolutely preferred the very intense primary colors. Then they get older. Rainbow hair used to be my teen’s favorite, then she got older. So it goes.

Most of us felt changing colors was a great idea, pale yellow gets tiresome quick.

Here was my before photo, this was in 2013 so the yellow faded even more until we repainted the new color in 2019.



Here's our new color, you see the yellow on the house next door. So far 8 homes chose green, 6 chose gray, 6 chose cream, about 20 chose some shade of brown, from tan to dark brown. The choses for Brown was endless. The dark brown is my least favorite. I wanted a color that was the most different, and green was it, I ended up hating yellow.

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.

That is noise resistant paint because of proximity to the turnpike

There is a black house in those areas so I guess anything goes.

Love the green! So colorful, not the drab pale colors we usually see here, which to me look "tired". Plus having a CYV it sticks out more and not cookie cutter. Good choice!

[talktome]

I agree with you Gracie girl! Love them all.

[ChicagoNative]

I like the updated bolder colors. They are much more pleasing to my eye than the “50 shades of beige” used everywhere else.

[Dendrn]

We were shocked by colors. I find it cheapens neighborhood. Landscaping will enhance "bland color"you don't need a bold dark color to add interest. Lets see what they think in 2 years when all the fading occurs.

[Laurawilcox]

I am surprised to say that I think the color looks great from your pictures. Blends wonderfully with your landscaping. That’s probably the most important aspect, the blending across a neighborhood.

I agree with you Velvet. I want to see some pretty coastal colors inside of the house, too. Blue, yellow, sea green maybe paired with fresh white kitchen cabinets. A more tropical color scheme like palm green and peach might work, too.
