Paint Colors for Homes in Quail Park

The color of your house is a very personal decision, however, there are limitations to what colors are allowed within Quail Park. These limitations exist because of the natural setting we live in and to ensure that our paint colors are in harmony with our surroundings.

The color palette for homes in Quail Park has historically been earth tones, which can range from browns, grays, tans, greens and blues.  Neutral tones are preferred so that the house blends into its environment and does not become the focal point. White as the main house color, or many colors within the red spectrum such as orange, pink or purple, will not be approved. However, brighter shades may be used as an accent color for front doors or house numbers.

It is advisable to obtain sample colors from your painter or paint store and apply a small amount to several different areas of your house before submitting your color choice. Colors vary in different lighting, so make sure the color you select will be acceptable in both bright sunlight and shade.

If at all possible, attach a preview of the paint and trim selections from the paint manufacturer to your Architecture Request form, or provide the code number associated with the colors. Several paint manufacturer websites have the ability to load a picture of your house and add your color selections, or they provide a picture of a house to overlay your selections. This will allow both you and the Architecture Committee to view a “finished product” look and help make the decision an easier one.

Portland Plant List:  A reference guide for homeowners about plants to use and plants to remove and avoid.

• The Native Plants List provide information about associated habitats, flowering seasons, and whether some of these plants pose additional wildfire risk. Only plants from the Native Plants List may be planted in Environmental Overlay Zones, in which many areas of Quail Park are located.

• The Nuisance Plants List identifies species that threaten the health and vitality of native plant and animal communities, humans, and the economy.  Plants on the Nuisance Plant List may not be planted in any of the overlay zones.
