Color schemes are crucial in defining the atmosphere of HOA communities. We're witnessing a significant shift in the color palettes preferred by these communities, and we couldn't be more excited about it. Traditionally, Colorado's landscape has influenced color choices, with warm and neutral tones like beige, brown, rusty red, and tan dominating. However, a noticeable change is underway, with earthy neutrals and cooler tones such as grays, greens, creams, blues, and other cool hues gaining traction. This shift is evident with Sherwin Williams announcing Upward, a chill blue with gray tones, as their 2024 color of the year, and Behr announcing Cracked Pepper, a soft black, as theirs.
As Colorado HOA communities evolve, so should their color preferences. The move towards cooler tones and hues reflects a desire for a trendy and chic aesthetic. By embracing these new palettes, HOA communities can create a modern and visually appealing environment that enhances the overall community. Additionally, cooler tones are more versatile and timeless compared to warmer counterparts. While rich neutrals are always timeless, browns and beiges can feel dated. Cooler earth tones are classic and provide a neutral backdrop that coordinates easily with various architectural styles and landscaping elements, ensuring the chosen color scheme remains relevant and attractive for years to come.
