When the River Ridge Fairways homes were built in 1988, sixteen color schemes were chosen to paint the five models, each model having three elevations. At some point after 1988, approximately 1995, seven additional color schemes were added.

In February of 2007 the Board appointed a color committee and tasked the committee to develop a palette of fresher and more modern colors. The goal of the Board is to effect a transition to this 2007 palette. By slowly replacing the dated 1988 color palette and updating the 1995 color schemes with the addition of optional accent colors, the Board is taking a long term approach to enhancing the appearance of River Ridge Fairways. The new palette is comprised of the eleven colors combinations identified in this book as the 2007 Color Schemes.

The 1988 color schemes each had two colors, a stucco color and a trim color. These schemes will continue to be two-color schemes. The 1995 schemes originally had only two colors per scheme but the color committee has selected optional accent colors to coordinate with the original 1995 colors. The 2007 color schemes have optional accent colors.

The 1988 paint color chart lists the name of the color, the old number of the color, the current number of the color (if available) and how to locate that particular chip on the rack in a Dunn-Edwards paint store. When you see "n/a" on the chart that means there is no current chip of that exact color, although the store can always mix that paint for the customer.

The 1995 paint color chart lists the old number, the current number of the color (if available) and how to locate that particular chip on the rack in the Dunn-Edwards paint store. The optional accent colors have only new numbers since they are all current colors and have just been added to the color schemes.

When you choose paint colors for your home, you must use the colors from one color scheme. Mixing and matching of colors from different color schemes will NOT be approved.

Be sure to obtain an actual color swatch for final selection and color matching. Do NOT rely on the color output of your computer monitors or color printers.

The RRF Architectural Review Committee requires that color chips be attached to the application.

Remember—the front door is NOT to be painted. If the door is looking weather beaten, sand and refinish with good quality polyurethane. White is NOT an approved color for your garage door. If you have a new sectional garage door installed, and if it is not in a color that is part of your home’s color scheme, the new door must be painted one of the colors of your home’s color scheme.
